Product Information

Full details

The Profoto OCF II Snoot is designed for photographers who need precise light control on location. Its key benefit is creating a crisp, direct, and perfectly round light with no spill, ideal for highlighting subjects. A crucial caveat is that it must only be used with Profoto flashes featuring an LED modeling light, not halogen, due to heat limitations. This accessory offers a soft, collapsible design for easy transport and rapid deployment, mounting securely to compatible Profoto monolights.

FAQs

Can I use this snoot with any brand of flash?

No, the Profoto OCF II Snoot is specifically designed to mount securely onto Profoto monolights with LED modeling lights.

What is the main benefit of using a snoot?

A snoot dramatically reduces light spread, creating a tight, focused beam of light, often in a circular shape, allowing you to highlight specific subjects or areas without light spill.

Can I use gels with the OCF II Snoot?

Yes, you can use Profoto OCF II Gels by first mounting them to the OCF II Grid & Gel Holder, which then attaches to the front of the snoot.

What is the material of the snoot?

The snoot is made of a soft, collapsible material that allows for easy packing and quick deployment.

Does it come with a carrying case?

Yes, the Profoto OCF II Snoot includes a practical soft carry case for protection during transport.

Why can't I use this with Profoto flashes that have halogen modeling lights?

Flashes with halogen modeling lights generate significantly more heat than those with LED modeling lights. This heat can damage the soft material of the snoot, making it unsafe to use.

How compact is it when collapsed?

The soft, collapsible design allows it to fold down easily, making it very compact for storage in camera bags or lighting kits.

Troubleshooting

Snoot does not attach securely

Ensure the rubber collar is properly aligned with the flash head and the metal clasp is fully engaged. Verify you are using a compatible Profoto monolight.

Light is not round or shows spill

Check that the snoot is fully unfolded and correctly mounted. Ensure no other modifiers are obstructing the light path directly in front of the snoot.

Snoot feels loose or unstable

Re-mount the snoot, ensuring the clasp clicks into place. Check the rubber collar for any debris or damage that might prevent a snug fit.

Overheating warning or flash malfunction

Immediately stop use if you suspect overheating. Confirm you are using a Profoto flash with an LED modeling light. Halogen modeling lights generate too much heat and will damage the snoot.
