Product Information
Full details
The Profoto 120cm Reflector is an essential lighting modifier for professional photographers and studio enthusiasts who require precise light shaping and consistent contrast. Its large surface area provides a soft yet well-defined light, making it ideal for portraiture and commercial shoots, though its significant 120cm size may present storage or transport challenges in smaller, cramped studio environments.

FAQs
Can I use this reflector outdoors?
Yes, but due to its large 120cm size, be aware that it will act like a sail in windy conditions. Use an assistant or a weighted stand.
How do I clean the surface?
Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust or smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
Does this come with a carrying bag?
Yes, it includes a storage bag that protects the reflector while in transit.
What is the primary benefit of the black side?
The black side is designed to act as a flag or negative fill, which can be used to add depth and shadow to your subject.
Is this model compatible with Profoto light stands?
The reflector is compatible with all standard industry light stands using a standard reflector clamp or grip head.
Troubleshooting
Reflector frame is difficult to fold
Ensure you are using the 'twist-and-fold' motion correctly. If it feels stiff, do not force it; gently adjust your grip and try again.
Reflector is unstable on a stand
Ensure the stand clamp is tightened securely and consider using a sandbag on the base of the stand to offset the wind resistance of the large 120cm surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the reflector, gently unfold the frame until it clicks or locks into its rigid circular shape. When finished, carefully fold the frame by twisting the sides in opposite directions, taking care not to kink the internal tension wire.
Compatibility:

- Ideal for use with strobes, speedlights, or natural sunlight.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the reflective surface clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth after every use.
