Pro-7b 1200

Meeting the Challenges on Location

Working on location is always a challenge: There is not enough time. There is not enough space. There is not enough light. And worse: there is no electricity. Avoiding the inconvenience of a gas generator, you will look for battery-powered gear. Which traditionally means serious compromise in power and features. But not any more. Leaving the studio with the Profoto Pro-7b, you are bringing 250 full power 1200 Ws flashes. Along with two lamp outlets accepting the entire range of Profoto light shaping tools. And all of that in a box that recycles in just 2.8 seconds.

Use it While Recharging it

Back in the studio, using the snap-on universal power adapter, the Pro-7b can actually operate as a regular flash generator while the battery is being recharged. The adapter is fast, charging an empty battery in just 2.5 hours, and it accepts a wide range of input power: 12–24 V or 90–240 V. Included with every Pro-7b is a standard 110/230 V charger, loading the battery in 5 hours. Needless to say, the battery is replaceable. In other words, you just bring as much energy as needed. Also, because the Pro-7b battery is completely memory free, there is no penalty for partial charging.

Fine-grained Energy Control

The output power can be adjusted over a full seven f-stop range, from 18.75 Ws up to 1200 Ws, in increments of 1/6 f-stop, for really precise control. The two outlets allow the power to be split symmetrically or asymmetrically with a 2:1 ratio. Of course the unit provides consistent output flash after flash, hour after hour. Designed for the rugged conditions on location, the Pro-7b features sturdy knobs, rubber-clad grips and frames, as well as the outlets and switches conveniently placed on top.

Also, the generator is equipped with the Profoto special non-arching safety connectors, for easy connecting/disconnecting of the head at any time. Fully integrated with the Pro-7 system. The Pro-7b accepts all Pro-7 heads, including the ProHead, the ProRing, and the ProTwin head. Designed exclusively for the Pro-7b, there is also the smaller Pro-B Head: light and portable, but still equipped with a strong 100 W modeling lamp. Worth a special mention is the ProTwin head. With two separate Pro-7b generators, it gives you 2400 Ws in a single head– or faster recycling. When used with a single generator, the ProTwin Head delivers extremely short flash durations.

Pro-7 Generators

A standard in rental studios worldwide, Pro-7 offers action stopping short flash durations and super fast recycling for any type of application, including day after day of demanding fashion shooting sessions. And always with Profoto’s renowned system of modular light shaping tools at hand. Pro-7 generators are the ultimate in flexibility and control for photographers who require the finest quality of light in a performance powerpack. For the “Pro-on-the-go”, the Pro-7 is a very sound investment, since the accessories are compatible with D4, the lightweight Acute2 and ComPact lines of electronic flashes. This opens up a world of possibilities and convenience for any photographic assignment. No matter where you are, shaping the light in your own style is fast, easy and repeatable, whether you use exceptional light shaping tools such as the Profoto ProRing for fashion, or the Profoto 5’, 7’ and 8' Reflectors for a huge light-source with daylight effect.
