About OCF Gels
The OCF Gels for Profoto O-Camera Flashes have
been designed with the on-location photographer in
mind. Our ambition has been to make it easy to use gels,
enabling you to play with color eects or simply match
the color temperature of the flash with the ambient light.
The OCF Gels are made to assure the highest levels of
reliability and performance. But keep in mind that no gel
lasts forever. They are consumables. That is their nature.
We have created two collections of gels for you, the
Color Correction Gel Pack and the Color Eects Gel

Pack, so that you can always replenish your stock and
avoid running out of your favorite colors.
All gels are aected by heat. Shoot faster and on higher
power output, and you will inevitably shorten their
lifetime. Shoot less fast and on lower power, and the
lifetime increases.
Note that the gel becoming slightly wrinkled does not
have any eect on its performance. It is not until you
experience your gel as deformed that we recommend
you to replace your gel.
