Precision Light Control for Off-Camera Flash
The Profoto 1x3' Softgrid attaches to a compatible softbox to narrow the beam and reduce spill. Photographers and videographers who need directed illumination for portrait, product or on-location work will find it a practical addition to their kit. Its rectangular 1 by 3 foot format suits strip-lighting setups where controlled contrast is essential. The accessory is aimed at professionals who want predictable light shaping without bulky modifiers.
Passive Thermal Behaviour and Silent Operation
The softgrid contains no electronics, fans or moving parts, so it generates no heat and produces zero noise during use. It draws no power and adds no electrical load to the flash system. The fabric construction allows normal convective cooling of the flash head through the softbox front diffuser. Performance remains consistent regardless of session length or ambient temperature.
Durable Fabric Build and Simple Mounting
High-quality materials resist wear from repeated attachment, transport and studio handling. The grid mounts directly to the softbox front via the standard Profoto hook-and-loop perimeter, requiring no tools or extra hardware. Its lightweight frame folds flat for storage and fits in most modifier bags, making it convenient for location work. The 1x3' dimensions match Profoto strip softboxes, ensuring a secure fit without light leaks.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the 1x3' Softgrid to my Profoto Off-Camera Flash Softbox, and what step is often missed?
The Softgrid uses a hook-and-loop perimeter that presses onto the softbox's front diffuser; the step often missed is aligning all four corners before smoothing the edges, otherwise light leaks appear at the gaps.
What maintenance or replacement will the 1x3' Softgrid need over time?
The fabric grid can collect dust and fibres; clean it with a soft brush or low-suction vacuum. If the hook-and-loop strips lose grip or the cells sag, replace the entire Softgrid.
What limit appears first when using the 1x3' Softgrid continuously on location?
The narrowed beam reduces coverage width, so the practical limit is working distance — you must move the softbox closer to the subject or accept a smaller lit area compared to using the softbox alone.
