Profoto OCF Softbox 2' Octa (60 cm)

The Ultimate Portable Modifier for Stunning, Natural Portraits

When it comes to portrait photography on location, the octagonal softbox is widely considered the gold standard. The Profoto OCF Softbox 2' Octa takes this beloved, flattering shape and scales it down into a brilliantly compact, featherweight modifier designed specifically for the fast-moving, traveling photographer.

Part of Profoto's Off-Camera Flash (OCF) ecosystem, this 2-foot (60 cm) modifier delivers the beautiful, wrapping light of a much larger studio softbox without the crushing weight or cumbersome setup. Its circular profile creates incredibly smooth shadow transitions and natural-looking reflections in your subject's eyes, making it an absolute staple for wedding, editorial, and location portrait photographers who need to move fast but refuse to compromise on light quality.

This is a dealer demo, new open-box, and priced accordingly.

Why You'll Love This Modifier

• The Perfect Catchlight: Because of its 8-sided shape, this softbox creates beautifully round, natural reflections (catchlights) in your subject's eyes. This perfectly mimics the look of the sun or a round window, avoiding the artificial, squared-off catchlights created by traditional rectangular softboxes.

• Featherweight Construction: Built exclusively for battery-powered location flashes (like the B10 or B1X), the OCF line utilizes specialized lightweight fabrics and rods. This drastically reduces the weight on your light stands, keeping your setup agile and preventing it from acting like a heavy sail on a windy location.

• Lightning-Fast Setup: Say goodbye to wrestling with high-tension metal rods. When paired with the OCF Speedring (sold separately), the custom color-coded rods snap into place effortlessly, easily cutting your assembly and tear-down time in half compared to traditional studio softboxes.

• Beautifully Soft Light: Despite its compact size, it features a highly reflective silver interior paired with both a removable inner baffle and a front diffuser. This dual-diffusion system guarantees an incredibly smooth, even spread of light with zero harsh hotspots.

• Optional Grid Control: The recessed front lip is perfectly sized to accept the optional Profoto OCF Softgrid Octa 2' (50°), allowing you to immediately tunnel the light, increase contrast, and prevent spill onto your background when shooting in tight spaces.

Technical Specifications

Things to Note

It is crucial to understand that this softbox requires the Profoto OCF Speedring, which is sold separately. You cannot mount this modifier directly to your flash straight out of the box.

Additionally, because this is an OCF (Off-Camera Flash) modifier, its lightweight fabrics are engineered exclusively to handle the cool operating temperatures of flashes equipped with LED modeling lights (like the B10, B10X, B2, or B1X). You must not use this softbox on traditional AC-powered studio strobes (like the D2 or ProHeads) that utilize hot 500W halogen continuous bulbs, as the intense heat will melt and ruin the fabric.
