Product Information
Full details
The Profoto OCF II Gel in Peacock Blue is designed for professional and enthusiast photographers seeking to inject creative color effects into their off-camera lighting setups. This magnetic filter offers a rapid attachment system for field and studio use, allowing you to quickly shift the mood of your images or add dramatic highlights; however, it is strictly limited to Profoto flashes equipped with LED modeling lights, as it cannot withstand the heat generated by halogen bulbs.

FAQs
Can I use this gel with non-Profoto flashes?
This product is specifically designed for the Profoto OCF II ecosystem and requires the proprietary OCF II mounting hardware.
Can I stack this gel with other color filters?
While it is designed to stack with OCF II Grids, stacking multiple gels may significantly reduce light output and create color shifts not intended by the manufacturer.
Is the Peacock Blue gel color permanent?
Yes, the color is embedded into the material, but the gel can be damaged by high heat or physical scratches.
Why can't I use this with halogen lights?
Halogen bulbs generate intense concentrated heat that exceeds the heat-resistance threshold of the OCF II Gel material, which can lead to melting.
Does this kit come with a storage case?
No, the product is sold as a single gel filter; it is recommended to keep it in a soft protective pouch.
Troubleshooting
Gel will not attach to the light modifier
Verify you are using an OCF II compatible holder or barn door and check that the magnets are clear of debris.
Gel looks warped or damaged
Cease use immediately. Ensure you are not using a flash with a halogen modeling light, as heat damage is permanent.
