Is the Profoto Clic worth the money? Well, in this video we compare it to the Angler 24″ at 1/3rd of the price. If you use off-camera flash, then you need a softbox at some point. As a Profoto user, I own the Profoto Clic, but as many photographers have pointed out, there are cheaper alternatives for this lighting softbox. Let’s break down the differences between the two.
Equipment Used:
Camera: Canon EOS R5
Lens: Canon RF 85mm F1.2 Lens
Light: Profoto A10
Modifier: Angler FastBox Octagonal Softbox (24″)
Team:
Photographer: Sal Cincotta
