The ultimate in battery studio flash.
Imagine a heavy duty, 1200 Ws studio generator. Now imagine
disconnecting the power cable from the wall and bringing the
unit to wherever you happen to be shooting. With the generator
still working, as if nothing has happened. That's the Profoto
Pro-B2.
MEETING THE CHALLENGES ON LOCATION
Working on location is always a challenge: There is not enough
time. There is not enough space. There is not enough light.
And worse: there is no electricity.
A BATTERY FLASH WITH STUDIO PERFORMANCE
Avoiding the inconvenience of a gas generator, you will look
for battery-powered gear. Which traditionally means serious
compromise in power and features. But not any more.
Leaving the studio with the Profoto Pro-B2, you are bringing
200 full power 1200Ws flashes. Along with two lamp outlets
accepting the entire range of Profoto light shaping tools.
And all of that in a box that recycles in just 1.8 seconds.
USE IT WHILE RECHARGING IT
Back in the studio, using the snap-on universal power adapter,
the B2 can actually operate as a regular flash generator while
the battery is being recharged. The adapter is fast, charging
an empty battery in just 2.5 hours, and it accepts a wide
range of input power: 12-24V or 90-240V. Included with every
Pro-B2 is a standard 110/230V charger, loading the battery
in 5 hours. Needless to say, the battery is replaceable. In
other words, you just bring as much energy as needed. Also,
because the Pro-B2 battery is completely memory free, there
is no penalty for partial charging.
FINE-GRAINED ENERGY CONTROL
The output power can be adjusted over a full eight f-stop
range, from 9Ws up to 1200Ws, in increments of 1/10 or 1/2
f-stop, for really fine-grained control. The two outlets allow
the power to be split symmetrically or asymmetrically with
a 2:1 ratio. Of course the unit provides consistent output
flash after flash, hour after hour.
Designed for the rugged conditions on location, the Pro-B2
features sturdy knobs, rubber-clad grips and frames, as well
as the outlets and switches conveniently placed on top. Also,
the generator is equipped with the Profoto special non-arching
safety connectors, for easy connecting/ disconnecting of the
head at any time.
FULLY INTEGRATED WITH THE PRO-7 SYSTEM
The Pro-B2 accepts all Pro-7 heads,
including the ProHead, ProRing and ProTwin head. Designed
exclusively for the Pro-B2, there is also the smaller Pro-B
head: light and portable, but still equipped with a strong
100W modelling lamp.
Worth a special mention is the ProTwin head. With two separate
Pro-B2 generators, it gives you 2400 Ws in a single head -
or faster recycling. When used with a single generator, the
twin head delivers extremely short flash durations.
When using the new ProHead with a new low voltage fan the
fan will work when used on Pro-B2. This allows for the use
of a 250w modelling lamp.
