What Profoto flashes is this softbox compatible with?

It is recommended for Profoto off-camera flashes with LED modeling lights, such as the B1X and B2. It is not compatible with D1, D2, or standard heads.

How quickly can I set this softbox up?

The design features color-coded rods and a fixed diffuser, allowing for very fast and easy setup, ideal for on-location shoots.

Can I modify the light further with this softbox?

Yes, an optional softgrid can be used with this softbox for even more precise light shaping and control, reducing light spill.

What are the dimensions of the softbox?

The dimensions are 304 mm in width and 914 mm in height.

How should I clean the softbox?

Troubleshooting

Softbox is difficult to assemble

Ensure the color-coded rods are correctly aligned with the speedring sockets. Gently flex the rods if they feel stiff. Check that the speedring is securely attached to the flash head.

Light appears uneven

Verify that the diffuser is properly attached and flat. Ensure the softbox is positioned at an appropriate distance from the subject. Experiment with the angle of the softbox.

Speedring is not attaching to the flash

Confirm that you are using a Profoto OCF Speedring, as this softbox is only compatible with the OCF system. Ensure the speedring is the correct model for your flash head.
