FAQs

What is included with the Profoto RFi Softbox - 120x180cm?

The softbox includes the fabric shell, inner and front diffusers, color-coded rods, and a soft bag for storage. A speedring adapter is sold separately.

Do I need a special adapter to use this softbox?

Yes, this softbox requires a Profoto RFi Speedring adapter, which is sold separately. Adapters are available for various lighting brands.

How do I clean the softbox fabric?

Wipe the fabric gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Can I use this softbox with any flash?

You can use it with any flash that is compatible with a Profoto RFi Speedring adapter. Ensure you purchase the correct adapter for your flash model.

What is the benefit of the deeper shape?

The deeper shape provides more directional control over the light and allows for a greater distance between the light source and the front diffuser, contributing to softer light.

Are optional accessories available?

Yes, optional accessories such as softgrids and flat front diffusers are available to further control light spill and focus the light beam.

Troubleshooting

Softbox fabric is not taut.

Ensure all color-coded rods are fully inserted into the speedring adapter and that the fabric is correctly aligned with the adapter's mounting points.

Light is unevenly distributed.

Check that the diffusers (inner and front) are properly attached and centered. Ensure the softbox is positioned correctly relative to the subject.

Difficulty attaching the speedring.

Verify that you have the correct Profoto RFi Speedring adapter for your specific light head and that all locking mechanisms are engaged.
