Product Information

Full details

The Profoto Soft Zoom Diffuser 120 is designed for photographers seeking to soften and diffuse light from the Profoto Soft Zoom Reflector 120. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, neutral light quality, ideal for portraits and product photography. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with the Soft Zoom Reflector 120, meaning it is not a standalone light source or compatible with other modifiers. This accessory easily attaches to the reflector, transforming harsh light into a pleasing, diffused output, and can also act as a neutral density filter.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Profoto Soft Zoom Diffuser 120?

Its main purpose is to soften and diffuse the light output from the Profoto Soft Zoom Reflector 120, creating a more flattering and even illumination for photography.

Can I use this diffuser with other Profoto reflectors?

No, the Soft Zoom Diffuser 120 is specifically designed for and compatible only with the Profoto Soft Zoom Reflector 120.

Does the diffuser affect the color of the light?

The diffuser is designed to provide a neutral light. It should not significantly alter the color temperature of the light source.

How do I clean the diffuser?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the neutral density filter effect?

When used with specific camera settings (low apertures or long exposures), the diffuser can act like a neutral density filter, reducing the amount of light reaching the camera sensor without changing the color balance. This helps in controlling exposure in bright conditions.

Is a protective pouch included?

Yes, the Profoto Soft Zoom Diffuser 120 typically comes with a protective pouch for storage and transport.

How does this differ from the Soft Zoom Reflector 120 itself?

The Soft Zoom Reflector 120 shapes and directs light. The Soft Zoom Diffuser 120 is an accessory that attaches to the reflector to soften and spread that light further.

Troubleshooting

Diffuser does not attach securely to the reflector.

Ensure you are using the correct Profoto Soft Zoom Reflector 120. Check for any obstructions or damage on the mounting points of both the diffuser and the reflector. Gently re-align and apply even pressure during attachment.

Light appears uneven or has artifacts after attaching the diffuser.

Verify that the diffuser is correctly and fully seated on the reflector. Ensure the light source itself is positioned correctly within the reflector. Check the diffuser material for any tears or damage.

Reduced light output is more than expected.

The diffuser naturally reduces light output. Ensure your light source's power setting is adjusted accordingly. Confirm the diffuser is not being used in conjunction with other light-reducing accessories unless intended.
