Product Information

Full details

The Profoto 80cm Collapsible Reflector in Translucent is an essential tool for portrait, still life, and product photographers seeking professional lighting control in a portable form factor. It provides a significant surface area for softening harsh light to create natural, flattering effects; however, its larger footprint requires more space in your camera bag compared to smaller alternatives.

FAQs

Is the fabric machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the coating and the structural integrity of the fabric. Spot-clean only.

Can this be used as a background?

While the translucent material can blur light, it is not opaque enough to act as a solid backdrop for most photography.

Does it come with a stand?

No, the package includes the reflector and a carrying case. Light stands or reflector holders are sold separately.

How do I use the translucent side?

Place the reflector between your light source (sun or strobe) and your subject to diffuse the light passing through it.

Is the frame heat resistant?

The frame is durable, but you should avoid placing it in direct, prolonged contact with high-heat modeling lamps to prevent fabric warping.

Troubleshooting

Reflector frame becomes twisted or uneven.

Lay the reflector on a flat surface and gently manipulate the frame back into a circular shape. Avoid forcing the hinges.

Difficulty folding the reflector for storage.

Ensure your hands are positioned correctly at 180 degrees. Twist and push inwards simultaneously while following the natural tension of the wire frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-quality diffusion creates a soft, natural light quality
Ergonomic handles make hand-holding stable and comfortable
Sturdy frame maintains its shape during intensive use
Quickly folds down for compact travel and storage

Cons

Larger diameter may be cumbersome in cramped indoor environments
Requires an assistant or a dedicated stand for hands-free use
Translucent fabric requires a light source behind the subject for effect

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply release the storage strap and allow the frame to spring into its circular shape. For storage, grasp the frame on opposite ends, twist, and fold it back into itself to fit into the included carrying bag.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard light stands via a reflector holder clamp.
Care: Wipe the surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. If the fabric becomes soiled, spot-clean gently with a damp, soft cloth using mild soap and water. Never submerge the frame or use harsh chemical solvents. Keep away from sharp objects that could snag the diffusion fabric.
