Overview

The Profoto Clic Barndoor (Model 101306) is a dedicated light-shaping accessory built for Profoto's A-series on-camera flashes. Using Profoto's magnetic Clic mounting system, the barndoor snaps onto the flash head instantly, eliminating the fumbling with adapters or friction fits that can slow down a shoot. Once attached, four individually adjustable doors let you control exactly where the light falls — whether you need a clean, narrow beam for an accent light, a vignette effect on a background, or an asymmetric spread that keeps light off one side of the frame.

A key design advantage is the flat stacking surface, which lets you layer additional Clic accessories — such as color-correction gels or honeycomb grids — directly on top of the barndoor. This means you can combine directional control with color or beam-narrowing effects without swapping modifiers between shots. Built to Profoto's standards, the Clic Barndoor is compact enough to slip into a pocket or flash pouch, adding serious creative control to an A-series flash kit without adding significant weight or bulk.

Key Features

Created to be used with all A-series flashes, the Clic Barndoor allows you to control the spread of light more precisely by swinging one or more of the doors into the beam.

Perfect for creating a clean and narrow shape, vignettes on the subject or background, or an asymmetric spread of light.
