Light Shaping Tools

 

Light Shaping Tools are what makes Profoto really shine. More than 120 tools are available – each with its own distinct effect on light characteristics, distribution and output. Most of the tools are equipped with Profoto’s unique clamp mechanism, which makes them easy to mount and allows you to shape the light by simply sliding the reflector back and forth on the head.

Here are some of the most popular light shaping tools:

 

A Classic Among Profoto Light Shaping Tools

 

 

It is one of the most versatile reflectors available, capable of providing the light of a normal reflector, a wide-angle reflector and everything in between, thanks to its unique zoom function. The integrated grid holder and a number of optional accessories expand its already impressive versatility even further.

• Light spread: 105° at position 10, 75° at position 7 and 35° at position 6.
• Output at 2m with 2400 Ws @ ISO 100: f/45.1 at zoom position 7

OCF Beauty Dish 2’ White

 

 

The OCF Beauty Dish is a collapsible and more portable version of the classic Profoto Softlight Reflector.

It creates a creamy yet crisp light, often referred to as a “beauty light.” When it comes to bringing out the beauty of your subjects, it is second to none.

Since it is tailor-made for on-location photography, the OCF Beauty Dish is compact, lightweight and easy to use. High-quality fabrics and patent-pending design allows you to snap it onto the speedring without having to bend and fumble with the rods.

• Creates a classic beauty light.
• Collapsible and lightweight.
• Patent-pending design for fast and easy setup.
• Made with high-quality fabrics.
• Comes with deflector plate, optional diffuser and carrying bag.
• Also available in silver for a “crisper” light.

OCF Soft Box Octa 2’

 

 

OCF Softboxes are softboxes tailor-made for fast and easy on-location photography.

Like any other softbox, OCF Softboxes create a soft and flattering light. But unlike any other softbox, they are made in a unique material that is both lightweight and easy to fold and unfold. Add to that the fixed diffuser, the patent-pending speedring and the color-coded rods. Put all that together, and you have a softbox that is faster and easier to set up than any other on the market.

 

OCF Snoot

 

 

The OCF Snoot is a compact and portable Light Shaping Tool that drastically reduces the light spread from your off-camera flash.

The effect is a crisp and direct light with almost no spill light. The light has a beautiful, round shape, which can be used as hair light or any other application when only a small area needs to be illuminated.

The OCF Snoot is incredibly easy to use. You just snap it on the front of your off-camera flash, and in a second, you are good to go.

The OCF Snoot is made of a strong glass fibre that makes it lightweight and extremely durable.

 

Air TTL

 

 

The Off-Camera Flash system is tied together by the wireless radio system AirTTL.

AirTTL offers full TTL operation with both Canon and Nikon cameras. Canon shooters attach the Air Remote TTL-C to their camera’s hot shoe, Nikon shooters the Air Remote TTL-N. Then point and shoot, and the off-camera flash will automatically adjust its light output to provide you with the perfect exposure. It is as easy as it sounds.

 

Profoto Air Remote

 

 

Control the shoot from the palm of your hand.

The standard Air Remote can be used to wirelessly sync and control your Profoto Off-Camera Flash from any camera that has a hot shoe.

Unlike the Air Remote TTL-C (for Canon) and the Air Remote TTL-N (for Nikon), the Air Remote does not provide TTL functionality. But the sensation of shooting without cords and without restraints is the same.

The impressive operating range of 300 m (1,000 ft) is also the same.

Note that the Air Remote uses the world’s fastest system for remote radio sync and control, allowing you to shoot with less delay and higher reliability.

Features

• The world’s fastest system for remote radio sync and control, fast enough to match a sync cable
• Unbeaten operating range of 300 m/1,000 ft.
• Open frequency band (2.4 GHz)
• Approved for worldwide use
• Small and handy
• Can be used to sync any flash brand
