On the beginning of this month Profoto released a new line of softboxes. It was rather surprising to notice that Profoto's new set of sofboxes, speedring and grids are noticeably cheaper than previous versions and come with design improvements like color coded rods and selection of speedrings to attach the boxes to all major flash brands.
I have been planning to replace my cheap stripbox, and getting the brand new RFi stripbox with half of the price compared to their older line of boxes made the upgrade decision easy. Campaign offer where free Nikon/Canon speedring is given for buyer of RFi box+speedring made it even easier. Profoto is known from their robustly made lighting equipment and this kind of steep price reduction put me little bit cautious. Can the new RFi (name comes from recessed front, improved) boxes stand against their older brothers.
