Portalite Softbox 56 cm Octa is a compact and affordable light shaper for photographers who want soft, controlled light in a highly portable format. It is easy to set up, easy to carry, and compatible with all Elinchrom flash units since 1974.
An easy way to shape soft, focused light
The 56 cm Octa shape is designed for photographers who want a lightweight softbox with reliable light quality and smooth, natural falloff. Its compact octagonal design makes it especially useful for portraits, beauty work, tighter setups, and subjects where you want soft light with clear direction.
Used with the optional deflector set, the Portalite 56 cm Octa can also create a light character similar to a small beauty dish, giving you added flexibility in a compact setup.
Built for quick setup and easy handling
The EL speedring and rods are designed for stability and fast assembly. That makes Portalite a practical choice when you want to work efficiently and spend more time shaping the image than managing the setup.
Its lightweight construction and compact size also make it easy to transport. For photographers working both in the studio and on location, it is a convenient softbox to keep in the car or in the kit bag.
Elinchrom compatibility since 1974
Portalite fits all Elinchrom flash units with the Elinchrom mount since 1974. This gives you a straightforward solution within the Elinchrom system, without relying on third-party accessories or uncertain fit.
The materials follow the same quality approach used in the Elinchrom Rotalux range, but in a more accessible format for photographers who want dependable performance and effective light shaping at a lower investment.
