Super performance – easy handling
We designed and engineered Profoto tools as a high performance system for professionals – with built-in ruggedness and durability. At the same time, we made sure that you can easily control lighting in demanding situations.
As a professional photographer, you have your own special style and needs. You know what you want to achieve, and it is not right until you can shape the light your way. Therefore, the Profoto Light Shaping System offers maximum flexibility.
Grab and move
The sturdy, rubber-clad handle makes adjustments easy, and keeps your fingers away from the hot head.
Locking handle
Easy to unscrew and re-direct the head. Frictionless movement and easy to lock safely, even with the heavier softboxes.
Touch me
This silicon-enhanced rubber collar lets you adjust and change your zoom setting even after hours of shooting.
Just zoom
Slide the reflector back for even lighting over a broad area. Slide it forward to get centered light with a gradual fall-off at the edges.
We set the position of the flash tube high and free of the lamp body, does making every Light Shaping Tool zoomable. So every one of our tools offers a cascade of lighting effects.
The Profoto family of Light Shaping Tools covers every angle, from traditional umbrellas and reflectors, to special effects equipment. Based on our design philosophy of look, listen and touch, the controls are easy to read and use – even without reading manuals. Just choose the tool you need, snap it on, then zoom it to perfection. You’re in control.
Stand attachment
Heavy duty construction and placed so that even the larger reflectors may be easily moved without the stand being in the way.
”Set it on seven!”
Large scale of white numbers helps you remember your favorite settings for each tool.
Change in a snap
All Profoto tools fasten with a virtually unbreakable rubber and metal clasp that is very easy to use.
Help is here
Easy-to-read charts and numbers help you find the right light shape setting when zooming.

New Zoom Reflector
The classic Profoto Zoom Reflector has served photographers all over the world for more than three decades. It was time to look it over, and our technicians actually managed to improve it in a number of areas: – even better light distribution: smoother, stronger, more accurate – integrated grid holder: grids now fit directly into the reflector – a new protection cap, the Zoom Cap, that fits onto and over the reflector (and the grid), securing transportation and storage as well as enabling the photographer to leave the grid on. Existing accessories still fit as before.

HardBox, ProBox and ProGlobe
Simulate direct sunlight, surrounding light or a street lamp, while getting the shadows and sharpness you require. Or provide extremely even illumination for small reflecting objects. Profoto’s boxes are the answer. Easy mounting, and especially convenient for quick location lighting.
29
Hardbox
This unique light shaping tool is actually a kind of absorber that eliminates straylight and reduces the size of the light source to its minimum. With the Hardbox it’s possible to create a light character similar to direct sunlight, with deep sharp shadows and pinpoint-sized highlights. The Hardbox accepts the same accessories like the Standard Zoom Reflector for improved light control. For best results the Hardbox should be used in combination with clear glass covers.
