Profoto RFi Softbox 1x6'

Eliminate Harsh Shadows in Tight Shooting Spaces

Portrait and product photographers working in confined studios face a common challenge: creating soft, directional light without cluttering limited floor space.
The Profoto RFi Softbox 1x6' solves this with its narrow 12-inch width and 6-foot length, delivering controlled illumination that fits flush against walls or between equipment.

Engineered for Rim Lighting and Reflective Surfaces

This strip softbox excels at three specialized applications:

• As a rim light: Creates distinct edge separation that lifts subjects off backgrounds with soft-edged definition.

• For reflective product work: Ideal for automotive details, glassware, and wine bottles—producing elongated catchlights with gradual falloff rather than hard-edged hotspots.

• When rotated horizontally: Functions as an overhead hair light or background gradient source when mounted on a boom arm.

Universal Compatibility with Color-Coded Assembly

Compatible with any flash brand through Profoto's RFi speedring adapter system (sold separately), including speedlights via the RFi Speedlight Speedring.
The color-coded rod attachment system eliminates assembly guesswork—simply match rod colors to corresponding speedring sockets for tool-free setup in under 90 seconds.

Q.What flash heads work with the Profoto RFi Softbox 1x6'?
A.This softbox requires an RFi speedring adapter matched to your flash brand. Profoto manufactures speedring adapters for over 20 flash manufacturers—from Canon and Nikon speedlights to Godox, Elinchrom, Bowens, and Profoto strobes. Purchase the RFi Speedlight Speedring for portable flashes or brand-specific speedrings for studio heads. All adapters allow 360-degree softbox rotation for precise light shaping.​

Q.How does the 1x6' strip softbox differ from square or octagonal softboxes?
A.softboxes create narrow, directional light patterns ideal for three scenarios where standard softboxes underperform. First, rim lighting—the elongated shape wraps light along subject edges without spilling onto backgrounds. Second, reflective product photography—the long catchlight creates elegant highlights in curved surfaces like bottles and automotive panels. Third, confined shooting areas—the 12-inch width fits against walls where 3-foot octaboxes cannot.​​

​​

Q.What is the purpose of the recessed front and Softgrid accessory?
A.The recessed front design serves two functions. It maintains diffusion panel tension for consistent light quality across the 6-foot length, and creates a secure attachment channel for the optional Softgrid accessory. Adding a fabric Softgrid narrows the beam spread from approximately 120° to 50°, preventing light spill in multi-light setups and increasing contrast for dramatic edge lighting effects.​​

​​

Q.Does this softbox ship with assembly instructions or require tools?
A.The color-coded rod system eliminates instruction manuals. Each rod end matches a corresponding colored socket on the speedring—simply insert rods until they click into place, then attach the softbox fabric using integrated Velcro strips. No tools or force required; typical assembly time under 90 seconds. Disassembly reverses the process for compact storage in the included carrying case.​
