Profoto OCF Softbox (1 x 3′)

The Profoto OCF Softbox (1×3′) is a compact strip-style light modifier designed for Profoto’s OCF (Off-Camera Flash) system, giving photographers a soft, elongated light source well suited to accent, rim, and hair lighting in portrait and product photography. Its narrow strip shape distinguishes it from square or rectangular softboxes, making it a practical choice when a controlled, directional light source is preferable to broader, more diffuse illumination.

The softbox measures 1×3 feet, a compact strip size suited to secondary or accent lighting roles within a multi-light setup, such as adding a defined rim light along a subject’s edge or a controlled hair light, rather than serving as a primary key light for broader subject illumination. Its narrow footprint also makes it easier to position in tighter studio spaces or around other lighting equipment compared to a larger softbox.

As part of Profoto’s OCF modifier lineup, the softbox is designed to mount directly to compatible Profoto OCF flash heads and monolights without requiring a separate speed-ring adapter, simplifying setup and ensuring a secure, precise fit consistent with Profoto’s modifier ecosystem. Construction includes an internal diffusion layer along with a removable outer front diffusion panel, working together to soften and spread light evenly across the face of the softbox, reducing hot spots and producing a smooth gradient of light output.

The softbox’s collapsible design allows it to fold down for storage and transport, consistent with Profoto’s broader OCF system, which emphasizes portability and quick setup for photographers moving between locations or studio setups. Because Profoto’s OCF modifiers are designed to integrate directly with compatible Profoto lighting equipment, photographers should confirm this softbox’s compatibility with their specific Profoto flash or monolight before use.
