Q1: Will this strip softbox fit my DSLR with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens attached?

This is a flash modifier, not a camera bag. The Profoto OCF Softbox 1x3' attaches to Profoto off-camera flash heads (B1X, B2, B1) via the OCF Speedring (sold separately). It creates directional lighting for your subject, not equipment storage. For camera bags that accommodate DSLRs with 70-200mm lenses attached, explore our camera backpack collection.

Q2: What warranty and shipping options are available for Profoto products in India?

Profoto equipment purchased from authorized dealers like Srishti Digi Life includes manufacturer's warranty coverage. Shipping typically processes within 2-3 business days to major Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai. For specific warranty terms and shipping rates to your location, contact our support team or check the product page during checkout.

Q3: How does the 1x3 strip softbox compare to the 2x3 rectangular or 2' Octa softbox?

The 1x3 strip creates asymmetric lighting—soft along its 3-foot length but more directional from the 1-foot width, making it ideal for rim/edge lighting. A 2x3 rectangular softbox provides broader, more even coverage suited for full-torso portraits or mimicking window light. The 2' Octa produces round catchlights and omnidirectional soft light, best for beauty and fashion headshots. Choose based on your lighting pattern: strips for separation, rectangles for versatility, octas for natural-looking portraits.

Q4: What's the best way to clean and maintain my Profoto softbox?

Spot clean the diffusion panels with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap—avoid machine washing. After each use, ensure rods are fully dry before folding to prevent mildew in humid climates. Store in the included carry bag away from direct heat sources. The fixed front diffuser cannot be removed on OCF models, so handle carefully during transport. For longevity, always collapse the softbox by releasing tension on rods (push downward before pulling out) to prevent fabric stress on rod pockets.

Q5: Why choose Profoto OCF over other budget strip softbox brands?

Profoto's color-coded rod system enables sub-60-second setup compared to 3-5 minutes for generic softboxes. The heat-resistant OCF fabric safely handles 250Ws continuous LED modeling lights, unlike cheaper alternatives that yellow or warp. Profoto's speedring mounts rotate 360° for precise feathering control, and the brand's Air Remote system integrates wireless TTL and HSS up to 1/8000s—features absent in budget modifiers that rely on manual-only triggers. For professional reliability on paid shoots, Profoto's build quality justifies the investment.
