Profoto has expanded their line of Clic Light Shaping tools with the addition of two new softboxes, two softgrids and the Clic Magnum, all of which are designed to be uses with their A2 Air TTL and A10 on-camera flashes.
Clic Magnum
According to Profoto, the Clic Magnum was designed to “bring out the optimal power of the Profoto A-series flashes.”
The Magnum features a magnetic mount which allows you to quickly and easily mount or unmount it to the flash itself and when mounted, it adds an additional 1.8 f-stops of effective light output.
When combined with the Profoto A2, the Clic Magnum narrows the beam angle from 62 to 37 degrees and with the addition of the grid, the beam angle narrows down even further to 20 degrees.
Features
- Compatible with Profoto A-series flashes
- Comes with a protective case
- Magnetic Clic mount
- Creates an even smooth fall-off
- Up to 1.8 f-stops added light output
- Grid included

Clic Softbox 2.3’ (70cm) Octa & Clic Softbox 2.7’ (80cm) Octa
Both softboxes allow you to immerse a subject in a soft light spread with the light becoming softer as you go up in size.
Speaking of size, both softboxes are very compact with the 70mm version measuring 16.5cm (w) x 6.5cm (H) x 60cm (L) and weighing 0.9kg (1.98lbs).
The slightly larger 80mm version measures 16.5cm (w) x 6.5cm (H) x 65cm (L) and weighs 1kg (2.2lbs).
Because both versions are made to be portable, they utilize a quick fold/unfold solution with an integrated handle allowing it to be mounted on a stand in addition to the magnetic mount used to mount to an A-Series flash.
Features
- Magnetic Mount for easy set-up
- Creates a soft and flattering light.
- Integrated handle & stand adapter.
- Compatible with other Clic light shaping tools
- Compact and lightweight.
- Delivered in a labeled soft bag.
Clic Softgrid 2.3’ (70cm) Octa & Clic Softgrid 2.7’ (80cm) Octa
To be used with the two new softboxes, these grids are designed to create a more directed light while eliminating a large amount of spill light.
They can be easily mounted by simply pulling them over the face of the softbox when it is fully deployed rather than having to worry about lining up Velcro fasteners.
One thing to note is that Profoto recommends that these grids only be used with Profoto flashes with an LED modeling light.
Features
- Limits the light spread
- Easy pull-over mounting technique for fast set-up
- Made with high-quality fabrics
- Compact and lightweight
- Delivered in a labeled soft pouch
