Product Information

Full details

The Profoto OCF II Grid & Gel Holder is designed for photographers seeking to quickly and easily shape light on-the-go. Its key benefit is the rapid attachment and magnetic system for OCF II grids and gels, allowing for seamless creative adjustments. A crucial caveat is that it must only be used with Profoto flashes featuring an LED modeling light, as it is not heat-resistant for halogen modeling lights.

The magnetic attachment system is designed for speed, allowing you to snap grids and gels on and off in mere seconds.

Is this holder suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is designed for on-the-go use and features a secure mounting system. However, like all photography equipment, it should be protected from extreme weather conditions.

What is the primary benefit of using this holder?

The primary benefit is the ability to quickly and easily shape light by rapidly attaching and swapping different grids and gels, offering greater creative control with minimal setup time.

Do I need to purchase OCF II grids and gels separately?

Yes, the OCF II Grid & Gel Holder is a separate accessory and requires the Profoto OCF II grids and gels, which are sold separately.

What is the build material of the holder?

The holder is constructed with a durable Profoto rubber mount and a strong metal clasp for secure attachment. The magnetic elements are integrated for the grids and gels.

Troubleshooting

Holder does not attach securely to flash.

Ensure the flash has an LED modeling light and check that the rubber mount is correctly aligned and the metal clasp is fully engaged.

OCF II grids or gels do not attach magnetically.

Verify that you are using genuine Profoto OCF II grids and gels, which are designed with magnetic elements. Ensure the surface of the holder is clean.

Flash unit overheats when using the holder.

Confirm you are using a Profoto flash with an LED modeling light. Halogen modeling lights generate excessive heat that this holder is not designed to withstand.
