Battery

Working on location is always a challenge. There’s not enough time. There’s not enough light. And worse: there’s no electricity.

The Profoto line of battery ﬂash generators eliminates the dependency of electricity, without compromising the quality of the light or the famous Profoto versatility and ease of use.

If you need heavy-duty studio performance wherever you go, consider the Pro-B2 or the Pro-7b. They both give you 1200 Ws power, enough to balance even direct sunlight with two asymmetric outlets and plenty of control.

If your main objective is simplicity and low weight, we offer the AcuteB, sporting an impressive 7 f-stop range in a very small package and still capable of up to 160 ﬂashes at 600 Ws.

Just like every other Profoto generator, the battery products are compatible with the entire range of Profoto Light Shaping Tools and other accessories. So if you need extra equipment, your local dealer or rental studio can provide the tools you need.

Like all Profoto equipment the battery generators are also designed for heavy-duty use, they are durable and feature intelligently placed knobs, buttons and handles. Simplicity is king!

Never settle for anything less than your own light.

All Profoto battery generators...

– Can operate as normal studio generators when

connected, even while charging.

– Are fully compatible with the entire range of

Profoto Light Shaping Tools.

– Can be charged in a car.

Car Cigarette Lighter. (Only Pro-B2 and Pro-7b).

– Provides extreme colour and power stability from

ﬂash to ﬂash.

Battery

Needless to say, we offer very powerful battery generators, with performance surpassing many regular ﬂash units. But we also offer battery packs for those who need something a little less powerful - or when the ﬁrst priority is to travel light.

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.

We have a battery generator

for everyone

Pro-B2 - The world’s fastest

battery generator

Imagine a top-of-the-line, heavy-duty 1200Ws studio generator. Now imagine disconnecting the power cable from the wall and bringing Profoto Performance wherever you happen to be shooting. That’s the Profoto Pro-B2. With performance surpassing a lot of traditional studio ﬂashes, the Profoto Pro-B2 is our top-of-the-line battery generator. It’s all there: an 8 f-stop range, a 250 W modeling light, recycling in 0.04-1.8 s, and built-in radio sync (optional). So if you need power on the go, without comprise, the Profoto Pro-B2 is the natural choice.

Pro-7b - Studio quality light on the go

If you’re looking for both portable and truly affordable studio quality light, look no further than to the Profoto Pro-7b. With an effective 250 full power 1200 Ws ﬂashes per battery, recycling between 0.09 and 2.8 seconds, and

Tough, roomy and forgiving - introducing

the Profoto batteries

We’re using the latest sealed lead/acid technology batteries, combining maximum capacity with fast recharging and, not least important, penalty-free partial charging. Because we understand you don’t always have the time to fully charge or discharge a battery.

Additional battery cassettes for rapid replacement ensure you are never out of power, no matter how far away from an outlet you are.

– 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.

”Set it on ﬁve!”

On every lamp head there is a scale with

large white ﬁgures to help you remember

your favorite settings for each

Light Shaping Tool.

Changing tools is easy

The Profoto Light Shaping Tools are

all fastened using a virtually

unbreakable, and very easy to use,

rubber-and-metal clasp.

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.

First of all, we put the ﬂash tube outside of the lamp body, and we made every single Light Shaping Tool zoomable.The result is that every single tool offers an unlimited number of lighting effects. Secondly, the Profoto family of Light Shaping Tools is very comprehensive, ranging from traditional umbrellas and reﬂectors, to special effects equipment and the very large Giant Reﬂectors and the advanced StripLights and Spotlights. So you can choose the exact tool you need. And then zoom it to perfection. Because only you can tell what your light looks like. Your equipment should not stand in your way.

Shape your own light –

Battery

We have the tools you need

Reﬂectors, umbrellas, softboxes, grids,

spotlights, special effects, ring ﬂashes, striplights -

the Profoto line of Light Shaping Tools

offers everything you might possibly need.

