Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Softgrid 4' Octa is a high-quality light shaping tool designed for professional photographers who need precise control over their studio lighting. By narrowing the light spread to 50 degrees, it allows you to direct illumination exactly where it is needed while minimizing unwanted spill onto backgrounds or other set elements. While it is an essential tool for creating dramatic contrast and mood, users should note that it is exclusively compatible with the standard Profoto Softbox line and cannot be used with the RFi, OCF, or Clic ranges.

FAQs

Will this work with my OCF softbox?

No, this Softgrid is exclusively for the standard Profoto Softbox line and is not compatible with OCF, RFi, or Clic ranges.

How do I know if my softbox has a recessed front?

Standard Profoto softboxes are engineered with a dedicated velcro channel set back from the edge; if your box has this recessed area, it is likely compatible.

What is the degree of light spread?

The Softgrid 4' Octa limits the light spread to 50 degrees.

Is the grid foldable for travel?

Yes, the fabric construction allows it to be folded down for storage in the provided soft pouch.

What material is the grid made of?

It is made of high-quality, durable fabric designed to maintain its shape under studio conditions.

Troubleshooting

Grid does not attach to the softbox.

Verify that your softbox is part of the standard Profoto line and not the RFi, OCF, or Clic ranges, which use different attachment methods.

Grid appears saggy or uneven.

Ensure that the velcro edges are seated deeply within the recessed channel of the softbox, as tension is required to keep the grid flat.

Light is still spilling onto the background.

Check your positioning; ensure the softbox is angled appropriately and that the grid is firmly attached to the front of the modifier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This accessory is designed for simple, tool-free installation. To set up, align the velcro borders of the grid with the recessed front edge of your compatible Profoto softbox and press firmly into place. Compatibility is limited to the standard Profoto Softbox line; verify your softbox model before purchase as this will not fit RFi, OCF, or Clic ranges. For care, gently dust the fabric with a soft brush or compressed air. If the fabric becomes soiled, spot clean with a damp, lint-free cloth and ensure it is completely dry before storing it back in the labeled pouch.
