Product Description

Profoto softboxes offer a removable internal diffuser that offers additional versatility. With the internal diffuser attached, the light is even; when removed, the illumination is focused in the center of the box with a gradation out to the ends. Also featured as part of the new design, is a recessed front diffuser that can be removed to increase the contrast and produce a center-weighed spot effect. The units also have a velcro strip to hold accessories, such as grids, barn doors and louvers. Internal silver coating with removable inner and front diffuser and steel rods.

This review is from: Profoto 505-708 4-Feet x 6-Feet Softbox (White/Black) (Electronics)

Profoto is the recognized brand used by many professionals for delivery of consistency and quality. I love the large swath of soft light this allows and great for group pics and when you want to look important. ; ) But this sucker is HUGE! I was able to lay down and it swallowed me up huge.

I'm glad they used thicker rods due to the size of this softbox. Installation into the speedring was fairly simple; removing it required a little more work, due to the tension. Once you free the first rod, the rest are pretty easy.

Light modifiers from Profoto are not cheap, but when you want quality, consistency, and professional grade gear, this is the way to go.

As a point of reference, i also own the 1x4 with grids, 2x3, 3x4 softbox and the Compact 600R kit and the D1 Air 1000 kit.
