Profoto's most recent lighting accessories are the latest additions to its popular Clic system. In classic Clic fashion, these add-ons utilize magnetic rings to mount all Profoto A-series flashes with ease and will add new flair to your next shoot.
Included in the accessory lineup is the OCF Adapter II, a refreshed adapter for the Clic series that enables users to utilize Profoto's impressive fleet of OCF light-shaping and modifying tools. Featuring a streamlined cylindrical design with a built-in magnetic mount, the OCF Adapter II easily snaps onto A-series Profoto flashes and includes its own carrying case.
Attach any of the 5 new filters from Profoto's Clic Color Correction Kit to the adapter to balance your light output or experiment with beautiful color effects. Including Full CTO, Half CTO, Quarter CTO, Quarter CTB, and Half Plus Green filters, this filter kit spans a variety of hues to add untold panache to your next shoot.
If you are looking to offset blue-hued shooting conditions, Profoto additionally offers the CTO Kit. Featuring filters in Full CTO, Half CTO, and Quarter CTO, these three amber-tinted filters can be applied to produce “golden hour” and other warm lighting conditions. Sporting magnetic Clic mounting, they can be stacked with other Clic modifiers such as the color correction kit.
Of course, no filter fleet would be complete without snazzy color effects, and Profoto has you covered with its Color Effects Kit. Featuring a Rolodex of psychedelic gels, users can enjoy experimenting with colors ranging from Peacock Blue to Rose pink. This kit includes seven unique colors to choose from and can be used with other flat surface Clic modifiers for virtually endless color combinations.
Profoto has plenty of other Clic accessories if gels aren't your jam. Its new Grid Kit, for example, can be applied to A-series flashes for a more pronounced and narrowed beam spread. Tack on the 20° grid to reduce stray light for a defined cast and refine the spread even more by adding the 10° grid.
Similarly, Profoto's new Snoot can be used to narrow your flash's beam spread for more selective lighting applications. This nifty soft modifier tunnels light in a sharp cast with a diameter that decreases as the flash is moved closer. Producing no spill, this accessory is well suited for location shooting and is collapsible for an easy carry if you need to travel.
Rounding out this release is Profoto's Barndoor, a light-shaping staple with the luxurious convenience of magnetic Clic mounting. Sporting that classic four-way design, this accessory allows users to shape light in any direction with its 360° rotation. Alternate between a 180° beam flood or a 10° sliver with ease and add any of the other accessories for nearly endless lighting applications.
With included carrying cases for each kit, this release promises to be compact and easy to bring on-the-go. As these new products join Profoto's already robust fleet of Clic lighting accessories, we are looking forward to expanding our creative potential even further.
