No, this specific diffuser is not compatible with the OCF, RFi, or Clic range of softboxes.
It means the diffuser will absorb light equivalent to half an f-stop, requiring you to open your aperture or increase flash power slightly compared to using the softbox without this specific diffuser.
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the diffuser. Use a light air blast or a dry cloth to clean debris.
This label identifies the exact amount of light attenuation the fabric provides, allowing for predictable exposure adjustments.
Yes, every diffuser kit includes a dedicated, labeled pouch for safe storage and easy identification in your gear bag.
Ensure all Velcro strips are aligned correctly and pressed down firmly. Check for any dust or hair on the Velcro surfaces that may prevent a strong hold.
Re-mount the diffuser to ensure it is centered and pulled taut across the front of the softbox; sagging fabric can cause irregular light patterns.
To install, align the Velcro edges of the diffuser with the interior border of your compatible Profoto Softbox. Press firmly along the perimeter to ensure a secure, light-tight seal. For removal, gently peel the Velcro edges starting from one corner to avoid stressing the fabric.
Compatibility Note: This diffuser is strictly designed for the Profoto Softbox line. It is not compatible with RFi, OCF, or Clic series modifiers.
Care Instructions: Keep the diffuser in the provided labeled pouch when not in use. If the material becomes dusty, clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth or an air blower. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical detergents, as this may alter the light transmission properties of the fabric.
