Generators – Batter y Bringing your light Profoto Pro-B2 Working on location is always a challenge. There’s not enough time. There’s not enough light. And worse: there’s no electricity. – Up to 200 full power flashes from a single battery cassette. – Ultrafast recycling: 0.04 – 1.8 sec. – Very short flash durations: 1/2200 – 1/7400 sec. – Full 8 f-stop range in 1/2 or 1/10 step adjustments. – Asymmetrical or symmetrical power distribution. – Up to 250 W modeling lamp. – Built-in radio (optional).
Generators – Batter y We have a battery generator for everyone flash durations down to a 1/3000 seconds, the Pro-7b will give you the light you need, wherever you need it. The Profoto Pro-7b is the battery pack for everybody with serious lighting needs when away from the studio, but without the need for ultra-fast recycling and extremely short flash durations of the Profoto Pro-B2. Needless to say, we offer very powerful battery generators, with performance surpassing many regular flash units.

Batter y – Shape your own light Grab and move The sturdy, rubber-clad handle on the lamp head takes the hassle out of adjusting the light even when the head is hot after hours of shooting. We wouldn’t dream of standing in your way As a professional photographer, you have your own special style and needs.You know the expression you want to achieve, and you don’t feel good until you can shape the light your way. Therefore, the Profoto Light Shaping System is based on the principle of maximum flexibility.
Shape your own light – Batter y Just zoom it By pushing the reflector forward and backward on the lamphead, the spread and effect of the light can be greatly altered. Pushed back it gives very even lighting over a broad area. Sliding it forward results in center weighted light with a gradual light fall of at the edges. You can touch it Thick rubber shields from the heat when changing tools.
Batter y – Heads Lamp heads for the Pro-B2 and the Pro-7b If you choose one of our most powerful battery generators you can use all the lamp heads that fits the state-of-the-art Pro-7 series - plus the light-weight Pro-B Head. Pro-B Head 90 07 25 For the Pro-B2 and the Pro-7b there is the handy Profoto Pro-B Head, that gives you 1200 Ws flashes and a 100 W modeling light while still weighing only 1.8 kg.
Heads – Batter y Lamp heads for the AcuteB 600/600R If you choose our most portable battery generator, you still have a wide choice of lamp heads, namely the entire Acute/D4 series - plus the super-light-weight AcuteB Head. Acute/D4 Head AcuteB Head 90 06 66 90 09 35 with with Disc reflector 90 09 36 with with Zoom reflector With a modeling light of 250 W and a maximum flash output of 4800 Ws, the Acute/D4 Head is the top of the line lamp head for all Acute generators, as well as the Profoto D4.

Batter y – Profoto B2 High-voltage power controlled by sophisticated electronics In conclusion, all Profoto generators: Building a modern flash generator raises a lot of challenges. To start with, generators contain two separate technological systems: There are microprocessors and integrated circuits for control, external interfaces and display. And there are also powerful high-voltage components that generates the actual flash.

Shape your own light – Batter y Flash equipment is a lot about technology. Photographers are not. Even though it takes advanced electronics to control a modern flash generator, there will be a human being operating the pack. There will be a hand of flesh and blood turning the knobs, carrying the pack, and inserting the cables. And there might be eyes tired from many hours of shooting that’s checking the dials. Design matters All in all, the exterior design is just as important as the interior electronics.
Batter y – Accessories Accessories Digital Wireless Freedom (Optional) Digital Wireless Freedom is a system of professional photographic products, which incorporate a compatible digital radio system, which eliminates the need for a PC sync cable. Originally integrated in the Profoto Acute2R generator, digital wireless freedom is taken to a whole new level with the Pro-B2 and AcuteB. Full 32 channel/4 zone triggering offers photographers creativity and control with a new simplified interface.
Profoto – The Light Shaping Company Profoto is also the world leader in rental equipment. Profoto’s professional products can be purchased or rented at professional photo shops, rental studios and rental shops everywhere, from Paris, London and Milan to New York City, Shanghai, Tokyo and Cape Town. Most of the world’s top photographers have chosen to work with products from Profoto, no matter if they're using flash or continuous light (HMI or tungsten).
