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 2’x3’ Softbox Softgrid is a mission-critical directional modifier accessory designed to mount directly onto your Profoto RFi 2’x3′ (60x90cm) Rectangular Softbox. The 2’x3′ softbox is one of the most universally deployed modifiers for portraits and commercial interviews due to its versatile proportional coverage. However, its widespread soft output naturally spills onto studio backgrounds. This professional-grade fabric grid (eggcrate) resolves that layout issue instantly, compressing the stray light spread into a focused 50-degree beam.

By securing this softgrid onto the recessed front hook-and-loop border of your softbox, you preserve the gorgeous, wrap-around diffuse quality of a soft box while introducing the dramatic, localized light placement of a hard reflector. It allows photographers and videographers to illuminate subjects cleanly while dropping adjacent walls or backdrops into deep shadow. Built from heavy-duty, high-tension nylon webbing, it maintains its geometric cell rigidity on set and collapses down flat into a pocket-sized pouch for lightweight travel.

Applicable Scenarios:

Corporate Interviews & Talking Heads: Tightly illuminate your subject while preventing light from spilling onto background office walls or causing flare on side sets.
Dramatic Studio Portraiture: Achieve deep, moody shadows and fast light fall-off for high-contrast character and editorial portrait layouts.
E-Commerce Packshots & Products: Confidently flag down light spill on clean background setups, highlighting only the desired facets of your merchandise.

Focused 50-Degree Beam Angle: Compresses a broad rectangular diffuse wash into a highly targeted directional light path, sharply minimizing side spill.
Full-Perimeter Hook-and-Loop Fastening: Heavy-duty Velcro-style strips allow for fast, reliable installation along the recessed front edge of the RFi softbox shell.
Ultra-Compact Fabric Build: Folds flat effortlessly into a compact footprint within seconds, taking up negligible space in production lighting kits.
Color-Neutral Light Management: Directs stray light paths cleanly without introducing any shifts in flash color temperature or altering diffusion softness.
Anti-Sag Geometric Alignment: Precision-stitched square cells provide robust structural tension to resist sagging during extended shooting sessions.

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

Q: Can I use this softgrid on other brands of 2’x3′ softboxes?
- A: This grid is custom-cut to perfectly align with the exact dimensional ratios and internal Velcro depth of the Profoto RFi 2’x3′ (60x90cm) softbox shell. While it might fit third-party rectangular boxes with identical dimensions, an absolute flush fit and optimal tension can only be guaranteed on the native Profoto RFi frame.
Q: Does this grid cause a significant loss in light output?
- A: Because the grid physically absorbs off-axis stray light to create a directional beam, overall ambient light volume on set will decrease. However, your forward-facing on-axis exposure remains concentrated, bright, and sharp.
Q: Do I need to remove the front white diffusion sheet to use this grid?
- A: No. The grid is designed to mount directly over the external front diffusion sheet. The Profoto RFi softbox features an extended, deeply recessed front border specifically engineered to host both the diffuser and this fabric grid concurrently.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
- A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period.
Q: Is a deposit required?
- A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
- A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient.
