Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Collapsible Reflector is designed for photographers who need a versatile, portable light-shaping tool for both studio and on-location shoots. It excels at providing soft, natural fill or crisp, high-contrast highlights, making it an essential companion for portrait and group photography. However, users should be aware that the large 120cm surface area can be sensitive to windy outdoor conditions, requiring steady hands or a dedicated support system.

FAQs

Is the fabric washable?

It is recommended to clean the fabric with a damp, soft cloth rather than machine washing it, as this preserves the coating and structure.

Can this be mounted to a light stand?

Yes, you can use a standard reflector holder or grip arm to mount the reflector, which is recommended for outdoor shoots to prevent wind movement.

Which side should I use for portraits?

The white side is generally best for natural, soft skin tones. The silver side is preferred for adding punch, highlights, or when shooting in lower light.

What is a squircle shape?

A squircle is a geometric shape that sits between a square and a circle, offering the smooth corners of a circle with the increased surface area of a square.

Is the fabric reversible?

Yes, the Profoto Collapsible Reflector features a dual-sided design, allowing you to flip between the white and silver surfaces quickly.

Troubleshooting

The frame feels difficult to fold.

Ensure you are holding the handles at opposing ends and twisting in a 'figure-eight' motion; do not force the frame if you feel resistance.

The light is too harsh on the silver side.

Increase the distance between the reflector and the subject, or turn the reflector slightly to bounce light indirectly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Large 120cm size provides excellent light coverage for various subject sizes.
Dual-handle design significantly improves control and ergonomic comfort.
High-quality, long-lasting fabric surfaces withstand frequent use.
Folds compactly into a portable carry bag for easy transport.
Versatile enough for both natural sunlight and artificial flash setups.

Cons

The large surface area can catch wind, making it difficult to hold steady outdoors.
Requires some practice to master the folding technique for storage.
Silver side may be too intense under direct, harsh midday sun without careful positioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the reflector, simply remove it from the carry bag and allow the tensioned frame to expand. The integrated handles are designed to be gripped with one or both hands, allowing you to tilt the light toward your subject effectively.

Care Instructions:

Always store the reflector in the provided carrying bag to keep the fabric clean and free of snags.
Gently fold the frame using the tension points to avoid bending or warping the metal.
If the fabric becomes dirty, wipe it down with a slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth and allow it to dry completely before folding it away.
Keep the metal frame away from saltwater or corrosive environments to maintain the integrity of the hinge points.
