Freedom

 

(Optional)

 

Digital Wireless Freedom is a system of professional photographic products, which incorporate a compatible digital radio system, which eliminates the need for a PC sync cable.

Originally integrated in the Profoto Acute2R generator, digital wireless freedom is taken to a whole new level with the Pro-B2 and AcuteB. Full 32 channel/4 zone triggering offers photographers creativity and control with a new simplified interface. The Pro-B2 and AcuteB is available with a receiver capable of

firing the pack under any condition. With an effective range of 100 m , the digital radio system cannot be fooled by other strobes firing, shaded, darkened studios or blinded by bright lights. Furthermore, since it works

on a radio frequency and not infrared, it works around corners and through walls. Digital reliability ensures your flash fires every time.

Channel

selection/features

There is a special dial for setting the first 4 radio

channels (Pro-B2) or a special learn mode to set the channels.

It also offer additional features like precision delay, rear curtain synch and

multi-pops. On top,radio slaves are faster than most IR transmitters – important when working with a fast recycling generator like Pro-B2.

Fully compatible with all 32 channels used by Pocket Wizard, the new Pro-B2 and AcuteB can be fired using any model PocketWizard transmitter or transceiver. You can also use the Sekonic L-358, L-608 or L-558 light meters, with the Pocket Wizard transmitter enabled, to fire the generator.

Available in two versions for Europe (433 Mhz) and other markets (344 Mhz).
