Light-control mask for strip softboxes
The Profoto Strip Mask 1x4 ft narrows the light spread from a compatible Profoto Softbox Strip to a slimmer highlight. Photographers who need precise rim lighting or selective subject emphasis use it to shape output without flags or gobos. Velcro edges secure the mask to the recessed front of the softbox in seconds. It is built from durable fabric for repeated studio or location work.
Passive accessory with no thermal load
The mask adds no power draw, fan noise or heat because it contains no electronics or moving parts. It simply clips onto the softbox front and remains at ambient temperature during shoots. No cooling considerations or electrical capacity are required. Handling stays silent, so it never interferes with audio recording on set.
Replaces improvised flags or broader softbox output
Photographers currently taping cinefoil or using wider unmasked strips gain a repeatable, tool-free solution. The upgrade is worth it when consistent narrow highlights are needed across multiple sessions. It does not fit RFi, OCF or Clic softboxes, so owners of those ranges cannot use this mask.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the 1 x 4-Feet Strip Mask to my Profoto Softbox Strip, and what is the step people often miss?
Align the Velcro strips on the mask with the recessed front of the Softbox Strip and press firmly; the step often missed is ensuring the Velcro is fully seated across the entire width so the mask does not sag or leak light.
What part of the Strip Mask will need replacement first with regular studio use?
The Velcro attachment loops are the first components to wear; repeated fastening and unfastening reduces their grip, so keep the surfaces clean and replace the mask when the hold feels loose.
What limits the strip mask's performance during a long shoot with continuous high-output modelling lamps?
Heat buildup on the high-quality fabric is the first limit; extended exposure to hot modelling lamps can degrade the material or adhesive, so allow cooling breaks during sustained high-power sessions.
