Essential Portrait Lighting Tool

The Profoto 3ft RFi Octa Softbox is designed for photographers who need natural, wrapping light for portrait, fashion, and beauty work. Its octagonal shape creates a distinctive catch light that mirrors the human eye for flattering results.

Build Integration and Portability

This modifier attaches to a wide range of strobe heads via a compatible speedring, integrating directly into existing flash systems. The 36 diameter provides a broad, even source while remaining manageable for confined studios or on-location shoots.

Light Quality and Control Limits

The included front diffuser and inner baffle allow precise adjustment of intensity and spread for soft, diffused output. The fixed 36 size limits maximum coverage for large groups or very wide scenes where a larger source would be required.
