Profoto RFi Softbox 4x6'

The Full-Length Portrait Dilemma

Standard softboxes create uneven illumination in full-body shots—overexposing heads while underexposing feet—forcing photographers to sacrifice composition or make complex multi-light setups.
Small modifiers simply can't cover the vertical distance needed for fashion, dance, or athletic photography.

Why the Profoto RFi 4x6' Transforms Your Work

This 120x180cm rectangular softbox delivers uniform light distribution across an entire human figure, eliminating the hot spots and falloff issues that plague smaller modifiers.
The elongated 6-foot vertical dimension matches typical standing subject heights, creating magazine-quality even coverage from head to toe.

Directional Control That Rectangular Shapes Deliver

Unlike circular modifiers, the straight edges produce defined light falloff with crisp borders—essential when you need clean background separation or precise light placement.
Rotate between vertical orientation for full-body fashion work or horizontal mounting for group headshots and landscape compositions.

Q.Can I use this softbox for both vertical and horizontal shots?
A.Yes—rectangular softboxes mount in either vertical or horizontal orientation depending on your subject. Use vertical positioning for full-length fashion portraits to match human body proportions, or rotate horizontally for group headshots, product layouts, and wide compositions. The Profoto RFi Speedring rotates 360 degrees for instant orientation changes without remounting.​​

Q.What's the advantage of a 4x6 rectangular softbox over an octagonal one?
A.Rectangular softboxes produce directional light with defined straight-edge falloff, giving you crisp control over where light ends and shadows begin. This shape works better for full-body portraits since the 6-foot height covers standing subjects evenly from head to toe. Octagonal softboxes create round catchlights and gradual circular falloff—better for beauty close-ups but less efficient for vertical coverage.​​

Q.Does this include warranty coverage and shipping details?
A.Profoto provides manufacturer warranty protection against defects for all RFi softboxes. Shipping timelines and specific warranty terms vary by region—contact the retailer directly for delivery estimates to your location and current warranty registration details.​

Q.How should I maintain and clean this large softbox?
A.Wipe exterior fabric with a lightly dampened cloth to remove dust accumulation. Store interior diffuser panels flat or rolled (never folded) inside the included soft bag to prevent permanent creases. Keep the silver reflective interior dry and avoid touching it directly—oils from hands reduce reflectivity over time. Proper storage extends professional-grade fabric life through hundreds of shoots.​

Q.Why choose Profoto RFi over budget rectangular softboxes?
A.Profoto RFi modifiers use thicker, heat-resistant fabrics engineered to maintain structural rigidity under repeated assembly and disassembly. The deeper recessed depth (not found in cheap alternatives) provides superior feathering control and light directionality. Color-coded rod systems and precision Velcro attachments ensure consistent shape and light quality—critical for professional photographers billing clients for reliable results.​
