OCF Softbox Octa
Reviews
A step up for ease of use.
The new flip open Octa is a great upgrade for ease of use. This new Octa maintains the same flat, easy to transport footprint of the older OCF Octa with the added convenience of the built-in speedring and the easy flip open design. The built-in speedring is very much up to the standards of Profoto and seems like it will last a lifetime. Well done.

March 2024OCF Softbox Octa 3
In the beginning the installation was very difficult, I could hardly get it done with a lot of force. I left the softbox assembled for a day and then setting up and dismantling was much easier. I am happy with it, the light is very beautiful. And easy to take with you on the go.

January 2024New Soft Box
Hard to assemble for a soft box but the light that comes out is really nice. I replace this with a Westcott I had from the 90's and now I feel brand new.

December 2023Love at First Light
I have other soft boxes that I use in the studio but this one is now my 'sidekick'. I love it from day one. It's light and versatile. I use it all the time when I go out on shoots.

Profoto stands on its quality and this modifier is no exception. Works as described, great quality and customer service.

November 2023Priced Right!
Good price, however the modifier arrived with several of the rods poking out of the seams (required repair). It would be nice if the damage was disclosed as the demo page states “units are in excellent condition” not the case.

September 2023Profoto OCF 3¨ Softbox Octa
First of all I am grateful for such a quick shipping time. I bought a demo and it was in a perfect condition. This will be a great addition to my many other soft boxes and umbrellas from Profoto. I used it today for the first time and it fulfilled my expectation from Profoto.

January 2023Good light, poor build
The light quality is great, but the build is very thin and delicate material. I’d recommend only if you’re looking for the very lightest and most portable softbox you can find which will never be abused.

October 2022Pleasure to use
Easy to set up and mount on the B1X or B10. Produces a nice diffuse even light with good catchlights. the 90cm gives a more pleasant / diffuse light than the 60cm alternative.

January 2022幅広く運用できる万能オクタボックス
90cmの大きさがあるので60Octaよりも柔らかくて大きい面光源の光を生成することができ(ストロボ、LED使用時)、メイン、起こし、トップ等様々な用途に使用することができる。 特にワンオペの際は収納、展開もしやすく持ち運びもしやすいためこれに3万円払う価値は十分にあると感じた。

October 2021OCF 3 foot softbox
Quick delivery. Nice item but very difficult to built. Because how tight the rods are it’s hard to click into place especially the last few rods. I love the size but wish it was easier to put together

July 2021Hard for me to put into speedring
I do not have an assistant. I am a female photographer and I consider myself very strong. But I have a difficult time putting the soft box poles into the speedring. I may not be able to keep the 3’ soft box. the 2 foot soft box is hard enough and the 3 foot Softbox is nearly impossible for me without breaking the equipment. Any ideas??

July 2021OCF Octa
Putting it together was time consuming. While it’s allegedly portable, I’d hate to look ******, spending 20 minutes just assembling it at a shoot outdoors or on location. It does seem to very well made. At 2 foot box is functional, but small.In my studio it’s great for portraits, but not so great for full length. I found an answer to a question about putting RFI softboxes on B10s. It’s a shame you don’t make larger modifiers for the B10/B10+ available. To get a larger, soft light source, I’ve got back the good old umbrellas. The reasons I only gave this a 3 star review is the size and also the extreme cost.
