Diffuser Kit for Profoto Softboxes
This kit provides interchangeable diffusers for Profoto Softboxes, allowing photographers to adjust light softness. It is designed for studio and location shooters who need finer control over shadow quality. The components are built from high-quality fabrics and come in a labeled soft pouch. It is not compatible with RFi, OCF, or Clic Softbox ranges.
Sustained Light-Shaping Performance
The diffuser maintains even light distribution across the softbox surface during extended sessions. It reduces harsh shadows to create a natural look without hotspots. The fabric construction withstands repeated mounting and removal on set. The kit also functions as a neutral density filter for long exposures or wide apertures under bright conditions.
0.5 f-stop Diffusion Strength
This kit delivers a half-stop of additional diffusion beyond the standard 1 f-stop diffuser included with Profoto Softboxes. It provides a subtly softer quality for delicate lighting balance. Photographers requiring stronger diffusion or different stop values will need separate accessories. The specific 0.5 f-stop density is the defining specification for this kit.
