Profoto 101211 OCF Softbox 2' Octa Portable

The Profoto OCF Softbox 2' Octa (model 101211) is a portable light modifier designed as part of Profoto's Off Camera Flash system, purpose-built for photographers who need quality light shaping on location without the bulk and weight of studio-grade modifiers. Its octagonal shape creates a soft, wrap-around quality of light that is particularly flattering for portraiture, producing naturally round catchlights that mimic the appearance of larger, more expensive lighting setups. The 2-foot diameter strikes a practical balance — large enough to meaningfully soften light for head-and-shoulders or three-quarter-length portraits, yet compact enough to transport easily to outdoor shoots or event venues.

Setup is streamlined through a color-coded rod system that takes the guesswork out of assembly, letting you get the modifier ready quickly when time on location matters. The fixed front diffuser provides even, consistent output without requiring you to attach and align a separate diffusion panel. It is important to note that this softbox is only compatible with Profoto B1 and B2 OCF flash heads, and it requires a Profoto OCF speed ring that must be purchased separately. For photographers committed to the Profoto ecosystem, the OCF Softbox 2' Octa is a reliable, travel-friendly modifier that delivers professional-quality soft light wherever you shoot.
