PROFOTO RFi Softbox 2x3'

Stop Fighting Unflattering Shadows in Headshot Sessions

Corporate headshot photographers face a recurring frustration: small light sources that create hard shadow transitions across faces, emphasizing skin texture and requiring excessive retouching.
The Profoto RFi Softbox 2x3' eliminates this problem with 1,620 square inches of diffused surface area—large enough to wrap light around facial contours while remaining compact for home studios and client offices.

Designed for Single-Subject Portrait Work

This rectangular softbox excels at three core applications that square and octagonal boxes cannot match:

• Window light emulation: The 2:3 aspect ratio mimics standard window proportions, producing authentic rectangular catchlights in subject's eyes for natural indoor portrait aesthetics.

• Rotational versatility: Mount horizontally for wide environmental portraits or flip vertically for full-length fashion shots without changing your lighting setup.

• Feathering control: Straight edges allow precise light direction by angling the box to graze your subject rather than flooding them directly.

Professional Assembly with Color-Coded Speedring Integration

Position 30–36 inches from your subject's face for optimal softness, where the apparent light source size creates gentle shadow gradations comparable to overcast daylight.
Compatible with any strobe brand through Profoto's RFi speedring adapter system (sold separately), from speedlights to 1,000-watt studio heads.

Q.What types of portraits work best with the 2x3' size?
A.The 2x3' softbox is optimized for single-subject headshots and three-quarter length portraits where the light source remains 30–48 inches from your subject. Professional photographers consider this the "ideal starting size" because it covers from face to mid-torso at typical working distances. Position it one foot from your subject for dramatic falloff with soft facial transitions, or three feet away for more even illumination across broader scenes. It also functions effectively as a fill light beneath the main key light, replacing reflectors when you need precise control over shadow density.​​

​​

Q.Can I use this softbox to recreate natural window light indoors?
A.Absolutely—the 2x3' rectangular shape specifically mimics standard residential window proportions, making it the preferred choice for authentic window-light aesthetics. Position it perpendicular to your subject with the front edge aligned with their face, allowing light to wrap from the side exactly as it would through a north-facing window. The rectangular catchlights this creates in eyes read as natural window reflections rather than obviously artificial studio lighting. For complete authenticity, mount it with the center slightly above head height so light falls downward at a natural angle.​​

​​

Q.Which flash brands are compatible with the RFi Softbox 2x3'?
A.This softbox requires an RFi speedring adapter matched to your specific flash mount. Profoto manufactures RFi speedrings for over 20 systems including Bowens, Elinchrom, Broncolor, Godox, Canon speedlights, Nikon speedlights, and native Profoto strobes. The speedring attaches to your flash head first, then the softbox rods insert into color-coded speedring sockets. This universal design works equally with 200-watt battery-powered units like the Profoto B10 and 1,000-watt AC studio heads.​​

​​

Q.How do I maintain the diffusion panels and interior coating?
A.The double-layered diffusion system includes a removable inner baffle secured with Velcro strips. Remove both diffusers after each multi-day shoot to prevent permanent creasing during storage. Spot-clean fabric with lukewarm water and mild detergent; avoid bleach or machine washing which degrades the silver reflective coating. Store in the included carry case with rods removed to prevent stress on Velcro attachment points. The recessed front design protects diffusers from accidental punctures during transport.​

Q.What warranty applies, and how quickly ships to Indian locations?
A.Profoto RFi Softboxes purchased through authorized Indian retailers like Srishti DigiLife include Profoto's manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty duration and specific coverage terms are administered by Srishti DigiLife—contact their customer service for claim procedures and replacement part availability for rods, diffusers, or speedring components. Shipping timeframes, courier partners, and delivery estimates vary by your location within India; check Srishti DigiLife's shipping policy for prepaid orders versus cash-on-delivery options and potential free shipping thresholds.​
