Profoto Softlight Beauty Dish Overview

The 20.5" Profoto White Softlight Beauty Dish Reflector is designed to give a wide, uniform, and softlight as well as shadow definition when mounted to a Profoto flash head. The gradual fall-off makes it perfect for close-up beauty photography.

The center disc that blocks out the direct light can be replaced by a semi-opaque opal glass disc to create a center hot spot which also eliminates a donut-hole effect in specular highlights.
Each reflector can be supplemented by a honeycomb grid to create soft, toned-down edge-lighting.
The Softlight Grid accessory yields 10° coverage for more directed light.

The beauty dish is a must-have if love that middle point between hard light and soft light. It's ideal for fashion portraits and beauty photography. Quality is great, just a little prone to scratch in the back. I use it all the time with my D1's.

Great light quality but over price

Profoto Silver Beauty Dish

Great light modifier as expected. Well built, but too expensive - the standard Profoto formula. If you can part with the cash, you won't be sorry. Two things of interest are (1) As between the silver dish or white dish, the silver produces harder / edgier light BUT with the addition of a diffusion sock, it calms that light into a much softer look. So, with the silver dish, one can bring out both hard and soft light. The white dish produces lovely soft light....but can't produce the harder, edgier look of the silver. Silver dish = better value. (2) I wasn't sure if I needed to purchase an extra Profoto speed ring in order to be able to affix the dish on to the B1 strobe. Turns out, you do not as the dish has the rubber mount on the back as part of the dish itself. Nice! Saves an additional $$expense. Gave four stars only because of the price. This dish is super nice, but for almost $400, I think Profoto takes advantage of those (me) who tolerate such expense because of our view that the B1 and/or B2 strobes are superior to other choices.

Absolutely LOVE!

I use all the time for business head shots and pageant head shots. I just LOVE the color I get. Now I do use with the diffusion glass, and a glass dome head on my D1....I kept adding them one at a time, but all 3 is the magic formula for me! I bought a cheaper sock and it changes the color, so I will end up purchasing the Profoto brand next.

Top quality

I use this product to take headshots. It's great because the punch is of the light is subdued w/ only a hint of specular highlight on shiny faces even w/out the optional sock. It's expensive.

Will this fit on ProMaster PL400?

That flash uses a Bowens type mount and the beauty dish is for Profoto lights only.This link is for a beauty dish kit, <a href= http://bhpho.to/1ArwkRo. target= _blank >http://bhpho.to/1ArwkRo.</a> And you will need this speedring adapter for to attach it to your strobe, <a href= http://bhpho.to/1dOY6pe target= _blank >http://bhpho.to/1dOY6pe.</a>

question

Will this beauty dish fit the Profoto RFi Speedlight Speedring?
Asked by: Beau P.
As other's have answered... the Beauty Dish (aka the Softlight Reflector) already has a built in mount, so it would not be possible to use it with a Speedlight Speedring.

question

Can this beauty dish fit on a profoto B2 light?
Asked by: Jeffrey G.
Yes, but it will be front heavy! The B2 has such a small body, it would be hard to tilt unless you were on a boom, the bottom of dish will hit lightstand. I also swapped out for the glass reflector plate, so I'd be afraid it would tip over and break.
