ProHead

The modelling light is turned on and off with the black switch

[1]at the back of the head. The built-in fan is a thermostati- cally controlled 2-speed fan ensuring minimized sound level and efficient cooling in all situations. Please note that when changing modelling light, ﬂash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the generator.

The modelling light has a mini-can socket (E11). The ﬂash tube has two metal pins. When removing a ﬂash tube, pull it straight out of the sockets. When inserting a new ﬂash tube, check that the trigger-wire clasps properly around the ﬂash tube (please see mounting instructions in package). When mounting the glass cover, check that both locking springs connect properly into glass cover holes. In case the head overheats the modelling light automatically switches off. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently the model- ling light will switch on again. At the back of the head there is a thread for attaching accessories like handle (std. with head) or a ﬂex arm (Magic arm) to hold ﬁlters etc.

There are glass covers for different colour temperatures available. Loosening the handle [4] can easily alter the ﬂash

4head position. An umbrella can be mounted in the umbrella holder. The ProHead is normally delivered with a 250W

modelling lamp but can be equipped with a 500W lamp if using the longer (100mm) glass cover used on the ProTwin. Max 250W lamp when used on the Pro-B2.

Pro-B head

The Pro-B head is a small and easily transportable ﬂash head exclusively designed for the Pro-B2 and Pro-7b generators. Please note that when changing modelling light, ﬂash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the generator. The modelling light is a standard 100W lamp with an E11 socket. The ﬂash tube has two pins. When removing a ﬂash tube, pull it straight out of the sockets. When inserting a new ﬂash tube, check that the trigger-wire clasps properly around the ﬂash tube (please see mounting instructions in package). The head has no fan. Because of the heat generated there is a certain limitation to the number of ﬂashes per minute. At the back of the head there is a thread for attaching accessories like handle (std. with head) or a ﬂex arm (Magic arm) to hold ﬁlters etc.

This rapid performance is complemented by a consistent color temperature that ensures accurate skin tones and lighting consistency throughout shoots, a crucial aspect for any professional.

Another notable feature of the Pro-B2 is its built-in AirTTL technology, which allows for seamless wireless communication between the flash and the camera. This advanced system automatically adjusts the light output based on the selected camera settings, making it easier for photographers to achieve the perfect exposure without extensive manual adjustments. Additionally, the manual control option provides seasoned photographers with the flexibility to fine-tune their lighting setup according to their artistic needs.

The Pro-B2 is built for durability, featuring a robust design that can withstand the rigors of outdoor shooting. The built-in battery provides up to 200 full power flashes per charge, with an easy-to-read LCD screen displaying essential settings for quick adjustments on the go.

Moreover, the system is compatible with a wide range of Profoto light shapers, offering endless possibilities for creative lighting setups. Whether using softboxes, beauty dishes, or reflectors, the Pro-B2 enables photographers to sculpt light with precision.
