Profoto announces the B1X – Power in All the Right Places!

https://youtu.be/SnsdNgQ17bY

This is the new B1X

We’d like to think of the new B1X as power with a purpose. And that purpose is simple, we want image creators everywhere to be able to realize their vision. If that’s halfway up a mountain, overpowering the sun in the middle of the desert or hanging off a rock overlooking the Mediterranean – then so be it.

That’s why the LED modeling light adds 80% more light output, the battery holds 50% more power and why the B1X has the widest HSS range available on any flash.

Because we want you to have power in all the right places. And the most important place of all just happens to be your imagination.

NOW AVAILABLE @ COMPETITIVE CAMERAS!

B1x To Go Kit – $2,095 each

B1x Location Kit – $4,148 each

Power and punch.
Two new OCF Hard Reflectors.

Adding hard light to the shaping palette of Profoto OCF Light Shaping Tools are the OCF Zoom Reflector and the OCF Magnum Reflector.

The OCF Zoom Reflector doubles the effective light output at two meters range, while the slightly larger OCF Magnum Reflector adds even more effective power output making it perfect for throwing light over long distances without being overpowered by natural light – and both are compact and lightweight.
