Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Collapsible Reflector 80cm is designed for professional photographers who require a durable and versatile light-shaping tool for both studio and on-location work. Its primary benefit lies in its superior light control and ease of handling, allowing for precise illumination adjustments; however, users should be aware that the 80cm diameter, while excellent for portability, may require additional support when used in windy outdoor environments.

FAQs

Can the Sunsilver side be flipped?

Yes, the reflector is reversible, allowing you to choose between the warmer Sunsilver surface and the neutral White side depending on your lighting needs.

Is a carrying bag included?

Yes, every Profoto 80cm collapsible reflector comes with a dedicated carrying bag for protection and easy transport.

Can I use this outdoors in the wind?

While possible, you should secure the reflector to a stand with a clamp, as the large surface area can easily catch the wind and become unstable.

What is the primary difference between this and a standard white reflector?

The Sunsilver side offers a slightly more specular, warmer reflection that adds pop and contrast compared to the purely neutral, softer white surface.

How do I clean the fabric?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid water or liquid cleaners to prevent damage to the reflective finish.

Troubleshooting

The reflector is difficult to fold back into the bag.

Ensure you are using the twist-and-fold motion while keeping your wrists supple; do not force the frame, as it will naturally snap into a circular shape.

The surface shows minor creases.

Minor creases are normal due to the collapsible nature of the fabric and typically do not impact the light reflection quality during a shoot.

Pros and Cons

  • More expensive than entry-level budget alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Profoto reflector is straightforward: simply remove it from its storage bag and allow it to spring open. To collapse it, hold the edges with both hands, twist in opposite directions, and fold the loops inward. The reflector is compatible with all standard reflector arms and clamps. To maintain the life of the product, always store it in its protective carrying case when not in use. If the surface becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the reflective coating.
