Product Information
Full details
The Profoto MiniZoom Reflector is designed for professional photographers and videographers using flat-front flashes or point-source LEDs who need a portable, high-performance light modifier. Its key benefit is the ability to increase light output by up to 1.2 f-stops while maintaining a compact form factor that can stay attached to your light during travel; however, it is specifically optimized for compatible Profoto heads and may not achieve the same results on non-standard mounting systems.

FAQs
Does this reflector fit all Profoto lights?
It is specifically engineered for flat-front flashes and point-source LEDs with the Profoto Zoom mount system.
Can I use this with an umbrella?
The MiniZoom is designed primarily as a standalone reflector; using it inside a reflective umbrella may result in restricted light spread.
How much does the output increase?
It provides a light boost of up to 1.2 f-stops, which is approximately 2.5 times the output of a bare light.
Can I leave it attached during transport?
Yes, the compact design allows it to remain attached to your light head for convenient, rapid setup.
How do I clean the interior?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Reflector is loose on the mount
Ensure the locking mechanism on the flash head is fully engaged and check for any debris in the mounting track.
Uneven light output
Inspect the interior of the reflector for dents or severe smudges and ensure the flash tube is centered correctly within the reflector.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the reflector with the mount on your compatible Profoto head and click it into place. You can adjust the light characteristics by sliding the reflector along the housing. To ensure longevity, keep the interior surface clean and free of fingerprints, as smudges can affect the light spread. Always store the unit in a padded bag to protect the metal finish from dents or scratches that could create hot spots in your light output.
