Profoto RFI Softbox Octa 5′ 150cm

The “Grand” Octa for legendary, wrapping light.

The RFi Octa 5′ is a staple in high-end fashion and portrait studios worldwide. With a massive 150cm diameter, it provides an incredibly soft, “cloud-like” light that wraps around the subject from almost every angle. It is large enough to act as a single-light solution for full-body portraits, group shots, and large-scale commercial sets.
Ultra-Soft Wrap-Around Quality: The 5-foot surface area makes shadows virtually disappear, providing a painterly transition from light to dark. It is the go-to modifier for high-fashion “dreamy” looks and flawless skin.
Iconic Round Catchlights: Its near-circular shape creates large, beautiful reflections in the eyes, mimicking a giant window or the natural sky. This makes it a favorite for beauty and editorial photographers.
Even Coverage for Groups: The massive spread allows you to light a group of 3–5 people with a single light source, ensuring that the people on the ends receive the same quality of light as the person in the center.
Precision Depth (RFi): Despite its size, the recessed front allows for excellent directionality. You can angle the Octa to “feather” the light across a set, maintaining control over the background exposure.
