Profoto heads are as practical as they are elegantly simple. All Acute2 and Acute heads accept the same modular light shaping tools. The basic Profoto Acute2 modular flash head design features a circular, heavy duty, Quartz flash tube and UV coated protection dome that surrounds both the flash tube and the standard 250-watt modeling light. It provides even illumination and maximum light output. All lamphead cables feature Profoto special connectors for arc-proof performance and the ultimate in reliability. All heads are also supplied with a 5/8' stand adapter to mount the units to any standard light stand.

Acute2 units take advantage of the mini-can bases modeling light, which is standard with professional lighting systems. Using this standard bulb is an advantage to any photographer who travels, as they are readily available in a variety of voltages for use all over the world.

Optimized Color Output
Acute2 heads produce a color temperature of 5400 degrees Kelvin standard. There are other options that are also available by replacing the protection dome with a more heavily coated dome. There is an additional dome available that offers additional warming in a 300-degree increment, for a color temperature of 5100 degree, or uncoated dome which gives a 300-degree colder light.

Acute2 Ringflash
Cat# 501-203, Int’l# (33 05 13)

Includes: Special Mounting Bracket, Lamp Cable 12 ft. (3.5m) Max = 2400Ws. Popular with fashion photographers for freely positioned, direct, and detailed light without harshness. Excellent for small interiors such as automobile photography, or table top applications. The ringflash fits all Acute2 and Acute generators, and is an entirely mobile source of light. The adjustable tripod mount bracket and wide interior (100mm diameter) allows for fitting all types of cameras and lenses in many formats.

Optional accessory reflectors expand the ringflash’s capabilities further. Optional Softlight Reflector increases the light source, for fewer sharp shadows. Optional Close-up Reflector focuses the light source 20" (50cm) in front of the camera lens. With smaller objects, the effect is completely shadow-free.

Maximum charge is 9600Ws per minute, which equals four flashes per minute @ 2400Ws, 8 flashes @ 1200Ws, 16 flashes @ 600Ws, 32 flashes @ 300Ws, or 64 flashes per minute @ 150Ws.

 

Softlight Reflector
Cat# 505-511, Int’l# (10 06 42)
Fully compatible with the Acute, Acute2 and Pro7 ringflash. Achieves softer, shadow-free “beauty effect” by enlarging the ring flash area.

 

Close-up Reflector
Cat# 505-512, Int’l# (10 06 43)
Fully compatible with the Acute, Acute2 and Pro7 ringflash. Concentrates ring flash into smaller area 20" (50cm) in front of flash for close-up and macro applications.

  Acute2 Headszoom in Acute2 Twin Head
Cat# 501-202, Int’l# (90 06 77)
Similar to the Pro Acute2 head, but features two U-shaped flash tubes. You can attach two generators to achieve twice the energy (a total of 4800Ws) or to get a shorter recycling time. When fitting it to one generator, extremely short flash durations are possible. Fits all Acute2 and Acute generators. Fan cooled. Includes: Magnum Reflector, UV-coated Special Flashtube, 500W halogen modeling lamp, Uncoated, removable, Frosted Glass Cover, Transport Cap (plastic), Stand Adapter and Special Twin Lamp Cable 16 ft.
