The PROFILUX PLUS 800 completes the TIPA Award 2010 winning (named Best Flash System 2010) PROFILUX
PLUS system and replaces the PROFILUX PLUS 600. It delivers 200 W/S more energy, features
8 instead of 7 f-stops, and can be remotely controlled with the new Trigger Happy
radio trigger just like any other PROFILUX PLUS unit.
Ever since its release in November 2013, the B1 off-camera flash has flown off the shelves as fast as Profoto has been able to deliver it to the stores. The most attention-grabbing features have always been the B1’s TTL metering and its cordless operation. Both of these convey the same message: the B1 is not a studio flash. It is an off-camera flash designed for on-location photography.
The TTL metering is made possible with Profoto’s patent-pending AirTTL system. Already at launch Profoto promised to continuously update the AirTTL system. One of the most frequently requested features is TTL metering with Canon’s flagship model: the Canon EOS-1D X. Today, this feature is made available free of charge through an easily installed firmware upgrade.
Profoto's BatPac is a portable “power-in-a-bag” unit, a combination of a dedicated inverter and a high capacity battery. It gives you power for Profoto D1 monolights even when shooting far away from any main socket. First of all it is specially designed for handling sophisticated high power units like Profoto’s D1 flashes; but it can be used with previous Profoto ComPact units and Acute2 flash generators as well.
Profoto’s collapsible reflectors have sturdy yet collapsible “squircle-shaped” metal frames that are equipped with two ergonomically shaped handles, which makes the reflectors much easier to fold and hold in variouspositions. Profoto Reflectors are designed with tough and durable high-quality fabrics and are available ten different versions.
These easy-to-use RFi Softboxes are available in 12 different sizes and four models: rectangular, square, octagonal and strip. In addition, users will not need to worry about what strobes they are using as the new speedring adaptors make the RFi Softboxes compatible with no less than 26 different flash brands.
Profoto announced the new ProDaylight 200 Air and ProDaylight 400 Air continuous light sources. In 2011, Profoto released the continuous light source ProDaylight 800 Air, thereby introducing the concept of light shaping to video. ProDaylight Air is an HMI light, which is ideal for most photo and video shoots.
Profoto is proud to introduce the new Umbrella XL product line.
Available in three versions – white, silver and translucent – the new Profoto Umbrella XL features a diameter of 65” with a slightly parabolic shape that allows photographers to change the light distribution by simply sliding the umbrella shaft inside the flash head. In addition, the light spread can also be adjusted by moving the Zoom Reflector back or forth, creating an even more versatile look.
The Profoto Umbrella XL fits on all Profoto flash heads and monolights. It can also be mounted on Profoto’s Cine Reflector, and thereby can be used with the new line of continuous light sources – ProDaylight 800 Air and ProTungsten 1000 Air.
There is also an optional front diffuser available to soften the light and reduce the intensity by 1.5 f/stops, practically converting the white and silver models into a fully functioning Octabox. An optional stand adapter allows photographers to mount the umbrella on a light stand, or for use with other flash brands.
