PROFOTO RFi Softbox 4' Octa

The Challenge Every Portrait Photographer Faces

Harsh lighting creates unflattering shadows and unnatural reflections that ruin otherwise perfect shots.
Rectangular softboxes produce distracting square catchlights that instantly reveal studio lighting.

Why the Profoto RFi 4' Octa Delivers

This 120cm octagonal softbox solves both problems by creating soft, wraparound illumination with natural circular catchlights that mimic sunlight.
The eight-sided shape produces lifelike eye reflections that elevate fashion, beauty, and portrait work beyond standard rectangular modifiers.

Engineered for Precision Control

The deeper recessed design gives you precise feathering capabilities—directing light exactly where you need it while minimizing spill.
Double-layered diffusers paired with a highly reflective silver interior balance softness with output efficiency.

Q.Which Profoto lights work with this octa softbox?
A.This RFi Softbox requires a Profoto RFi Speedring adapter (sold separately, SKU 100501) that fits all Profoto flash heads including B10, D2, and Pro-Head series. The speedring rotates 360 degrees and features heat-resistant, color-coded sockets for quick assembly.​

Q.How does an octagonal softbox differ from rectangular modifiers?
A.Octagonal softboxes create round catchlights in your subject's eyes that appear more natural than rectangular reflections. While both shapes produce similar light quality at equal surface areas, the octa's circular form mimics natural sunlight, making it the preferred choice for beauty and portrait photography.​

Q.Does this include warranty and what are shipping options?
A.All Profoto equipment comes with manufacturer warranty coverage for defects. Shipping options vary by location—contact us for delivery timelines to your area and current warranty terms specific to your region.​

Q.How do I maintain and clean this softbox?
A.Wipe the exterior fabric with a damp cloth to remove dust. Keep interior diffusers dry and free from debris by storing in the included soft bag when not in use. Never use harsh chemicals on the silver reflective interior. Regular care extends the professional-grade fabric lifespan for years of daily shoots.​

Q.What makes Profoto RFi softboxes different from budget alternatives?
A.Profoto RFi modifiers use thicker, heat-resistant fabrics with precision-engineered construction that maintains shape under repeated assembly. The deeper recessed design provides superior light control compared to shallow budget octaboxes. Color-coded assembly systems and durable Velcro attachments ensure consistent, professional results—critical for photographers who depend on reliable equipment.​
