C1 Plus Creative Gel Kit

Profoto Clic Creative Gel Kit — Add Studio Color Effects to Professional Headshot and Event Work

The gist: Three magnetic gels that snap onto the Profoto C1 Plus to introduce skin-tone warmth, cinematic color separation, or background accents to headshots, events, and editorial portraits without additional lighting equipment.

• Rose Pink for flattering skin tones: Adds warmth to portraits that photographers and makeup artists use in commercial headshot work to flatter a wide range of skin tones.
• Peacock Blue for background separation: Creates the blue-backlight look common in commercial portraits, distinguishing the subject from a plain background without a second light.
• Stackable for six color combinations: Blue and Yellow stack to produce green; Pink and Yellow create orange — more options without carrying additional accessories.
• Magnetic Clic mount for fast swaps: Attaches and removes in under a second during a shoot, making it practical between back-to-back headshot clients.

Fstoppers’ review of the C1 Plus described the Clic gel system as a meaningful extension of the light for portrait and event photographers, noting it lets a single-light setup produce a wider variety of moods during a commercial shoot session.

Best for: Commercial portrait photographers, event shooters, and content studios who own a Profoto C1 Plus and want to increase creative output without additional lighting gear. Skip it if: Your light kit is from a different brand — the magnetic Clic mount attaches only to Profoto C1 Plus, A1X, and A1. Runs ~$15 — check the current price before buying.
