Product Information
Full details
The Elinchrom 70cm Beauty Dish in white is an essential light-shaping tool for portrait and commercial photographers who require a distinct balance between soft, broad illumination and crisp, high-contrast detail. By utilizing a parabolic design, it delivers a unique quality of light that is sharper than a traditional softbox while remaining flattering to skin textures, though it does require a slightly steeper learning curve for beginners adjusting the internal deflectors.

FAQs
Can I use this beauty dish outdoors?
Yes, but due to its large, bowl-like shape, it acts like a sail in the wind. Use a heavy-duty sandbagged light stand.
What is the difference between the silver and white interior?
The white interior offers a softer, more diffused light with less contrast compared to the silver version.
Are the deflectors compatible with other brands?
The deflector system is specifically designed for the Elinchrom ecosystem and its unique central rod mounting system.
Does this dish come with a honeycomb grid?
The standard package includes the dish and deflector set; check your specific retailer bundle if a grid is included.
How do I create a warmer light with this dish?
Simply install the golden deflector provided in the set to add a warmer tone to your subject.
Troubleshooting
The light output feels uneven across the frame.
Check that the central deflector is perfectly centered and the rod is locked securely at the desired depth.
Difficulty attaching the modifier to the strobe.
Ensure the bayonet mount is clean and aligned correctly; do not force the locking mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Creates flattering, soft light with natural shadow fall-off
- Versatile output options via interchangeable deflectors
- Provides iconic circular catchlights in portraiture
- High-quality, professional-grade construction
- Larger 70cm size offers broad, even lighting coverage
Cons
- More bulky to transport than standard softboxes
- Requires careful handling of the deflector mounting rod
- Best results require understanding of deflector positioning
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your beauty dish, ensure the mount is firmly locked onto your Elinchrom strobe. The deflector system attaches via a central rod that passes through the dish to the light source.
- Insert the chosen deflector onto the mounting rod.
- Adjust the rod depth to control how much light hits the center versus the edges of the dish.
- Secure the rod with the locking screw.
For care, always store the dish in a protective bag to prevent dents. Wipe the white interior periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive chemicals on the reflector surface to maintain consistent light output.
