The Challenge Photographers Face
Achieving precise edge lighting in tight studio spaces or creating controlled, narrow reflections on reflective surfaces demands a modifier that balances softness with directional control.
How the Profoto RFi Softbox 1x4' Solves It
This strip softbox delivers a 30x120cm beam that functions as a rim light for portraits, separating subjects from backgrounds with clean edge definition.
Product photographers use it to generate elongated reflections on glass, metal, and automotive surfaces without harsh transitions.
The dual-layer diffusion system (removable inner + outer panels) allows graduated softness adjustment based on shooting distance.Technical Specifications
Feature Details Dimension 1x4' (30 x 120cm) Diffusion Layers 2 (removable) Interior Coating Silver reflective lining Rod System Color-coded quick-assembly Speedring Compatibility RFi mount (sold separately) Flash Compatibility 20+ brands via speedring adapters Optional Accessories 50° softgrid, stripmask Real-World Benefits
The narrow profile fits wall-adjacent setups in confined shooting environments where rectangular softboxes won't physically fit.
Fashion and beauty photographers position it vertically for full-body gradient lighting or horizontally for dramatic tabletop shadowing.
The silver interior coating increases output intensity compared to white-lined modifiers, reducing flash power requirements by approximately 0.5–1 stop.Supplied with a labeled storage bag and heat-resistant fabric construction rated for continuous strobe use.
Requires separate RFi speedring purchase (verify your flash head compatibility before ordering).
