Product Description
Profoto has introduced a line of softboxes with an all-in-one mount design that allows photographers to quickly shape their light. The 3' Octa Softbox sets up in seconds, offering an easy-to-use fold/unfold solution. Besides the benefit of speed, this octa softbox is made with a heat-resistant fabric and a reflective silver interior that maximizes your light source's output. The modifier has a convenient, integrated speed ring that suits a wide range of Profoto models including ProHead and B10 lights. A carry case is included for storage and transport.
Soft, Flattering Portrait Lighting
This 3' octa softbox is ideal for fashion and portrait photographers. It creates an even, wrap-around quality of light and natural-looking catchlights in your subject's eyes. This essential circular-shaped modifier produces equally soft or hard edges on all of its sides, making it a great tool for beauty shots. The octa softbox's diffusion material is fully removable and interchangeable to meet your different requirements.
Heat-Resistant Fabric
Able to soften and diffuse light, the octa softbox is a classic modifier that features a heat-resistant design. It can safely support a variety of different types of fixtures such as flashes using halogen lights up to 500W.
Widely Compatible
This octa softbox easily sets up without requiring an additional speed ring to mount select Profoto lights. It works with a wide range of ProHeads, B10s, and 100mm light heads. You can also make it compatible with Profoto A-Series flashes, which requires a separately available OCF adapter II.
- Fully compatible with B10, B10X, B10X Plus, B1, B1X, D1, D2, D2i, and all ProHeads with up to 500W modeling light
Additional Accessories
Users can pick up a separately available fabric softgrid, as well, to control light spill. An edge mask is also available for this model. Optional accessories easily attach to the octa softbox via touch-fasteners.

Ordered a lens on Friday. Item was delivered to me on Monday. Arrived in excellent condition in perfect working order. Not only did I pay a very reasonable price, but the shipping was free ! I will definitely do business with Pixel Connection again should the need arise !
I cannot say enough good things about Pixel Connection. I've bought multiple camera bodies - new and used - from them, along with several lenses, and they simply cannot be beat. Super helpful on the phone, good prices, and willing to work with customers to make the right solution happen. Pixel Connection is where I look first when buying camera equipment.
I am a cosmetic dentist so my photography is very important to me. I needed my camera set up for ease of use and custom settings. Jesse and Sam are so knowledgeable. Those two men helped me quickly and the Pixel store is open until 7 pm so I was able to get this done before my next working day! I also noticed Pixel has everything one needs for cameras, video and audio, social media, drones and even film! Check this store out for yourself for quality service and products!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My latest experience with ThePixelConnection was absolutely phenomenal. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to ensure I got the camera I needed, even when it seemed impossible.
The item I needed was out of stock everywhere else, but they didn’t stop there—they took the extra step to contact the manufacturer directly and managed to secure a new unit straight from the factory. Thanks to their incredible effort, I received my camera just in time for an important event.
What truly sets ThePixelConnection apart is the personal touch they bring to every interaction. Unlike my experiences with B&H—which, while efficient and resourceful, often feel very clinical and transactional—ThePixelConnection makes you feel like a genuinely valued customer.
I’ve worked with B&H for years and spent a small fortune with them, but if ThePixelConnection has what I need, they’re always my first choice. Their team is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for.
Matt, in particular, is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in photography and their product lineup. His guidance and dedication made the entire process effortless and stress-free.
If you’re looking for exceptional service from a team that truly values its customers, look no further than ThePixelConnection. They’ve earned my loyalty, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

“Quick and easy and with the option for in-store pickup.”

“I have pre-ordered two cameras with Pixel Connection and both times have been wonderful experiences. Staff have been kind and helpful both times. They provided updates weekly and even provided me an option to purchase a different color camera when it became available before my pre-ordered color. They were also prompt with their shipping once payment was completed!”
