Profoto RFi Octa Softbox 3' Reviews

Great Product

By Jason
Rated 5 out of 5

I have several of the OCF modifiers and really like them although the quality is much better with RFI. If you are looking for on location OCF may be a better option but for in studio there is no comparison to RFI when it comes to quality.

Beautiful light

Color coded for easy assembly. Beautiful light shaping. Light weight for street shoots.

question

Will the older Profotl speedrings for the RF boxes work with this?
Asked by: David G.
Due to the new design and different rod diameter of the rods included with the Profoto RFi softboxes, you must use a Profoto RFi speedring with a Profoto RFi softbox. Other speedrings will not be compatible with this softbox.

Would love to know the difference between the RFI and the OFC soft boxes. ?
Asked by: CHINA
The RFi are our most popular softboxes and are ideal for both studio and on-location work. OCF Softboxes are used with our off-camera flashes and are super-portable and lightweight which makes them perfect for remote location shooting.

Can you use a1x speed light with this modifier?
Asked by: William
Not out of the box. However Profoto does make a bracket that holds 1-4 speedlights and also has a RFI speedring fastened to it. B&H sells it as does the Pofoto site.
