Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Clic Gel Holder is designed for photographers using Profoto A-series flashes who want to easily add color and ambiance to their shots. Its key benefit is the instant magnetic attachment and the ability to precisely cut and use custom gels with the included template. A notable caveat is its limited direct compatibility, primarily with A-series flashes and the Clic OCF Adapter II, excluding some other Clic accessories.

FAQs

What is included with the Profoto Clic Gel Holder?

The package includes the Clic Gel Holder, a stainless steel template for cutting gels, and a protective carrying case. No color gels are included.

Can I use any color gel with this holder?

Yes, you can use any color gel that you cut to the correct size using the provided template. The holder is designed to accept custom-cut gels.

Which Profoto flashes are compatible?

The Clic Gel Holder is designed for direct attachment to Profoto A-series flashes, including the A1, A1X, and A10.

Can I stack other Clic accessories on top of the gel holder?

Yes, you can stack Clic Gels and Clic Grids onto the Clic Gel Holder. However, it cannot be directly stacked with Clic Softboxes, Clic Snoots, or Clic Magnum accessories.

Does the gel holder affect the light's diffusion or spread?

No, the Clic Gel Holder's primary function is to hold and position a color gel. It does not add diffusion or change the light's spread on its own; that is the role of other modifiers like softboxes or grids.

How do I clean the gel holder?

Clean the holder with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure it is completely dry before use or storage.

Is the stainless steel template reusable?

Yes, the stainless steel template is durable and designed for repeated use to help you accurately cut gels.

Troubleshooting

Holder does not attach magnetically.

Ensure the magnetic surfaces on both the flash/adapter and the gel holder are clean and free of debris. Verify you are attempting to attach it to a compatible Profoto A-series flash or Clic OCF Adapter II.

Gel is not sitting flat or is difficult to insert.

Confirm that the gel has been cut precisely according to the stainless steel template. Re-cut the gel if necessary, ensuring clean, straight edges.

Color rendition is not as expected.

Ensure the correct color gel is inserted. Check that the gel is not damaged or faded. Verify flash settings and camera white balance settings are appropriate for the desired color effect.
