![]() The Profoto reflector can range from 25 to 50 degrees which means it produces quite a wider spread of light then the Glow reflector. While you can't zoom the head like you can on Profoto does it have the same type of effect? Anyone use this and how does it compare to Magnum. I can’t imagine the barndoors being up to much, but I’m sure they wouldn’t be too difficult to remove.I am about to get the Godox AD200 and saw the Glow 70 Degree Magnum Reflector for $80. You should be able to get cheap Chinese barndoors with included gel holders that would fit a 7 inch reflector. I think the internal diameter of the Zoom Reflector 2 is closer to 7 1/4 inches. You could just tape a gel to the front of a grid I can’t remember using gels and grids together. It is great, but would take too much space to carry four tube grids. I think it is an Impact grid problem, not a reflector problem. The grids aren’t a good fit I had to use self adhesive pads on the edge of the grids to get them to sit tight. I use a Profoto 7 inch reflector with Impact 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40° grids. Accoridng to profoto sight zoom reflector 2 is 7.6 inches diameter would be nice if those holders would clip to the zoom reflector 2, then I wouldn't have to buy new grids and can use my photogenic snoots and barndoors. I have some grid/gel holders that fit my photogenic lights which clip on to the reflectors which are about 7 3/4 inches diameter, giver or take. Do others make gel holders that would fit the profoto grid reflector that accepts standard 7 inch grids? ![]() The profoto grid/gel holder that fits the zoom refelector, like all profoto stuff, seems way overpriced at $190 - gaffers tape is a lot cheaper per roll. I also use gels and grids together frequently. Or, they also have the tube with grids on the end that fit directly on the D1 with no refelctor. Or, you can get the grid reflector that accepts standard 7 inch grids of other brands. ![]() And, the profoto grids are 4 times as expensive as other brand grids. I see you can go with the newer zoom reflector, and then the profoto brand grids attach directly to it, but can't use other brand grids. I'm looking for thoughts on grid and gel holders to fit Profoto D1 monolights. ![]()
