Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Clic Softgrid Octa is an essential light-shaping tool for portrait and product photographers who use the Profoto Clic Softbox system and need greater control over light spill. By narrowing the beam angle, it allows for highly directed illumination, providing professional precision for controlled lighting setups; however, it is strictly intended for use with Profoto flashes equipped with LED modeling lights to ensure safety and performance.

FAQs
Is the Clic Softgrid Octa compatible with all Profoto flashes?
No, it is strictly recommended for use with Profoto flashes that feature an LED modeling light.
Can I use this with other softbox brands?
The Clic Softgrid is designed specifically for the Profoto Clic Softbox Octa and is not guaranteed to fit other brands or models.
What is the primary benefit of using a grid?
A grid restricts the light spread, allowing for a more focused beam of light and reducing unwanted light spill on the background.
How should I clean the fabric?
Gently spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, but avoid submerging or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Does it come with a carrying case?
Yes, it is delivered in a labeled soft pouch designed for protection and easy identification.
Troubleshooting
Grid does not fit securely on the softbox
Ensure the grid is fully stretched and properly aligned with the perimeter of the softbox frame.
Light spill is still occurring
Double-check that the grid is positioned correctly and that the LED modeling light is not causing unintended diffraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The grid utilizes a pull-over mounting technique. Simply stretch the elasticated edge of the Softgrid over the front perimeter of your assembled Clic Softbox until it is snug. Ensure the grid is seated flat against the face of the softbox for optimal results.
Compatibility Note: This accessory is only compatible with the Profoto Clic Softbox Octa and must only be used with Profoto flashes featuring an integrated LED modeling light to prevent heat damage to the fabric. When not in use, store the grid in the provided soft pouch to keep the honeycomb structure from bending or fraying.
