Product Information
Full details
The Profoto Tele-Zoom Reflector is a high-performance lighting accessory engineered for professional photographers who require intense, focused light output across long distances. It is ideal for studio work where deep light character and precise beam control are essential, though its specialized depth and design may be overkill for small, cramped shooting environments.

FAQs
What is the primary difference between the Zoom Reflector and the Tele-Zoom?
The Tele-Zoom is significantly deeper than the standard Zoom Reflector, which allows for a more directed throw of light and distinct shadow transitions over longer distances.
Can I use this for soft light?
No, this is a hard-light reflector. If you need soft light, you would be better served by a softbox or a wide-angle umbrella.
Is this reflector heavy to carry?
At 850g, it is moderately light for its size, but its 420mm length makes it best suited for studio storage rather than compact travel kits.
How do I imitate a cinematic spotlight with this?
You can add an optional 10-degree grid to the front of the reflector to narrow the beam significantly and create the distinct look of a movie spot.
Does it fit all Profoto lights?
It is compatible with standard Profoto flash heads. Always verify your specific head model's mount if you are using specialized or very compact units.
Troubleshooting
Light output seems uneven or scattered.
Ensure the reflector is properly seated on the flash head and check that the zoom adjustment is set correctly for your desired beam width.
Reflector feels loose when mounted.
Verify that the mounting latch on the base of the reflector is fully engaged and clean the locking mechanism of any dust or debris.
