Profoto Octa Softbox Overview
Soft, Flattering Portrait Lighting
This softbox is ideal for fashion and portrait photographers. It creates an even, wrap-around quality of light and natural-looking catchlights in your subject's eyes. This essential circular-shaped modifier produces equally soft or hard edges on all of its sides, making it a great tool for beauty shots. The softbox's diffusion material is fully removable and interchangeable to meet your different requirements.
Heat-Resistant Fabric
Able to soften and diffuse light, the softbox is a classic modifier that features a heat-resistant design. It can safely support a variety of different types of fixtures such as flashes using halogen as continuous light up to 500W.
Widely Compatible
This softbox easily sets up without requiring an additional speed ring to mount to Profoto lights with 100mm heads. Use a separately available OCF adapter to make it compatible with Profoto A-Series flashes.
Additional Accessories
Control light spill using a separately available fabric softgrid. An edge mask is also available for this model. Optional accessories easily attach to the softbox via touch-fasteners.

Profoto Octa Softbox Reviews
Quality and confidence

Profoto is not cheap. But it folds flat in a flat bag. It has a clever pop open mechanism. I do a lot of on location shoots and anything that is less complicated to set up is a win. I am thoroughly impressed.
works fine. but very bulkiy and heavy

Functionally, it’s great and works fine. However, note that the head and attachment are extremely heavy and bulky. I’m not sure if the high cost is worth it compared to other options, although it’s very easy to open. It just doesn’t feel as light and portable as expected, so I returned it.
