Profoto OCF Softbox Rectangular 2x3 (60x90cm)

The Profoto OCF Softbox Rectangular 2x3' (60 x 90cm) is a versatile light-shaping tool built for photographers and filmmakers who want soft, directional illumination in a size that remains easy to transport and fast to deploy. Its rectangular shape makes it especially useful for portraiture, editorial work, small group shots, e-commerce photography, and video interviews, producing a natural window-like quality of light with pleasing wrap and controlled edge definition.

Compatible With

• Profoto flat-front OCF flash heads used with the Profoto OCF Speedring
• Popular Profoto OCF systems such as the B10 series, B1X, and B2 (with appropriate OCF mounting support)

Soft, Controlled Rectangular Light

The 2x3' format is one of the most practical modifier sizes in lighting. It is large enough to create smooth, flattering transitions from highlight to shadow, yet compact enough for use in tighter studios, home setups, event environments, and location shoots. The rectangular profile is excellent when you want shape and direction without the broader spread of a square or octa modifier. It also creates attractive catchlights and works particularly well when feathered across a subject for refined contrast control.

Built for the OCF System

Profoto designed the OCF Softbox line for mobility and speed. This model is lightweight and optimized for photographers who need a portable modifier that travels well and sets up quickly. Color-coded rods streamline assembly, while the OCF design philosophy helps reduce bulk compared to many traditional studio softboxes. For professionals working on location, that means less time spent building gear and more time spent shaping light and shooting.

Beautiful Diffusion and Efficient Output

The front diffusion panel helps produce a soft, even beam that is ideal for skin tones, fabrics, reflective products, and controlled interview lighting. The recessed front design also assists with spill control, making it easier to direct light where you need it and limit unwanted spread onto backgrounds or surrounding areas. This combination of softness and control is one of the reasons rectangular softboxes remain a staple in both still and video production.

Ideal Uses

This softbox is well suited for headshots, half-body portraits, fashion details, beauty setups with controlled falloff, product photography, corporate video, livestreaming, and content creation. Positioned vertically, it can create elegant full-length shaping on a standing subject. Positioned horizontally, it works beautifully as a key light for seated interviews, tabletop scenes, and tighter compositions. It can also serve as a fill or edge light when used in multi-light setups.

How It Compares

Compared to a larger 3x4' or 4' octa softbox, the OCF Rectangular 2x3' offers easier handling in confined spaces and faster placement on lighter stands. Compared to smaller strip boxes, it provides broader, more forgiving coverage across the face and upper body. If you want a modifier that balances portability, softness, and directional control, the 2x3' rectangular format is often the sweet spot.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from this softbox, consider pairing it with the Profoto OCF Speedring required for mounting, as well as a sturdy light stand for secure placement. A Profoto softgrid can be useful when you need tighter beam control and less spill. Sandbags are also recommended for location use, especially outdoors or in high-traffic production environments. Depending on your shooting style, additional Profoto OCF modifiers and diffusion accessories can expand your lighting options further.

Usage Tips

For flattering portraits, place the softbox close to your subject and slightly above eye level, then feather it across the face rather than aiming it directly. This often yields smoother skin rendering and more dimensional shadows. For product work, adjust the angle to control reflections and use the rectangular shape to mimic window light. For interview video, position it just off camera for a soft key light that feels natural and polished.

Profoto Lighting Heritage

Profoto has long been recognized for developing professional light shaping tools that combine durability, consistency, and intuitive operation. The OCF line reflects the brand’s move toward lighter, travel-friendly solutions for modern image makers who split their time between studio assignments and location-based production. This softbox fits squarely into that tradition, offering the refined light quality professionals expect from the Profoto ecosystem.
