Marelux SOFT mini(Smart Optical Flash Tube)
The Marelux SOFT mini is an industry-leading snoot designed specifically for macro photography.
By condensing strobe output into a focused, high-intensity beam, it allows photographers to highlight subjects with precision and create dramatic lighting effects.
The Marelux Solution: SOFT mini
Marelux created the SOFT mini to redefine underwater macro lighting through three core innovations:
Perfect Coaxial Alignment: The target light is positioned exactly in the center of the optical structure.
This ensures that the aiming light hits the exact same spot as the strobe flash, eliminating guesswork and parallax errors.
Built-in Adjustable Aperture: Instead of using loose slides, the SOFT features an internal iris controlled by a large, ergonomic dial.
It is easy to operate whether you are in tropical waters or wearing thick gloves in icy conditions.
The aperture smoothly adjusts the beam size from 3mm to 60mm (at a distance of 12–15cm).
Because the iris controls both the target light and the flash simultaneously, what you see is exactly what you get.
Neutral Buoyancy: Crafted from premium blended materials and featuring an injection-molded plastic body, the SOFT MINI-L achieves neutral buoyancy.
This design eliminates underwater weight, ensuring effortless handling and maximum convenience.
Since its launch, the Marelux SOFT has remained one of the most popular snoots in the world, helping countless underwater photographers capture world-class macro images with total control.
