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.

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.
