Flexible Light

Control

The center pole is made of two rods that can be used indivi-

dually or combined to increase the options of where the head

will be mounted. This makes it possible to mount the head

in four different positions to achieve anything from a large

size spot to broad ﬂoodlight.The holder for the head has also

been equipped with a spill kill reﬂector. By sliding the head

back and forth it is possible to control and eliminate the

stray light. Since the lamp head is fastened with Profoto’s

unique rubber collar, the light focusing can be ﬁnely adjusted

in each position. With a Profoto D4 2400 at six feet (1.8m),

up to f/64 (ISO 100/21°) is possible.

The reﬂectors provide easy, quick mounting and removal,

and an opening in the back of the unit allows the head cable

to go out through the reﬂector.

For three decades many top photographers have appreciated

the light quality of Profoto’s ﬂash heads with their unique

focusable zoom reﬂector system which makes it possible

for the creative photographer to “paint” with light.

Profoto has introduced 5, 7 & 8 foot reﬂectors with equivalent

diameters of 153, 213 and 250cm – true parabolic reﬂectors

made in a silver fabric. The 8' Reﬂector has an illuminated

surface area that is 50% larger than the 7' Reflector and

200% larger than the 5' Reﬂector.

Each reﬂector gives a unique, crisp light, but since the light

source is large, the light appears soft, with a distinct brilliance

that brings out structural details in materials.

These giant reﬂectors accept all Profoto heads, including

our Tungsten heads. The Profoto 5', 7' and 8' reﬂectors are

collapsible for easy transportation. Thanks to their light-

weight but stable design and easy handling, they are also

suited for location work.

They are delivered with a transportation bag and stand

adapter; optional snap-on diffusers can be used for added

versatility.
