Would someone be kind enough to positively identify the small octa seen in this frame grab:

It looks too small to me to be the 100cm mini octa.

I have no idea what it is, but I'll take a shot in the dark here and say that it's the 70cm octa. Just like there's a 100cm DO and a Mini 100cm, I'm guessing there's a 70cm octa to go with the 70cm DO as well.

Ah, the deflector! I didn't even notice that's what it is. Thanks.

Yeah, I didn't even see it as a globe. I always thought it was a deflector when I first saw the video. But after you guys called it a globe, I started to second guess myself. Lol.

You should PM Frank Doorhof if anyone on here will know it's going to be him after all he does demos for Elinchrom.

It's the RQ Portalite Octa with Quadra mount. Product code EL26600.
Not quite sure what size it is though but I saw it at their booth and it's certainly smaller than 70cm.
Portalite speedring makes me pretty much just ignore it in the lineup.

Also, check the EL product chart. It's on there as well :)

Edit: It's also in the Elinchrom brochure, size is 56cm.
