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.
