And You Thought the Gatling Gun was a Great Invention (yes, it’s the Pro-8!)

Profoto Announces New Pro-8 Electronic Flash

Speed seems to know no end in the world of photography. ISO speeds are in five-digit territory. Long lenses are blazingly fast at f/2.8. And motor drives can shoot upwards of 10 frames per second.

Well, now there’s a flash generator answering the need for increased speed, while at the same time raising power, consistency and reliability to even higher levels. Profoto, known around the world in rental shops and in photographers’ studios with the Pro-6 and Pro-7 lines, announced their revolutionary new Pro-8 digital electronic flash. This 2400-watt-second pack is capable of an amazing 20 fps at lower power levels, with duration as short as 1/12,000th of a second. Jump to the product page.
