Follow our short guide below to find the right off-camera flash for your need.

Why choose the B10?

The B10 is a perfect fit for many on location shoots. The size and shape of a medium-sized camera lens makes it easy to bring in any camera bag, and with a flash that is five times more powerful than a speedlight it is easy to create and shape light in almost any location. In addition, the B10 is more than a flash, it is also a powerful continuous light with capability to light both stills and videos. Profoto’s Bluetooth-enabled technology AirX, enables you to unleash the full power of the B10 when capturing with your smartphone.

Why choose the B10X & B10X Plus?

The B10X and B10X Plus are multipurpose flashes for shooting video or still. Both provide ease-of-use, straight out of the box. Batteries are quick and easy to switch in and out and can be charged while in use. B10X and B10X Plus also include improved useful features. Like increased continuous light output from 2500lm to 3250lm. Just as for the B10, Profoto’s Bluetooth-enabled technology AirX, enables you to unleash the full power of the flashes when shooting with your smartphone.

Why choose the B1X?

The B1X is a proven professional workhorse and it is the best choice of flash for the toughest on location shoots. The robust housing can take a beating and while the power of the flash is comparable with the B10 Plus, the B1X is both faster and more enduring. The B1X battery also holds more shooting capacity in each charge. A large handle on the back and a big knob for the stand adapter makes the B1X easy to handle even when wearing gloves.
