Product Description
Profoto 3' Octa Softbox with White Interior
Profoto expands its popular line of all-in-one quick softboxes with the introduction of this 3-foot Octa Softbox, now featuring a white interior instead of the traditional silver. This update provides a softer, more diffused light quality, ideal for portrait and fashion photography. Built with convenience and durability in mind, the softbox offers fast setup, compatibility with a range of Profoto lights, and includes a carry case for easy transport.
Soft, Balanced Lighting with White Interior
Unlike silver-lined modifiers that create punchier light with more contrast, the white interior of this softbox delivers even, natural illumination. It smooths out shadows and enhances skin tones, making it a perfect choice for creating studio-quality light in any location.
Ideal for Portraits & Beauty Work
The octagonal shape provides wraparound light with pleasing catchlights in the eyes—ideal for headshots, fashion, and beauty photography. The soft, even spread helps reduce harsh shadows and highlights. Its removable and interchangeable diffusion fabric gives photographers control over the level of softness, depending on the shooting scenario.
Heat-Resistant Build for Versatility
Crafted with heat-resistant materials, this softbox can handle continuous halogen lights up to 500W, in addition to flash heads. It’s a reliable modifier whether you're in the studio or on location.
Built-In Speed Ring for Quick Setup
Thanks to its integrated all-in-one speed ring, this softbox mounts directly to compatible Profoto heads without additional adapters.
Compatible with:
- B10, B10X, B10X Plus
- B1, B1X
- D1, D2, D2i
- All ProHeads with up to 500W modeling lights
With the optional OCF Adapter II, it also supports Profoto A-Series flashes.
Expandable with Optional Accessories
The white interior softbox remains fully compatible with Profoto's silver softbox accessories, including:
- Optional fabric softgrid for more directional control
- Edge mask for shaping light edges
- Additional diffuser kits for further softening
All accessories attach easily using touch-fasteners.
Portable & Efficient
Lightweight and easy to fold, this softbox is a go-to solution for professionals needing speed, quality, and flexibility in a light-shaping tool. The included carry case makes storage and transportation simple and efficient.
