Overview

The Profoto Clic Gel Holder brings color gelling into the same magnetic accessory ecosystem as Profoto's other A-series modifiers. It mounts directly to the flash head via the Clic magnetic system — contact, click, done — and removes just as cleanly when you want to return to unfiltered white light. The practical impact is significant for working photographers: matching ambient tungsten with a CTO stack, dropping a quarter-CTB onto a fill flash for an evening exterior, or throwing a colored accent gel without hunting for tape mid-shoot. The included stainless steel cutting template standardizes gel cuts across your stock so every gel seats flush in the holder, sealing the edges and keeping the output color pure without stray white light contaminating the effect.

This modifier is built for photographers invested in the Profoto A-series ecosystem — A1, A1X, A10 — who want fast, repeatable color control without friction. The stackable design is the other key capability: mount over a Clic Grid for directional colored light, or seat onto the OCF Adapter II when bringing gels into a larger softbox configuration. The protective case matters on location; cut gels crease and tear easily in a loose bag, and having them stored flat keeps them usable across multiple shoots. Note that gels are not included — source Lee Filters, Rosco, or any standard theatrical gel stock and cut to the template before your first shoot. For photographers who want color gelling to feel like part of the A-series system rather than a workaround, the Clic Gel Holder delivers exactly that.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Magnetic Clic mount snaps directly to A-series flashes in under a second — no velcro strips, gaffer tape, or accessory shoe required
  • Stackable over Clic Grids and onto the OCF Adapter II, enabling combined modifier setups without removing the gel
  • Stainless steel cutting template produces consistent, repeatable gel cuts that seat flush in the holder with minimal light leak
  • Works with any standard theatrical or correction gel material — not locked to proprietary Profoto-branded gels
  • Protective carrying case keeps cut gels and the holder organized and undamaged in a packed kit bag

👎 Cons

  • Gels are not included — the holder is non-functional until you source and cut gels separately, adding cost and prep time
  • Clic magnetic mount is exclusive to the Profoto A-series; incompatible with B-series, D-series, or any non-Profoto flash
  • Cutting gels to fit requires scissors or a craft knife and the included template — it is not a self-contained, ready-to-use solution out of the box
  • No built-in diffusion — gels used alone produce hard, colorized output; pairing with a softbox requires a separate Clic modifier
  • The holder and case add bulk to a kit bag when carrying multiple Clic accessories for a multi-light setup

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The holder ships without gels. You will need to source color gels separately and cut them using the included stainless steel template before the holder is functional. Budget for gels when pricing out this accessory.
The Clic Gel Holder is compatible with Profoto A-series flashes, including the A1, A1X, and A10. It uses the Profoto Clic magnetic mount system, which is exclusive to the A-series line — it is not compatible with B-series, D-series, or third-party flash heads.
Yes. The holder is designed to stack — it can be mounted over Clic Grids for directional colored light, and it mounts onto the OCF Adapter II when integrating gels into a larger modifier configuration. Stacking order matters: the gel holder should typically sit between the flash and any diffusion modifier.
Any gel material that cuts to the stainless steel template size will work. Standard theatrical gels from Lee Filters, Rosco, or similar suppliers are fully compatible — the holder is not locked to proprietary Profoto gel stock.
The template produces a consistent cut that seats the gel cleanly within the holder frame, minimizing light leak at the edges. Using sharp scissors or a craft knife against the template edge produces the best results — rough cuts can leave gaps that contaminate the output color.
