Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Stripmask 1x4' is a specialized edge mask designed for professional photographers who require precise light control for rim lighting or selective subject highlighting. By attaching directly to the recessed front of compatible Profoto strip softboxes, it narrows the light beam to create distinct, focused highlights. While this accessory significantly enhances lighting versatility, users should note that it is exclusively compatible with standard Profoto softbox lines and cannot be used with RFi, OCF, or Clic series softboxes.

FAQs
Is this compatible with my RFi softbox?
No, this stripmask is not compatible with RFi, OCF, or Clic ranges.
What is the primary purpose of the Stripmask?
It is used to narrow the light beam of a strip softbox, creating a thinner, more precise highlight.
How does it attach to the softbox?
It uses hook-and-loop (velcro) fasteners to attach to the recessed front of the softbox.
What should I do if the velcro starts losing its grip?
Ensure the fastener strips are clear of lint and dust. If they are clean and still not holding, ensure you are pressing them firmly into the matching surface on the softbox.
Does this come with a case?
Yes, it is delivered in a labeled soft pouch for easy storage and identification.
Troubleshooting
Mask does not attach securely to the softbox
Verify that your softbox is a standard Profoto model and not an RFi, OCF, or Clic version. Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are free of dust or debris.
Fabric appears wrinkled or uneven
Ensure the mask is pulled taut when attaching the velcro. Laying the mask flat when stored in its pouch will help minimize deep creases over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the mask, ensure your compatible Profoto strip softbox is fully assembled. Align the hook-and-loop edges of the mask with the inner recessed border of the softbox front. Press firmly to engage the fasteners across all sides. For maintenance, keep the fabric clean of dust and debris; if the mask becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Always store the mask in its provided soft pouch when not in use to prevent creasing or damage to the fastener strips. This product is intended for use with standard Profoto Strip Softboxes only.
