Grid 5° 180 mm

Transform Your Studio Lighting with Surgical Precision

Professional photographers demand absolute control over their lighting setup. The Grid 5° 180mm solves the critical challenge of unwanted light spill and lack of directional control that plague standard reflector systems.

This honeycomb grid creates an ultra-narrow 5-degree beam spread, allowing you to sculpt light with surgical precision. Whether you're crafting dramatic headshots, highlighting specific product details, or preventing lens flare in complex multi-light setups, this modifier transforms your Profoto Zoom Reflector into a pinpoint lighting instrument.

Technical Specifications

Key Applications

The 5-degree configuration provides the tightest beam available, making it ideal for rim lighting, hair separation, and creating that coveted spotlight effect that adds professional polish to any shoot.

• Used for increased control of light.
• Available as 5°/10°/20°.
• Used with the Zoom Reflector or Grid and Gel Holder 180 mm.
• Compact and high quality.

Q1: Is the Grid 5° 180mm compatible with my Profoto lighting system?
This grid is specifically designed for Profoto Zoom Reflectors and the Grid & Gel Holder 180mm system. It mounts directly onto the Zoom Reflector 2 without requiring additional accessories. For older Zoom Reflectors (circa 1990s), you'll need a barndoor with grid holder or grid and filter holder kit.

Q2: What's included with warranty and shipping for this grid?
The Grid 5° 180mm comes with Profoto's standard manufacturer warranty covering defects and craftsmanship. We offer secure packaging and fast shipping to protect your investment. Contact our support team for specific warranty terms and shipping options to your location.

Q3: How does the 5-degree grid compare to 10° and 20° alternatives?
The 5-degree grid creates the most concentrated beam, perfect for dramatic effects and precise highlighting. A 10-degree grid offers slightly wider coverage for medium-focus applications, while the 20-degree provides broader, less concentrated illumination. The 5-degree is specifically chosen when maximum light control and dramatic contrast are essential.

Q4: What maintenance does the honeycomb grid require?
The aluminum construction requires minimal maintenance. Gently clean with a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust from the honeycomb cells. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washing that could damage the delicate grid structure. Store in a protective case to prevent dents that could affect light quality.

Q5: Why choose Profoto grids over generic alternatives?
Profoto grids feature precision-engineered aluminum construction with consistent cell sizes that ensure even light distribution. The exact 5-degree beam angle is calibrated for professional applications, while the durable build withstands intensive studio use. Generic grids often have irregular cell sizes that create uneven lighting patterns and hotspots.
