Profoto RFi 1’x4’ Softbox with Speedring
$250.00 /day
A premium 1’x4′ (30x120cm) strip softbox from Profoto’s Rectangular/Front Intense (RFi) line. Includes a dedicated Profoto-mount RFi speedring, ideal for clean edge lighting, hair lighting, and long, elegant product catchlights.
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 RFi 1’x4’ Softbox (30x120cm) is a professional-grade strip light modifier designed for precise control over directional light spread. Part of Profoto’s acclaimed RFi (Recessed Front Intense) line, this softbox is constructed with a deeper shape and a recessed front lip, drastically reducing side spill and allowing photographers to place light exactly where it is needed on set.
The narrow, elongated strip geometry makes it an indispensable tool for fashion, portrait, and commercial product photography. It features a highly reflective silver interior coating that maximizes output power while preserving a crisp, punchy contrast. Paired with its high-quality dual-layer internal and external diffusers, it transforms raw strobe output into a beautifully soft, uniform beam with an incredibly smooth gradient fall-off. This rental package includes the native Profoto RFi Speedring, giving you a complete, plug-and-play solution ready to mount directly onto your Profoto D2, B1, B1x, B10, or acute lamp heads.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Rim & Edge Lighting: Perfect for placing directly behind or beside a model to create a striking outline highlight that separates the subject cleanly from a dark background.
-
Commercial Product & Bottle Photography: Creates long, perfectly straight, continuous specular highlights on reflective surfaces like glassware, wine bottles, and automotive details.
-
High-Fashion & Beauty: Excellent as a key or fill source when executing dramatic, high-contrast editorial layouts that require narrow light bands.
-
Hair & Accent Lighting: Easily suspended overhead on a boom arm to illuminate the hair and shoulders of a subject without spilling forward onto the face.
-
Elongated 1’x4′ Strip Profile: Delivers a narrow, controlled band of soft illumination, highly optimized for vertical accenting and long catchlights.
-
Recessed Front Face Design: The outer diffuser is recessed by several inches, providing natural flagging to prevent unwanted lens flare and spill.
-
Premium Highly Reflective Silver Interior: Maximizes light throw and contrast, ensuring zero power is wasted inside the modifier shell.
-
Dual-Layer Removable Diffusion: Includes both an inner baffle and an outer diff sheet to achieve perfect edge-to-edge light distribution.
-
Color-Coded Rods & Speedring: Features color-coded structural steel rods that match the included RFi speedring holes for fast, error-free assembly on set.
-
Heat-Resistant Fabrication: Built with heavy-duty, industrial-grade textiles capable of enduring the thermal output of professional studio modeling lamps.

Q: Can I use this RFi softbox on lighting brands other than Profoto?
A: Yes, the softbox itself is universally compatible with the RFi system. However, the speedring included in this specific bundle features a native Profoto mount. If you plan to use this softbox on a Bowens or Broncolor fixture, please let our team know so we can supply the corresponding adapter ring insert.

Q: Is it difficult to assemble on set?
A: Not at all. Profoto’s RFi system features color-coded rods and matching paint marks on the speedring collar. Simply align the colored rods with the corresponding slots on the ring, and the box snaps together quickly under tension.
