The Profoto RFi 5’ Octa Softbox Softgrid is a mission-critical directional control accessory designed to mount natively onto your giant Profoto RFi 5′ Octa Softbox (150cm). A massive 5-foot octagonal softbox is a premium industry standard for high-end fashion, full-body bridal portraits, and cinematic video keying because it creates an exceptionally beautiful, wrapping pool of light. However, its colossal surface area naturally floods the entire studio with stray ambient illumination. This commercial-grade fabric grid (commonly known as an eggcrate) restricts that lateral bleed, channeling your ultra-soft output into a targeted 50-degree beam.

By anchoring this softgrid to the deeply recessed front hook-and-loop border of your 5′ softbox, you retain the flattering, skin-softening characteristics of a massive window-light source while introducing the high-contrast directional control of a hard reflector. It allows fashion photographers and cinematographers to completely isolate large subjects, creating fast shadow fall-off and dramatic low-key profiles without accidentally washing out adjacent background studio walls, cyc walls, or foreground details. Stitched from heavy-duty, high-tension nylon fabric tape, it resists sagging on set and folds down completely flat into a pocket-sized footprint for effortless traveling.

Applicable Scenarios:

• Large-Scale Video Interviews & Cinema Keying: Softly illuminate your subject with a beautiful large window-light effect while keeping side sets or corporate backgrounds clean, dark, and undistracted.

• Full-Body Portraiture & High-Fashion Lookbooks: Keep light tightly localized on your model from head to toe without causing light to bounce off nearby white studio walls or reflective floors.

• Low-Key Editorial & Fine Art Work: Create deep, painterly shadows and a moody, dramatic fall-off by strictly isolating the massive throw of a 150cm softbox.
