The 29 x 69" Indirect Litemotiv Recta from Elinchrom is what most people think of when they hear the word "softbox." This is the go-to box for fashion, portraiture, product, and corporate work. While the shape is ideal for vertical subjects, the Recta rotates 360 degrees if you need wide field coverage. And at just 27.6", it's not too deep to hoist overhead on a boom.

Elinchrom Indirect Litemotiv Recta Overview

The 29 x 69" Indirect Litemotiv Recta from Elinchrom is what most people think of when they hear the word "softbox." This is the go-to box for fashion, portraiture, product, and corporate work. While the shape is ideal for vertical subjects, the Recta rotates 360 degrees if you need wide field coverage. And at just 27.6", it's not too deep to hoist overhead on a boom.

Called Indirect because of how its rear-firing design softens the light output, the Litemotiv Rectangle boasts an edge to edge brightness without hotspots, yet can take the heat when it has to. The black-backed silver reflective material is rated for lamps up to 650W, and the unique folding system allows you to quickly break it down for transport or storage. Each Leitmotiv comes with both a front and interior diffuser, as well as a quality made carrying case.

The Litemotiv Rectangle can be used with Elinchrom or Profoto flash heads with separate purchase of an adapter.

Construction
The unique folding system allows a speedy setup of the Indirect Litemotiv in any location and with each softbox.
Quality of Light
The central mounting for the flash head places the flashtube at the point of focus inside the softbox for the best possible results. The light is so even that many photographers use it as a single source.
More Light
The reflective fabric of the Litemotiv softboxes offers more light output compared to previous fabrics while providing the same distinctive Elinchrom look. Built to last and heat-resistant up to 650W, it is a good choice for rental studios.
Compatibility
The integral reflector of an Elinchrom flash unit is designed to maximize the efficiency and evenness of light. The flashtube is precisely positioned 20mm from the surface to avoid the inherent unevenness of non-concentric flashtubes. The bayonet mount is compatible with all Elinchrom flash units since 1974.
Stability
Small rings were added to the sides of the softbox so that photographers can securely attach them to the ground or any element around them.
Portability
The setting up / breaking down process is so simple that, even though this is a large softbox, it can be quickly folded down into one carrying bag for convenient storage and transport.
