Generators – Battery
Bringing your light
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.

Battery – Shape your own light
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.
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.

Shape your own light – Battery
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.
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.
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.
