Troubleshooting

Diffuser does not fit securely

Ensure you are using a compatible Profoto Large White or Silver umbrella. Check that the elastic band is fully engaged around the entire perimeter of the umbrella frame.

Light appears uneven through the diffuser

Make sure the diffuser is pulled taut and evenly distributed over the umbrella face. Check for any wrinkles or creases that might be obstructing light.
