FAQs

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

Do I need a special adapter to use this softbox?

Can I use this softbox with any flash?

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.
