Profoto RFi 4’x6’ Softbox Softgrid

$450.00 /day

A lightweight, collapsible 50-degree fabric eggcrate grid tailored specifically for the massive Profoto RFi 4’x6’ (120x180cm) Rectangular Softbox. Delivers precise directional control over giant, window-scale diffuse layouts.

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 4’x6’ Softbox Softgrid is an indispensable directional control accessory designed to integrate seamlessly with your massive Profoto RFi 4’x6′ (120x180cm) Rectangular Softbox. While a giant 4’x6′ softbox is legendary for creating a massive, wrapping, north-facing window light profile, its colossal surface area inherently floods the entire studio with stray ambient illumination. This commercial-grade fabric grid (commonly referred to as an eggcrate) restricts that lateral spill, channeling your soft output into a tightly managed 50-degree beam.

By mounting this softgrid onto the deeply recessed front hook-and-loop border of your 4’x6′ softbox, you preserve the gorgeous, skin-softening wrapping properties of a massive diffusion source while introducing the surgical directional precision of a hard reflector. It allows commercial photographers and cinematographers to completely isolate large subjects—such as vehicles or sets of multiple people—creating fast shadow fall-off and dramatic low-key spaces without accidentally washing out adjacent background studio walls or foreground details.

Targeted 50-Degree Beam Directionality: Compresses a colossal 4’x6′ rectangular light output down to a concentrated 50° throw angle, sharply eliminating lateral room spill.
Full-Perimeter Hook-and-Loop Fastening: Heavy-duty Velcro-style strips snap rapidly and securely into the built-in recessed front border of the massive RFi softbox shell.
Ultra-Lightweight & Collapsible Build: Folds flat into a compact footprint in seconds, taking up negligible room in location or production lighting kits.
Color-Neutral Light Management: Tightly controls stray light pathing without introducing any shifts in flash color temperature or disrupting uniform diffusion softness.
Reinforced Anti-Sag Structural Matrix: Precision-stitched square cells provide excellent structural tension to resist sagging, a critical requirement given the massive 120x180cm vertical and horizontal footprint.

(Note: This rental listing includes the fabric grid accessory only. It does not include the massive 4’x6′ softbox fabric shell, diffusers, speedrings, or flash lamp heads. Please rent those items separately as needed.)

Q: Can I use this softgrid on other brands of 4’x6′ softboxes?
A: This grid is custom-cut to perfectly align with the exact dimensional ratios and internal Velcro depth of the Profoto RFi 4’x6′ (120x180cm) softbox shell. While it might stick to alternative third-party rectangular boxes with identical dimensions, a completely flush fit and optimal tension can only be guaranteed on the native Profoto RFi frame.
Q: Does this grid cause a massive 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 punchy.
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: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
