Profoto Announces the Profoto Spot Small
The Profoto Spot Small is a versatile light-shaping tool for professional photographers, particularly those specializing in fashion, portraits, product photography, or fine art. It comes with a 115mm lens you can adjust to get a clean, clear beam of light without any odd distortions. There are four built-in metal leaves that you can tweak to shape the light just right, which is perfect for nailing precise highlights or specific effects, no matter what kind of shoot you’re doing.
You’ve got some nice options for controlling this. The leaves let you fine-tune how the light looks, and if you pick up extras like the Iris or Gobo Holder, you can create custom patterns or add unique effects. It features a magnetic ring on the front that works with Profoto’s Clic accessories, allowing you to mix and match for creative combinations. The lens itself allows you to adjust the beam’s spread or strength, which is ideal for a range of applications, from tight, detailed work to larger lighting setups.
It’s built to last, so it should hold up well for regular use, and it’s small enough to carry around for shoots outside the studio. It may take some time to get accustomed to all its features, but it’s significantly more precise than something like a grid or snoot, which can be less predictable. It also integrates seamlessly with Profoto’s other lighting gear, which is a significant advantage if you’re already using their system.
