Transporting the original Magnum Reflector is just about the same as traveling with a traditional beauty dish - it's large, doesn't collapse, and is prone to dents and warping.Ĭuriously, power is lost on the OCF Magnum and Zoom Reflector 2 in the spotted ("8") position when used with the B1 (and presumably, D1 and D2), heads.
PROFOTO ZOOM REFLECTOR 2 PORTABLE
Settings on the meter were common for a scene to be lit entirely by flash: 1/250s, ISO 100.įrom our tests, it looks like the OCF Magnum compares very favorably with the original Profoto Magnum Reflector, generating about and extra 2/3 stop of power compared to the standard reflector (and 1 2/3 stop compared to a bare-bulb) in a much smaller, more portable package. The lumisphere was in the recessed position to ensure that only flash exposure was being measured. To test the output of each reflector, I placed my Sekonic L-858 meter at a measured distance of 6' (1.83m) from the lumisphere to the bulb on the B1 head. Equipment & Methodįor the following test(s), I used the equipment listed below: Today I'll be comparing the original Profoto Magnum Reflector to the new OCF Magnum Reflector to see how it compares in generating the same amount of power. While they may be smaller and lighter, they are no less capable than their bigger brothers. Additionally, it continues to keep a smooth, even and flooded light much like a small beauty dish, but with more specular properties, as is consistent with a silver reflector. The Profoto Magnum reflector is known for its ability to increase light output of the head it's attached to by one stop or more, above a standard reflector, and up to two stop compared to a bare bulb. Each of these reflectors are more lightweight, portable versions of their "full sized" counterparts, and are designed to work better with the Profoto OCF Flashes, such as the B1/B1X and B2. Its folding handle makes for space-efficient packing and storage.The OCF Magnum Reflector is Profoto's newest addition to their growing OCF line of light shaping tools, accompanied by an OCF Zoom Reflector.
PROFOTO ZOOM REFLECTOR 2 PLUS
The ProHead Plus comes with Zoom Reflector 2 that can provide 45 - 100-degree beam angles to suit your needs.
PROFOTO ZOOM REFLECTOR 2 CRACK
The beefed up 13.2' head cable is twist and crack resistant. And the head has 500W of modelling light output to match all that power, making it bright enough to shoot video with if needed. Even the glass dome has been beefed up to better handle its power. The ProHead Plus has a heavy duty, sealed head connector capable of safely pumping very large amounts of juice to the upgraded "Perfect Arc" flash tube that offers improved triggering at low power settings and greater overall flash stability.
Power has always been at the heart of the ProHead's design and the ProHead Plus doesn't disappoint with its fan-cooled 4,800W/s capacity and heavy-duty cabling that allows for intense shooting sessions hour after hour. Building on the foundation of the high-performance ProHead, the ProHead Plus Flash Head with Zoom Reflector by Profoto raises the bar on the definition of "professional" equipment.
