Profoto Bounce Card

Achieve Professional Directional Lighting with Effortless Control

Professional photographers face the challenge of creating soft, directional light that enhances their subjects without sacrificing flash power. The Profoto A1 Bounce Card solves this by combining bounce lighting techniques with direct fill, delivering a sophisticated lighting solution that maintains 80% of your flash's original power.

Unlike standard diffusers that significantly reduce output, this bounce card creates soft light with directional feeling by allowing photographers to bounce flash off surfaces while simultaneously directing fill light onto subjects. The smart magnetic mount system enables instant attachment and removal, making it essential for event photographers, portrait sessions, and wedding photography where lighting conditions change rapidly.

3. How does the Bounce Card compare to the Dome Diffuser for portrait work?

The Bounce Card maintains 80% flash power while creating directional soft lighting, whereas the Dome Diffuser provides 360-degree diffusion with greater power loss. For portraits requiring facial sculpting and dimension, the Bounce Card excels. For broad, even coverage, the Dome Diffuser works better.
4. What's the proper maintenance routine for the Bounce Card?

Clean using mild soap and warm water with microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. The magnetic mount contacts should be cleaned with alcohol-dampened cotton swabs to maintain proper electrical connections. Store in the included microfiber pouch when not in use.
5. What makes Profoto's system worth the premium over alternatives like Godox modifiers?

Profoto's magnetic mount system offers instant attachment compared to velcro or clip systems. The build quality and light consistency are superior, with professional reliability for paid shoots. While alternatives exist, Profoto's ecosystem integration and consistent color temperature justify the investment for working professionals.
