Profoto OCF Softbox 3’ Octa with Speedring

$250.00 /day

An ultra-lightweight, highly portable 3-foot (90cm) octagonal softbox from Profoto’s Off-Camera Flash (OCF) line, now available for premium gear rental in Hong Kong. Includes a dedicated lightweight OCF speedring, engineered to provide beautiful wrap-around soft light and circular eye reflections for fast-moving location portraits.

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 3’ Octa Softbox (90cm) represents the perfect scaling of beautiful, wrap-around portrait illumination into an ultra-portable location framework, making it a highly requested item for renting in Hong Kong. Designed explicitly for on-location portrait shooters, outdoor wedding photographers, and high-mobility HK production sets, this 3-foot octagonal modifier delivers a significantly larger, softer light distribution than the ultra-compact 2′ variant while entirely bypassing the heavy rigging and extended setup times associated with traditional studio modifiers.

When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial projects, efficiency is everything. The 8-sided octagonal geometry yields a stunning, omnidirectional pool of soft illumination that naturally flatters skin gradients and leaves a highly desirable, perfectly circular catchlight in your subject’s eyes. It beautifully replicates the soft quality of a classic studio beauty dish, but wraps down into a featherlight structure that can easily be managed on location. This premium Hong Kong rental package includes the native, patent-pending Profoto OCF Speedring, engineered with a quick-mount rubber collar and color-coded rod sockets for seamless, tool-free assembly by a single creator in less than a minute.

⚠️ Important Thermal Notice: This OCF softbox is custom-built exclusively for portable, battery-powered off-camera flashes utilizing LED modeling lights (such as the Profoto B10, B10 Plus, B1x, and B1 series). Due to its lightweight material composition, it is not heat-compatible with studio monolights or heads using hot high-wattage halogen modeling lamps (like the Profoto D2 1000W or Pro heads).

Applicable Scenarios:

On-Location HK Fashion & Bridal Portraits: Creates a dream-like, diffuse wrap-around light that highlights delicate fabric textures and wedding gowns out in the field, perfect for outdoor sets in locations like Sheung Wan or Sai Kung.
Run-and-Gun Location Headshots: Slips directly into standard gear cases and deploys rapidly on busy public streets or tight corporate offices in Central without drawing excessive crowd attention.
High-Angle Boom Pole Assignments: The featherlight build makes it effortless for an assistant to suspend high overhead on a lightweight extendable boom pole during fast street shoots.

Featherlight OCF Engineering: Built with highly durable, specialized thin materials that drastically strip down equipment load for traveling creators and local solo shooters.
Versatile 3-Foot Octagonal Footprint: 8-sided parabolic shape offers an optimal size-to-softness ratio, yielding gorgeous wrapping light and round eye reflections without the bulk of a full-size studio octa.
Fast-Track Color-Coded Setup: High-strength structural flex rods feature painted tips that snap instantly into matching color holes on the included OCF speedring.
Dual-Layer Removable Diffusion: Features an independent inner balance layer and outer diffusion sheet to smoothly scatter raw flash output and wipe out harsh hotspots.
Integrated OCF Rubber Speedring: Standardized rubber-collar ring insert pushes directly onto your portable strobe head without turning tedious locking knobs.
Slim Collapsible Profile: Folds flat effortlessly with rods remaining attached, sliding seamlessly into its dedicated light transport pouch for easy transit across Hong Kong.

Q: What is the main difference between an OCF softbox and an RFi softbox?
A: The primary differences are weight and heat tolerance. OCF softboxes are built with featherlight materials and quick-mount rubber speedrings optimized for portable location work, but can only handle the low heat of LED modeling lamps. RFi softboxes are heavier, heavily reinforced studio modifiers built to withstand the intense thermal output of high-wattage halogen modeling lamps.
Q: Can I mount this OCF softbox onto a Profoto D2 1000W monolight?
A: No. We strictly advise against using OCF modifiers on the Profoto D2 series or studio lamp heads featuring 300W/600W halogen modeling lamps. The continuous high heat can scorch or melt the lightweight OCF fabrics. For the D2, please rent our Profoto RFi 3′ Octa softbox instead.
Q: Which flash units are natively compatible with this OCF softbox bundle?
A: It perfectly mounts onto the Profoto B10, B10 Plus, B1x, and B1 series. It can also be paired with the Profoto A1, A2, or A10 series if you rent the auxiliary Profoto OCF Adapter.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
