FAQs

Can I use these rods for my Profoto RFi softbox?

No, these rods are specifically engineered for the OCF (Off-Camera Flash) line and are not compatible with the heavier RFi softbox series.

Are the rods color-coded?

Yes, they feature color-coded tips to assist with fast and efficient assembly.

How many rods are included in the kit?

The kit includes a total of 4 replacement rods.

Is this compatible with the 1x3' or 2x2' OCF softboxes?

No, this kit is designed exclusively for the 2x3' OCF Rectangle Softbox.

What should I do if a rod bends during a shoot?

Replace the damaged rod immediately to prevent uneven fabric tension, which can negatively affect your lighting output.

Troubleshooting

Rod does not fit into the speedring hole

Ensure you are using the correct rod for the corresponding color-coded position and that the rod is not obstructed by debris.

Softbox fabric remains loose after assembly

Check that all four rods are fully seated in their respective corner pockets and firmly locked into the speedring.