The guiding is there

To guide you when zooming the

Light Shaping Tool, there is a chart on

each one telling you where to zoom it,

corresponding to the number on the lamp head,

to achieve a certain effect.

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

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.

Not only do the two system have to coincide in the same limited space, they must also cooperate perfectly, without disturbing each other. If not, the 1 /10 step adjustments and the Profoto 1/100 f-stop accuracy would not be possible.

Finally, these two systems must interface a third one: the professional photographer. That means reducing all the complicated technology to a simple and rugged set of knobs, buttons and outlets.

In conclusion, all Profoto generators:

– produce highest quality light, with extreme accuracy,

without being complicated to use. – are built using durable and ﬁnger-friendly materials. – have a carefully designed layout, in order to make

your everyday work as easy as possible. – feature maximum security safety when it comes to

high-voltage components and plugs. – give you visual, audible, as well as tactile feedback -

seeing, hearing, feeling.

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. If not more. That’s why Profoto has given the area a lot of attention, ever since we started out in the late 60s.

Simplicity is king

The main design principle at Profoto is simplicity. That goes hand in hand with durability. Like the metal-and

-rubber clasp used to mount Light Shaping Tools: you immediately understand how it works and it virtually never breaks. Things just shouldn’t be more complicated than necessary.

See it, hear it, feel it

For maximum usability, our equipment also gives you feedback from several senses: Look at a knob and SEE the current setting. Grab it and FEEL the notch. Turn it and you both FEEL and HEAR the clicks. So, even in tough, stressful environments you don’t have to look twice at the generator. You just know.

Flash equipment is a lot about

technology.

Photographers are not.

Shape your own light –

Battery

Durable outlets - for your safety

Our lamp outlets combine ease of use with extreme durability

and safety. Connection and locking of the plug requires very

little force. Still, when fastened, you can literally use the cable for

towing the generator (though it’s not advisable...).

Connect or disconect the plugs at anytime!

Rubber handles - for easy handling

Your hands might be sweaty, dirty or sticky. Still you mustn’t drop the

equipment, even when things are messy. That’s why we put sturdy,

ergonomic rubber handles on top of our generators.

No-fuss knobs - for your ﬁngers

The knobs on our generators are big and well-shaped, with a coloured

notch and large, indented figures. When turned there’s a distinct

clicking. It’s just simple, sturdy and easy to use.

Pro-B Protective Bag

34 02 02 A rugged, nylon bag for a Pro-B2 or a Pro-7b, with shoulder strap and handle. Perfect transportation or protection on location.

Accessories

Pro-B Universal power adapter

With the snap-on universal power adapter, the Pro-B2 or the Pro-7b can be used as a regular studio generator. At the same time, the generator is quickly recharged, loading an empty battery in just 2.5 hours. The adapter accepts a wide range of input voltages: 12-24 V or 90-240 V.

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. The Pro-B2 and AcuteB is available with a receiver capable of ﬁring the pack under any condition. With an effective range of 100 m , the digital radio system cannot be fooled by other strobes ﬁring, shaded, darkened studios or blinded by bright lights. Furthermore, since it works on a radio frequency and not infrared, it works around corners and through walls. Digital reliability ensures your ﬂash ﬁres every time.

Channel

selection/features

There is a special dial for setting the ﬁrst 4 radio channels (Pro-B2) or a special learn mode to set the channels. It also offer additional features like precision delay, rear curtain synch and multi-pops. On top,radio slaves are faster than most IR transmitters – important when working with a fast recycling generator like Pro-B2.

Fully compatible with all 32 channels used by Pocket Wizard, the new Pro-B2 and AcuteB can be ﬁred using any model PocketWizard transmitter or transceiver. You can also use the Sekonic L-358, L-608 or L-558 light meters, with the Pocket Wizard transmitter enabled, to ﬁre the generator.

Available in two versions for Europe (433 Mhz) and other markets (344 Mhz).
