Menkar Softbox Set — Portrait
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Softboxes are bought in minutes and used for decades; the Menkar respects the decades — speedrings that spin under load, textiles stocked panel by panel, and cases that make vans happy.
A parabolic is a precision instrument pretending to be an umbrella: sixteen or twenty-four ribs holding a true curve, a focusing rod that glides and locks, and fabrics whose silver keeps its colour after the two-hundredth assembly. Ours are hand-finished, serialised, and repairable rib by rib.
Design & Craft
- Beam pattern measured on our photometric bench — the listing is the box
- Speedring spins smoothly under full fixture weight
- Every panel, rib and layer stocked as a part for fifteen years
- Inner and outer diffusion in graded weights
- Textiles woven and graded for neutral colour after years of vans

Care
Open and close by the hub, not the ribs; keep speedrings matched to their fixture; and shake dust from grids rather than washing them. Fabrics keep their neutrality for years if they travel in their sleeves.
Questions, Answered
Which mount does it fit?
S-type as standard, with speedrings for the major systems listed in the options. Tell the concierge your fixtures and we confirm fitment before dispatch.
Can textiles be replaced?
Every panel, rib and diffusion layer is a stocked part for fifteen years. Modifiers should retire from fashion, not from failure.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
One standard across the range: if it would not survive our own rental fleet, it does not ship with the ELVARNIXO mark.
