Profoto is enhancing the world of light-shaping with its new Profoto Clic Softbox Octa, a softbox that magnetically snaps to the brand’s A and C series flashes for a seamless setup with serious results. The Profoto Clic Softbox Octa mounts magnetically, and quickly, producing natural light for events, flat lays, portraits, and everything in between. The softbox also works well with other Clic light-shaping tools. This ensures photographers can create the lighting aesthetic they envisioned.

In addition to its creative benefits, the softbox is impressively functional. It features a built-in stand adapter that works just as well handheld as it does stationary. The handle also comes with a built-in tilting mechanism that gives photographers full-on flexibility for switching between angles.

The lightweight softbox is everything photographers hope for in a softbox. It’s portable, functional, efficient, and — perhaps most importantly — it creates gorgeous, flattering light. Here’s everything we know about the new Profoto Clic Softbox Octa.
