Q: 1. Do we know of the difference in quality( light quality and build quality) between the new OCF range compared to RFI?I know they are designed to be more portable but at what cost?I can't find any reviews online yet.Cheers

A: The light quality should be similar to the light quality to the RFi light modifiers. Due to the intent of the Profoto B1 and B2 lights (designed for mobility or photographers on the move), the Profoto OCF light modifiers are designed to be much lighter, and are made from strong glass fiber. It was also designed specifically for these light fixtures, which use LED modeling lights instead of the brighter (and much hotter) halogen modeling lights used with Profoto's other studio light fixtures. However, due to the construction material of the OCF light modifiers, they cannot handle the heat of the halogen modeling lights, which the RFi light modifiers were designed for and are better apt to handle the heat. As stated, the light quality may be identical (or at the least, similar) to the RFi light modifiers. The build quality does differ, as the OCF modifiers are more lightweight (and the material make them more economical as well), but they are simply not recommended for use with all Profoto equipment; instead, they are recommended only for Profoto's OCF system. (Do note the B1 and B2 lights can accept all Profoto light modifiers, including the RFi system; it is just the reverse is not so.)

Q: 2. Will this work with a Profoto B2?

A: The Profoto B2 head will work with all profoto softboxes and except the the Click accessories.

Q: 3. Are there replacement rods available? They need to be secured in transport or you will lose them :)

A: yes, just contact Profoto service. 973.822.1300

Q: 4. Is there a speedring adapter to use with profoto a1?

A: There is not a Pofoto adapter for the A1 or A1X yet.

Q: 5. The Velcro tabs near the speed ring seem to be too small. What's the trick to getting the Velcro to stick together?

A: If you make sure they're as close as possible to each other they should stick together well. You may have to pull them (not too hard) so they're taut. Feel free to take a short and video on your phone to demonstrate the problem and email it to us at stagelighting@bhphoto.com if you want us to take a look at your situation. I assume someone else will need to hold the phone to video you.

Q: 6. Does the come with the high quality woven bag like the 3' Octo?

A: Hi Yinger. Yes, It comes with a high quality woven bag, but I'm not sure if it is the same as the 3' Octa (I don't have the 3' Octa).

Q: 7. Would this softbox fit the flashpoint200 evolv

A: You would need this adapter Godox AD200 Adapter for Profoto Accessories BH #GOADP and a speed ring Profoto Speed Ring for OCF Flash Heads B&H # PROCFSR

Q: 8. will this fit on the new profoto clic 2 ft soft box octa?

A: No, the Profoto Softgrid for the OCF Softbox is not compatible with the Profoto Clic 2' Octabox. There is a specific option with the Profoto Clic Softgrid Octa, BH # PRCSGO. https://bhpho.to/3AxNP5X

Q: 9. Would this Grid Also work on the newly released 24 OCF Beauty Dish?

A: It fits, and works, but there is a down side.Every Beauty Dish has a soft area (the area which is covered by the deflector plate) and hard area (the area which is !not! covered by the deflector plate). If the grid is used with just the Beauty Dish, then it shows the grid pattern in the hard area (because its 50, and made for a softbox rather than a Beauty Dish). This can only be avoided by using it in conjunction with the diffuser (sock) - but than, its a little octa and not a Beauty Dish anymore. ;(Like it anyway.

Q: 10. Will it fit a Profoto b1x ?

A: Yes , with # PROCFSR
