Full details

This Profoto 2x3-Feet Rectangular Softbox is designed for photographers seeking soft, flattering light for fashion, beauty, and portrait work. Its primary benefit is the rapid, integrated setup and precise control over lighting. A potential caveat is its compatibility is primarily within the Profoto ecosystem.

FAQs

What size is this softbox?

The softbox measures 2x3 feet (approximately 60x90 cm).

How quickly can I set this up?

Thanks to its all-in-one mount and collapsible frame, setup is designed to be very rapid, often taking less than a minute once familiar with the mechanism.

Can I use this with my speedlight or non-Profoto flash?

Directly, it is designed for Profoto 100mm heads and A-series flashes with an OCF adapter. For other brands, you would need a compatible speed ring adapter, if available.

What kind of light quality does it produce?

It produces soft, diffused, and flattering light with a white interior, ideal for reducing harsh shadows and creating a gentle illumination.

Is it suitable for continuous lighting?

Yes, the softbox is heat-resistant and compatible with continuous lights up to 500W halogen.

Does it come with any accessories?

The softbox includes its integrated speed ring and a carry case. Optional accessories like diffuser kits and masks are sold separately.

How do I clean the softbox?

Clean the softbox using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Softbox is difficult to set up or collapse.

Ensure the frame is fully extended and locked into place before attempting to attach it to the light. For collapsing, make sure all locking mechanisms are released properly. Gentle, even pressure is key.

Light output appears uneven.

Check that the interior diffusion fabric is correctly and smoothly attached. Ensure the flash head is centered within the softbox. Verify that the light is not being obstructed by any external elements.

Heat from continuous light seems excessive.

While heat-resistant, always ensure adequate ventilation around the light source. Do not exceed the 500W halogen limit. Allow the softbox to cool before packing.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

This is normal for collapsible fabrics. Most creases will relax during use. If severe, a very low-heat iron *on the exterior only* with a protective cloth may help, but exercise extreme caution.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Profoto Softbox Rectangular features an all-in-one mount design. To set it up, simply unfold the collapsible frame; the integrated speed ring attaches directly to compatible Profoto light heads. The diffuser can be attached or removed as needed. For setup, ensure the frame is securely locked before attaching it to your light.

Compatibility: This softbox is designed for Profoto lighting systems. It is compatible with all Profoto 100mm light heads. For Profoto A-series flashes, an OCF Adapter is required. It is also compatible with accessories such as the Profoto Softbox Diffuser Kit Rectangular and Profoto Edge Mask Rectangular.

Care: To clean the softbox, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the fabric or reflective interior. Store the softbox in its provided carry case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
