A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Profoto OCF 2’x3’ Softbox Softgrid is an essential directional modification accessory designed to mount flawlessly onto your Profoto OCF 2’x3′ (60x90cm) Rectangular Softbox. While a portable 2’x3′ softbox is the golden standard modifier for casting beautiful, uniform light on location portraits and interviews, its diffuse face can still allow stray ambient light to bleed sideways across your set. This featherlight fabric grid (commonly known as an eggcrate) instantly restricts that side spill, narrowing the light output into a concentrated 50-degree directional beam.

By anchoring this softgrid onto the front hook-and-loop border of your OCF rectangular softbox, you maintain the signature flattering softness of a diffuse light source while gaining the dramatic directional precision of a hard reflector. It allows run-and-gun photographers and traveling videographers to isolate subjects sharply, creating faster shadow fall-off and moodier low-key spaces without adding unnecessary structural weight to a mobile setup. Crafted from durable, high-tension fabric tape, it collapses flat in seconds into an incredibly small footprint that slides easily into any camera backpack.

⚠️ Compatibility Note: This accessory is engineered exclusively for the lightweight Profoto OCF 2’x3′ Softbox framework. It is intended for location setups utilizing portable, battery-powered off-camera flashes (such as the Profoto B10, B10 Plus, B1x, and B1 series).

Focused 50-Degree Beam Directing: Compresses the portable rectangular softbox’s soft output down to a targeted 50° angle, sharply eliminating lateral light spill on location.
Instant Velcro Fastening: Features full-perimeter hook-and-loop strips that snap rapidly into the front lip of the OCF softbox shell.
Featherlight & Pocket-Sized: Constructed from high-flexibility fabric tape that folds down flat into a tiny footprint in seconds.
Preserves Core Color Profiles: Restricts stray ambient paths cleanly without introducing color temperature shifts or disrupting uniform diffusion softness.
Durable Geometric Cell Matrix: Precision-stitched square mesh cells resist sagging on set, ensuring consistent, predictable grid tracking.

(Note: This rental listing includes the fabric grid accessory only. It does not include the OCF 2’x3′ softbox fabric shell, diffusers, OCF speedrings, or flash units. Please rent those items separately as needed.)

Q: Can I use this softgrid on a standard Profoto RFi 2’x3′ studio softbox?
A: No. This grid is custom-cut to perfectly align with the exact dimensional footprint and hook-and-loop depth of the Profoto OCF 2’x3′ (60x90cm) softbox shell. The RFi studio softboxes utilize a separate proprietary grid architecture with different edge lips.
Q: Does using this grid cause a massive drop in my flash exposure?
A: Because the grid physically blocks off-axis stray light to form a directional beam, overall ambient light volume on set will decrease. However, your forward-facing on-axis exposure remains concentrated, punchy, and bright.
Q: Do I need to remove the softbox’s front white diffuser sheet to install the grid?
A: No. The grid is designed to mount directly over the external front diffusion sheet. The OCF softbox features a recessed outer lip specifically structured to hold both the front diffuser and this fabric grid concurrently.
