Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Barndoor Set is an essential lighting control tool designed for professional photographers and videographers who use the Profoto Zoom Reflector system. It provides precise command over light shaping, allowing users to cut light spill and focus intensity exactly where it is needed within a scene. While it offers unparalleled creative control, users should note that it requires familiarity with manual light adjustment to achieve the desired asymmetric effects and light fall-off.

FAQs

Can I use this with non-Profoto reflectors?

This unit is designed specifically for the Profoto Zoom Reflector and may not fit securely on other brands.

Does this set include grids?

No, the grids are sold separately, though the set includes the necessary holder to use them.

Will this block the entire light output?

It can be used to create very narrow beams, but the barndoors are designed for shaping rather than completely blacking out the light source.

Is the finish heat resistant?

Yes, it is finished with a heat-resistant matte black coating suitable for continuous use with strobe flashes.

How do I create a soft graduation?

Set the barndoors at a slight angle rather than perpendicular to the light source to allow for a gradual light fall-off.

Troubleshooting

Barndoors feel stiff when opening or closing.

Check the hinge pins for debris and ensure no metal has been slightly deformed by an impact.

The unit does not sit securely on the Zoom Reflector.

Ensure the mounting rim is completely clean and that the locking mechanism is fully engaged.

Grids are loose inside the holder.

Confirm that the grid size is correct and that the tension clips are correctly positioned to hold the accessory firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for eliminating unwanted light spill
  • Highly versatile for creative lighting effects
  • Compatible with a wide range of standard Profoto grids
  • Compact and lightweight for travel
  • Robust metal construction ensures long-term durability

Cons

  • Requires manual adjustment, which can be time-consuming
  • Adds length and bulk to the front of the Zoom Reflector
  • Practice is needed to master complex light shaping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply slide the Barndoor Set onto the front of your compatible Profoto Zoom Reflector until it locks securely into place. You can rotate the assembly by loosening the primary tension ring if provided, or by turning the unit on the reflector mount.

Compatibility: This model is specifically engineered for the Profoto Zoom Reflector. It supports standard circular grids for those seeking even tighter light beam control.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the hinges clean and free of dust to maintain smooth movement.
  • Avoid forcing the doors beyond their mechanical stops.
  • Store in a padded bag to prevent the metal flaps from bending during transit.
