curious that you can get it.

I have tried with 1 strobe without any modifier. I face it to opposite subject wall, which mean the light is bounce from the wall to subject. I get pure white background, but somehow the subject skin tone was also over exposed...

To properly expose the subject by bouncing off the wall facing the subject has the light falling off to much before it gets to the white BG. To expose the white BG to get white has you over exposing the subject. You need separate light on the BG and subject.

why not buy the elinchrom one?
the 17" grid is already available, the 27" grid should be out soon.

The question is when

Eli octa framed grids look... weird. I just found a no-name brand that does the job for my 27" silver softlight dish. Haven't used the combo much really but this is one example with it...

First real post in here... These were shot last night with a DLite4it with a gridded 27" BD.

44cm = 17"

70cm = 27"

262299 is Vistek's code for the 27" Elinchrom Frankengrid. Is that the size you're looking for?

Kemzo - was from a shop locally down here. The prices on those vistek links Dave posted look reasonable so probably best to go for the Eli frankengrid.

Anyone know how that mounts (beyond the obvious). Wondering if it'd mount on my 70cm Deep Octa.
