The Profoto RFi 4’ Octa Softbox (120cm) is a highly versatile, professional-grade light modifier engineered to produce a beautifully wrap-around soft light that masterfully flatters human skin tones. The mid-sized 4-foot octagonal geometry hits the absolute sweet spot for portrait, fashion, and commercial editorial photographers, offering a larger surface area than the 3′ Octa for softer shadows, while remaining significantly more nimble and manageable on tight sets than the giant 5′ variant. Its characteristic 8-sided shape yields an organic, completely round catchlight in your subject’s eyes, perfectly mimicking natural window light or the sun.

As part of Profoto’s elite RFi (Recessed Front Intense) line, this softbox features a deeper parabolic architecture and a recessed front bezel for superb directional control, sharply mitigating lateral light spill across your studio space. Built with a high-grade silver interior, it optimizes output while retaining gorgeous micro-contrast. Paired with its premium dual-layer internal and external diffusers, it eliminates hotspots completely. This rental package includes the native Profoto RFi Speedring, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with your Profoto D2, B1, B1x, B10, or B10 Plus strobes.
