Transporting a hard beauty dish has always been a problem, with its cumbersome case and tendency to dent. Now however, you can use a collapsible, 24" OCF Beauty Dish from Profoto for the B10 OCF flash heads that takes up no more space than a folded umbrella. Light bounces off the included deflector and is directed outwards to edge of the beauty dish. Setup is a snap, literally. Just use the previously introduced, separately purchased OCF speed ring which accepts the rods before they are tensioned, then snap them into place for use. The beauty dish comes with a front diffuser for an even softer look as well as a carry bag. The dish is recommended for use only with Profoto heads that have an LED modeling lamp.

Profoto OCF Beauty Dish Reviews
My Go Anywhere Modifier
The Profoto OCF Beauty Dish (White, 24) is a testament to Profoto's commitment to quality and innovation, especially for photographers who are always on the move. As a portrait photographer based in the picturesque locales of Sedona and Flagstaff, I've had the pleasure of incorporating this beauty dish into my workflow, both in-studio and on location. My experience has led me to regard it as an indispensable tool in my photography kit. The compact and lightweight design of the Profoto OCF Beauty Dish is its most striking feature, making it incredibly easy to set up and transport. This aspect alone sets it apart from many alternatives on the market, providing a hassle-free experience for photographers who frequently transition between studio and location shoots. In my studio, I primarily use a Mola Demi for its distinctive lighting qualities. However, when on location, finding a suitable substitute that matches the Mola's performance yet offers greater portability has always been a challenge. After experimenting with several options, the Profoto OCF Beauty Dish has emerged as a clear winner. Its ability to produce soft, flattering light while maintaining ease of use and transportability makes it the perfect choice for location shoots. Pairing the beauty dish with a 3' Octa has proven to be a formidable combination, serving as a powerful 1-2 punch for my main lighting setup. This duo allows me to achieve a wide range of lighting effects, from soft, diffused light ideal for headshots, to more dynamic and dramatic lighting suited for senior portraits. The versatility and quality of light provided by these tools have significantly enhanced the quality of my work. For fellow photographers seeking a reliable, high-quality lighting solution for on-location shoots, I cannot recommend the Profoto OCF Beauty Dish enough. It has become my go-to equipment for headshots and senior portraits, consistently delivering exceptional results. Profoto has done a great job with this product, offering a blend of portability, ease of use, and outstanding lighting quality that can elevate any photographer's work. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic amateur, the Profoto OCF Beauty Dish is a worthy investment for your photography toolkit.
