It’s no secret I absolutely love Phottix products.
I’m using their indra system and this is an amazing strobe solution with which you can shoot both in the studio (via the AC pack) and on location via the battery pack. As modifier I absolutely love their Spartan “beauty dish” which gives me great flexibility and it’s easy to transport. But they have something new that really caught my attention at professional imaging a few weeks ago, and now it’s been released to the world….. and you guys will love it.

Enter the Raja series

As mentioned I played with these already during the professional imaging and loved the way you can set them up REALLY fast, it’s a simple click and fold system, so no more hassle with rods and changes to break something, or not being able to assemble it fast. You can compare it to the Elinchrom Rotalux system which of course is widely regarded as one of the best ways to setup your softbox. Also cool is that it’s a very round design PLUS they deliver a grid with them AWESOME I love grids…. (no secret either I guess).

The Raja can be mounted on Bowens, Balcar, Profoto and Elinchrom and this makes it a very interesting system for many shooters, and let’s be honest why limit yourself to just one brand, I never got that idea, the more people that can use it the better.

Sizes
The Raja is available in the following options.
60-80 cm
These must be my favorites, they are deep and that means you can really steer your light you want it.
80-90 cm
A very nice softbox, a good size and again, very easy to setup.
65-105 cm
More standard octas, not the deep variety.

As you can see more than enough choice… so how does it look?
Here is the line up.

Now this is not a review, I’m waiting for delivery of my version but I did wanted to point you guys towards them because I think you will absolutely love these.
Let me know if you get one and how you like them.
