Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Provides noticeably softer, more even light spread compared to the bare Minisoft Reflector alone.
- Quick to attach and remove without tools, making mid-shoot adjustments easy.
- Lightweight fabric adds virtually no weight to the reflector assembly.
- Affordable way to expand the versatility of an existing Minisoft Reflector.
👎 Cons
- Only fits the 43cm Minisoft Reflector, so it cannot be used with other Elinchrom modifiers.
- Thin fabric can tear if handled roughly or snagged on equipment.
- Does not include any grid or additional light-control accessories.
- Reduces output by over a stop, which may be limiting in lower-power setups.
Frequently Asked Questions
What reflector is this diffuser compatible with?
It is designed specifically for the Elinchrom 43cm (17") Minisoft Reflector. It will not fit other Elinchrom reflectors of different sizes or mounting systems.
How does this diffuser attach to the reflector?
It stretches over the front of the Minisoft Reflector and holds in place with an elastic edge, allowing quick installation and removal.
How much light loss should I expect when using this diffuser?
Expect roughly 1 to 1.5 stops of light loss, which is typical for a single-layer fabric diffuser of this type. You will need to increase your flash power or open your aperture to compensate.
Can I use this diffuser with continuous lights or only with flash?
It is intended for use with Elinchrom flash heads. Using it with high-heat continuous lights could damage the diffusion fabric.
