Shooting with color gels allows you to get amazing creative effects that big studios use to add depth to skin tones and cinematic light to your shots. The kit comes with Rose Pink, Yellow, and Peacock Blue color gels that attach magnetically to the C1 Plus. You can stack different color gels to make new colors. Stack the blue and yellow for green and the pink and yellow for orange. Each gel gives a different effect, keeping your subject from looking washed out or giving your shot a moody sunset vibe.

Profoto Clic Creative Gel Kit — Cinematic Color Accents for the C1 Plus

The gist: Three magnetic color gels — Rose Pink, Peacock Blue, and Yellow — that snap onto the Profoto C1 Plus in seconds, bringing cinematic studio-style color effects to a mobile travel photography workflow.

  • Three foundational creative colors: Rose Pink for warm skin tones, Peacock Blue for cool cinematic backlight, and Yellow for golden-hour fill — a palette that covers most mood-driven travel shots.
  • Magnetic Clic mount: Attaches and detaches in under a second without tools — practical for switching moods between frames while shooting on location.
  • Stackable for extended color range: Blue + Yellow creates green; Pink + Yellow creates orange — six effective colors from three physical gels.
  • Compatible with C1 Plus, A1X, and A1 Studio Lights: Works across the Profoto mobile and studio light ecosystem without adapter rings.

Fstoppers’ review of the C1 Plus noted that the Clic gel system meaningfully expands the light’s creative range for location portrait work, adding mood and narrative depth to images that a bare flash typically can’t produce.

Best for: Travel portrait and creative photographers who own a Profoto C1 Plus and want to add cinematic color accents to location shoots without carrying a full gel roll. Skip it if: You don’t own a Profoto C1 Plus, A1X, or A1 — the magnetic mount is proprietary to the Clic ecosystem. Runs ~$15 — check the current price before buying.
