Our editorial take on the Profoto Clic Magnum Reflector
The Profoto Clic Magnum Reflector is a much-needed and brilliantly executed addition to the A-series ecosystem. For photographers working with these compact flashes, the Magnum is the key to unlocking a new level of power and creative control. It effectively transforms a small light source into a potent tool capable of producing a hard, punchy beam that can easily overpower ambient light on location. By focusing the beam into a tight 37-degree angle, it provides a very real 1.8-stop boost in output, making it invaluable for outdoor portraiture, sports, and dramatic fashion work.
Beyond the raw power increase, the quality of light is classic Profoto. It delivers the crisp, defined character that photographers expect from a Magnum reflector, just in a package designed for maximum portability. The inclusion of a 20-degree grid adds another layer of precise control right out of the box. The fact that some photographers are adapting the Clic Magnum for use with other brands' lights speaks volumes about its unique value. It’s a specialized tool that does one thing exceptionally well: create powerful, beautiful, hard light from a small source.

This looks like an ultralight setup that can provide some serious output.
One of the most frustrating things I see is photographers limiting their knowledge of light to one modifier. So much so, that there are people who can build whole portfolios with just one single type of light. While this is not wrong, it must get boring for the viewer after some time. That is why I went searching for some of the most unusual light shaping tools.
The more interesting release may be the Clic Magnum Reflector. This is the first reflector for the Clic system and is a very nice addition. The reflector works as expected and will focus the beam of light to a 37-degree beam angle, effectively increasing brightness by approximately 1.8 stops. It also includes a 20-degree grid.
