Shooting on location has lots of challenges. One of the most significant challenges arises before you even go there. How much gear to bring? Bring too much, and you're weighed down by lights and cables. Not enough and the chances of capturing the image you'd hoped for might be compromised.
That's why Profoto created the Profoto B10, their smallest and most lightweight off-camera flash ever. With five times the power of a speedlight packed into the size and shape of a camera lens, the Profoto B10 makes it easy to be creative with light anywhere. In addition, the B10 is more than just a flash. It's also a bright and dimmable continuous light that you can use to light both stills and videos. And the adjustable colour temperature makes it easy to blend with ambient light.
Compatibility with Profoto's light shaping tools expand your creative opportunities further. You can choose any tool from the lightweight OCF family or select between over 120 light shaping tools available in the full Profoto range. The tools let you create any mood or feeling with light.
The clean and minimal interface makes the B10 easy to use straight from the box. The battery is quick and easy to replace, and you can also charge it while it's in use. If you have an assistant, the B10 is light enough to be used hand-held and if you set it up by yourself you can just as easily mount it on a camera tripod or on a light stand.
You can trigger and control the B10 from any Profoto Air Remote (Sold Separately), or from the Profoto A1/A1X (Sold Separately). Connect to the Profoto app and you can view and control all the settings from your smartphone screen, experience creative capture with your smartphone, and download all the latest upgrades.
- Off-Camera Flash
- Max Energy: 250 Ws
- Size of a Medium-sized Lens
- Also a Continuous Light
- Now compatible with iPhone*
- The Profoto B10 flash series is now compatible with iPhone*.
- The Profoto B10 flash series consists of small, lightweight flashes, with a hundred times more power than a LED light. With a B10, a smartphone photographer can now not only overpower the sun with his or her phone, but also produce images ready for commercial use.
- One difference in synchronizing external flash to a mobile device compared to traditional capturing devices like DSLR or MILC, is that smartphone cameras require a much more flexible flash-length on different shutter speeds. This makes it more difficult to fire the flash at the exact time and length to light the image.
- The proprietary "Profoto AirX" method, which grants the user to clock synchronize Bluetooth devices, is a key technique to enable external flash for mobile, since the flash must fire at the exact right time and length with the camera to get the shot. With Bluetooth synchronization, the user can take photos at 1/25,000 second exposure time, and still be able to sync the full power of the flash tube with it.
- The smartphone connectivity for the Profoto B10 flash series is available for iPhone users, and B10 owners can upgrade their firmware for free to connect it to their
- smartphone. This requires the Profoto app, which is free to download from the App Store.
- Supercharging the iPhone with a professional flash makes the smartphone an exciting addition to professional photographers' toolboxes, as well as allowing other image creators the opportunity to start shaping the light in their images.
