Battery – Profoto B2

High-voltage power controlled by

sophisticated electronics

Building a modern flash generator raises a lot of challenges. To start with, generators contain two separate techno- logical systems: There are microprocessors and inte- grated circuits for control, external interfaces and display. And there are also powerful high-voltage components that generates the actual flash.

Not only do the two system have to coincide in the same limited space, they must also cooperate perfectly, without disturbing each other. If not, the 1/10 step adjustments and the Profoto 1/100 f-stop accuracy would not be possible.

Finally, these two systems must interface a third one: the professional photographer. That means reducing all the complicated technology to a simple and rugged set of knobs, buttons and outlets.

In conclusion, all Profoto generators:

–produce highest quality light, with extreme accuracy, without being complicated to use.

–are built using durable and finger-friendly materials.

–have a carefully designed layout, in order to make your everyday work as easy as possible.

–feature maximum security safety when it comes to high-voltage components and plugs.

–give you visual, audible, as well as tactile feedback - seeing, hearing, feeling.
