Product Information

Full details

This adapter is for photographers using Elinchrom Quadra flash heads who want to expand their lighting modifier options. Its key benefit is enabling the use of a wide range of Elinchrom accessories, such as softboxes and reflectors, directly on Quadra heads. A potential caveat is that while it supports large softboxes, users should always ensure the tilt mechanism is securely locked to prevent slippage.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the MK-II adapter?

The Elinchrom MK-II adapter allows you to mount Elinchrom-specific accessories, such as softboxes and reflectors, onto Elinchrom Quadra flash heads, which normally have a different mount.

Can I use any brand of softbox with this adapter?

No, this adapter is designed specifically for Elinchrom-mount accessories. You can use Elinchrom reflectors, Rotalux softboxes, Litemotiv softboxes, and other Elinchrom accessories.

Does the adapter come with a light stand mount?

Yes, the adapter features an integrated stand mount that attaches to your light stand, relieving stress on the flash head itself.

What kind of umbrellas can I use with the built-in bracket?

The adapter has a built-in bracket designed to accommodate umbrellas with a standard 7mm shaft.

How much weight can the tilt mechanism support?

The adapter features a heavy-duty tilt mechanism designed to support even the largest Elinchrom softboxes, but it's crucial to always secure the locking knob firmly.

Is this adapter compatible with all Elinchrom Quadra heads?

Yes, the MK-II adapter is designed to be compatible with Elinchrom Quadra flash heads.

How do I clean the adapter?

Wipe the adapter with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Accessory does not lock onto the adapter

Ensure the accessory's bayonet tabs are properly aligned with the adapter's slots and that you are twisting it firmly in the correct direction until it clicks.

Adapter does not attach securely to the Quadra head

Check for any obstructions on the Quadra head's mount or the adapter's receiving area. Ensure the adapter is fully seated before attempting to lock it.

Modifier sags or slips after being positioned

Tighten the tilt mechanism locking knob more securely. If using a very large or heavy modifier, ensure the stand supporting the entire setup is stable and appropriately rated.

Umbrella bracket feels loose

Ensure the umbrella shaft is inserted fully into the bracket. Some umbrellas may have slightly different shaft tolerances; try a different umbrella if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the adapter, align the Elinchrom accessory (reflector, softbox, etc.) with the adapter's bayonet mount and twist until it locks securely. Then, attach the adapter to the Elinchrom Quadra flash head, ensuring it clicks into place. Mount the assembled unit onto a light stand using the integrated stand mount.

Compatibility: This adapter is designed for Elinchrom Quadra flash heads and allows the attachment of most Elinchrom-mount accessories.

Care: To care for the adapter, wipe it clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Regularly check the tilt mechanism and locking knob to ensure they are functioning correctly and free of debris. Store in a dry environment.
