Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Clic Softbox 70cm Octa is a high-quality light modifier designed for portrait, still-life, and product photographers who require soft, flattering illumination in a portable package. Its primary benefit is the rapid magnetic mounting system that allows for near-instant setup, though users should note that it is specifically optimized for Profoto A-series flashes, which may limit compatibility with non-Profoto lighting systems.

FAQs
Which flash models are compatible with this softbox?
This softbox is designed specifically for Profoto A-series flashes, such as the A10 and A2.
Can I use this softbox handheld?
Yes, the softbox includes an integrated handle designed for handheld use on location.
Is the front diffuser removable?
Yes, the front fabric diffuser is designed to be easily accessible, though it is intended to stay on for the softest light quality.
How do I store the softbox properly?
The softbox folds down and should be stored in the provided labeled soft bag to protect the fabric and internal magnetic components.
Does this softbox fit standard Profoto OCF heads?
No, this softbox uses the Clic magnetic mount system, which is specific to the A-series and Clic-compatible flashes.
Troubleshooting
Softbox will not attach to the flash head
Ensure the flash head is a compatible Profoto A-series model and that no debris is obstructing the magnetic mounting points.
Softbox feels loose or unstable on the stand
Check that the stand adapter locking screw is fully tightened and that the softbox is correctly seated within the mount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward due to the magnetic design; simply align the softbox with the face of your Profoto A-series flash until the magnets click into place. The integrated handle and stand adapter are pre-installed, meaning you can move directly from the box to the light stand.
To ensure longevity, avoid forcing the folding mechanism if resistance is felt. After shooting, ensure the softbox is completely dry before folding it back into its labeled soft bag to prevent fabric mildew. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This modifier is exclusively designed for use with Profoto Clic-compatible lighting equipment.
