Quality of Light, Thanks | Profoto Pro-B2 guide

Profoto – Welcome! Pro -B2

Thanks for showing us

your conﬁdence by investing in

a Profoto Pro-B2 system.

Formore than three decades we have sought the perfect light. What pushes us is the conviction that we can even offer the most demanding photographer yet better tools. Still weknow that we will never be able to offer the best light there is; the natural sunlight. But Pro-B2 comes very close. It is the best series we have ever manufactured. Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing program.We check that they pass the quality and capacity levels the most demanding photographers require. For this reason our ﬂash equipment is the standard in most rental studios in New York and Tokyo and the most rented ﬂash all over the world.

Quality of Light

The system consists of different generators built and designed to meet the demands of the most demanding photographers on this planet. Yet the most important thing is the light you create and it is then essential that the system offers freedom to create your own light. The Pro-7 heads offer you this possibility in particular. The light source, both the ﬂash tube and the modelling light, is placed high and free in the ﬂash head. This makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity. The reﬂectors are moveable and lock easily into place. You can move the source of light toward the focus of the reﬂector to reﬂect the light backwards before it is projected forward. This is not new, of course. Our ﬂash heads have always been designed that way. What is new, however,is our new glass cover, which is designed to increase precision. The ProHead and the ProTwin are supplied with a frosted and UV-coated cover glass, which together with the ﬂash tube, produces a colour temperature adapted to daylight colour ﬁlm. There are glass covers with varying ﬁltration, for greater changes. The whole Pro-7 system is modular. Every single reﬂector and accessory creates its special light and the unique Profoto focusing system offers you a possibility to create your own light with only a few different reﬂectors.

Thanks!
