Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Magnum Reflector White is designed for photographers seeking a softer, broader, and more balanced light source that also increases light output by one f-stop. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to modify hard light into a more flattering, usable form for portraits and product photography. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility requirements with Profoto flash heads.
