Profoto OCF Softbox Reviews

ok, but save for the new pop out versions

These are fine for more 'old school' softboxes.. the newer ones with the similar Click system are so much easier to set up.. instant.. spend a bit more and get them and never look back; no adapter rings, no set up.

My main kit for locations.

I needed to lighten my load and these things are light and break down very small for location shoots. The quality of light is still great so it's been the best of both worlds. I use Godox strobes so I 3D printed some Bowens to Profoto speed ring adapters. Feeling much more portable with OCF modifiers overall.

question

Does the OCF Softbox work with the D1?
Asked by: Anonymous
While this softbox will fit the D1, it is not recommended since the modeling lamp is a 300 watt tungsten halogen type lamp and the since the softbox is not rated for heat.

question

Do you need to by a speedring in order to use the OCF softbox?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes you do - the OCF speed ring is lighter than the RFI speedrings, as are the OCF softboxes compared to the RFI softboxes but they are both compatible. But the whole point behind the B2 was to get the weight off the top of the light stand, as we all discovered how top heavy the B1's are on location

question

I just purchased this softbox and unfortunately, I bent the rods when trying to put it together. I didn't have the color-coded speedring and didn't read the directions closely enough on the speedring that I purchased. Do you know if replacement rods can be purchased? I've tried to bend them back into shape but haven't been successful so far and my softbox looks wonky.
