Product Information
Full details
The Profoto OCF Magnum Reflector is designed for photographers seeking to add hard, punchy light to their setups, especially when shooting on location with Profoto's flat-fronted flashes. Its key benefit is adding significant light output (up to 2 f-stops) and a broad zoom range for versatile light shaping without much added bulk. A key consideration is its compatibility, as it's exclusively recommended for Profoto flat-front lights and has specific limitations on flash and modeling light wattage.
