Elinchrom Grid News ...

Maybe I can make my own, been thinking about this, even if it doesn't come out perfect, the costs of materials would be minimal with the exception of buying another front diffusion cloth to cut down and then industrial velcro, everything else would probably be like sewing a patchwork quilt. Something to think about anyway.

Wondering if they'll make them for the octoboxes?

You can pretty much count on a significant price tag on a grid for something like the 53" Octa.

Well ya know... i need something to put my Ranger in.

check the buy and sell,i just purchased a lightworks grid for my chimera, theres lots of sizes available

I have a lighttools grid, and while it was ludicrously expensive, it's so well made, much nicer and more durable than the cheap ones, and no one but light tools makes 20 degree grids.

I noticed the range of fabric grid sizes when I checked out the website. I wasn't expecting to have so many options, assuming the provide the full range for Elinchrom modifiers. Since they're so expensive, I'll probably have to pick one size for my 39" deep octa, and I'm wondering what that should be. I have a pretty tight space in my home studio, and the typical 40-degree fabric grids give me less control than I'd like. However, 20 degrees sounds awfully tight. Well, I have to say that this is a fun problem to have, at least, compared to having no options!

I'm also looking for a grid for the deep octa. Hopefully they will be available soon and not priced any higher than the other ridiculously priced lighttools grids. Has anyone adapted an existing grid from another brand to fit the deep octa?

A 20 degree grid for a 39" octa is going to be insanely expensive.

but worth every penny!

Yeah, if you are going to use it a lot of days every month and it saves you time as well as you believe it gives you better control, then that can be a justification if you are doing enough work to pay the high prices.
