The Profoto Spot Small is a light modifier designed to project a highly controlled, pinpoint beam of light, ideal for creating sharp highlights, dramatic shadows, and projecting patterns with precision.
The Spot Small is primarily designed for Profoto lights with a 100mm front diameter, supporting both flat and protruded flash heads. Compatibility with other brands may be limited or require specific adapters not included.
The integrated leaves provide hard-edged shadow control and can create basic shapes. An Iris, used with the optional Iris Holder, offers finer, more precise control, similar to an aperture, allowing for smoother transitions and more circular light shaping.
No, the Spot Small does not include Gobos. It comes with an optional Gobo Holder, and the Gobos themselves must be purchased separately. The Gobos are typically 2.6in Series M.
While primarily designed for hard light, a more diffused effect can be achieved by projecting the light onto a white surface or by using diffusion accessories that are compatible with the Clic system, if available.
The Spot Small can be used with continuous lights up to a maximum of 200W.
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently clean the 115mm optical lens. Avoid using any cleaning solutions or abrasive materials to protect the lens coating.
Ensure the Spot Small is securely attached to the flash head. Adjust the focus on the 115mm lens by rotating it until the desired sharpness is achieved. Check that the integrated leaves are properly aligned and adjusted.
If using a Gobo, ensure it is correctly inserted into the Gobo Holder and is oriented properly. Check the focus of the lens. The sharpness of the projected pattern is directly related to the focus setting of the Spot Small itself.
The unique vented housing is designed to dissipate heat. If the modifier feels excessively hot, ensure the vents are not blocked and that the continuous light source does not exceed the 200W limit. Allow the modifier to cool before handling extensively.
Verify that the Clic accessory is designed for the Spot Small and is aligned correctly with the magnetic front. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection point. Check that the accessory is a Profoto Clic system component.
Setup: The Spot Small attaches directly to compatible Profoto flash heads or strobe units. Ensure the light source is turned off before attaching the modifier. If using the optional Iris or Gobo Holder, slide them into the designated slot on the front of the Spot Small before attaching any Clic accessories.
Compatibility: This modifier is designed for Profoto lights with a 100mm diameter front. It is compatible with both flat and protruded flash head designs. It can be used with continuous lights up to a maximum of 200W. For optimal performance, use with Profoto's own strobe systems and Clic light shaping tools.
Care: To clean the lens, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the optical coating. The metal leaves can be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Store the Spot Small in its protective casing when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and potential damage. Ensure the vented housing remains clear of obstructions to maintain proper airflow.
