Overview

The Profoto Clic Dome (101230) is a compact light-shaping tool designed to diffuse the output of compatible Profoto on-camera flashes. It attaches via Profoto's magnetic Clic mount system, snapping securely onto the flash head without any mechanical latches or adapters. Once in place, the polypropylene dome spreads and softens the flash output, reducing harsh shadows and creating more flattering illumination for portraits, events, and general on-the-go photography. The result is light that is both soft and crisp — diffused enough to smooth skin tones and reduce specular highlights, yet defined enough to maintain dimension in the subject.

The Clic Dome is compatible with the Profoto C1 Plus, A1X, and A1 flash units. Its compact footprint makes it practical to leave attached or toss in a pocket, and the magnetic mount means switching between bare flash and diffused light takes less than a second. The dome does reduce overall flash power due to diffusion, so photographers working at distance or in bright ambient conditions may need to increase flash output to compensate. For those already invested in Profoto's portable flash ecosystem, the Clic Dome is a quick and effective way to improve light quality without carrying larger modifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Clic Dome is compatible with the Profoto C1 Plus, A1X, and A1 flashes. It uses the magnetic Clic mount system specific to these models.
It uses Profoto's magnetic Clic mount, so you simply bring it close to the flash head and it snaps into place. No twisting, locking, or adapters required.
The Clic Dome diffuses the flash output into softer, more evenly spread light, reducing harsh shadows and hot spots while maintaining a crisp quality that avoids the overly flat look of larger diffusers.
The dome is made from polypropylene, which is lightweight and resistant to cracking. However, its relatively small size and magnetic attachment mean it should be stored carefully to avoid losing it in a gear bag.
