Product Information

Full details

The Profoto RFi Softbox 40x60cm is a professional-grade light-shaping tool designed for photographers who demand high-quality light and robust build durability.

A key caveat for new users is that the RFi speedring adapter is not included with the softbox and must be purchased separately to match your specific flash brand.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the speedring adapter included in the box?

No, the RFi speedring must be purchased separately to ensure compatibility with your specific flash brand.

Can I use this softbox with other brands of flashes?

Yes, you can use it with almost any flash brand as long as you purchase the correct Profoto RFi speedring adapter for your specific light.

What is the primary benefit of the silver interior?

The silver interior boosts the light output and provides a crisp, punchy character compared to white-interior softboxes.

Is it suitable for outdoor location shoots?

Yes, its lightweight design and durable fabrics make it a popular choice for location work, though care should be taken in windy conditions.

How do I choose between the different sizes of RFi softboxes?

Remember the basic rule: the larger the light source is in relation to your subject, the softer the resulting light will be. Choose the 40x60cm for portraits and smaller product shots.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting rods into the speedring

Ensure you are using a compatible Profoto RFi speedring and check that the rod ends are properly seated in the hub.

Light unevenness or 'hot spots'

Verify that both the internal baffle and the front diffuser are correctly centered and securely attached via the Velcro tabs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-quality build for long-term reliability
Excellent, even light distribution from dual diffusers
Compact and lightweight for easier portability
Color-coded assembly system saves time on set
Highly versatile with multiple optional light-shaping accessories

Cons

Speedring adapter sold separately
Requires some assembly time compared to folding umbrella-style softboxes
Smaller size may be less suitable for full-length portrait shots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble the softbox, insert the color-coded rods into the corresponding pockets on the speedring (sold separately) and the softbox shell. Once tensioned, attach the internal and front diffusers using the provided Velcro strips.

Compatibility: This model requires an RFi speedring, which is available for all major flash brands, ensuring compatibility with your current lighting kit.

Care: To maintain the integrity of the fabric and reflective coating, always disassemble the unit before storage in its labeled bag. Keep the softbox away from extreme heat sources. If the diffusers become dusty, clean them with a soft, dry brush or a very lightly dampened cloth; do not submerge the fabric in water.
