Information

For the portrait/wedding, in-house or part-time photographer, the ComPact family of flash generators, with its integrated lamp head, is the natural choice. Why? Because they give you the renowned Profoto light, quality and Light Shaping Tools at a very affordable price - and a really compact package. With the recent addition of the R models - with R as in radio sync - the deal got even better. The ComPact family now reaches all the way from the very handy 2.2 kg ComPact 300 to the mighty ComPact 1200R, that gives you 1200 Ws performance and wireless triggering in single unit weighing not even as much 3.9 kg. Just like every other Profoto generator the ComPacts are compatible with the entire range of Profoto Light Shaping Tools and other accessories. So if you need extra gear, you can just call your nearast dealer or rental studio. Like all Profoto equipment the ComPacts are also designed for heavy-duty use, in terms of durability as well as intelligently placed and shaped knobs, buttons and handles. Simplicity is king! So, if you think you don´t have the space or the economy for a Profoto light of your own – take a look at the Profoto ComPacts. They are for everybody. All Profoto ComPacts - comprise a generator and a lamp head in single unit - are fully compatible with the entire range of Profoto Light Shaping Tools - are available with built-in radio sync From entry-level to studio power – with or without radio sync All over the world, Profoto is well-known for serving the high-end photographer with the most advanced light shaping equipment on the market. But Profoto also offers very capable alternatives for the portrait/wedding, in-house or part-time photographer. The Profoto ComPacts all have one thing in common – they combine a generator and a lamp head in a single unit not much bigger than a regular lamp head. In short, it’s the real Profoto gear, compatible with all the Profoto accessories, but integrated in a single unit. Both the 300 Ws and 600 Ws ComPacts can be selected in a "special" version with 150 W or 250 W lamp and frosted glass cover (giving you better correspondance between flash and modeling lamp plus serving as a safety cover) or as a ecoomical version with a 100 W tungsten modeling lmap.) Even though the ComPacts look alike they are not the same. The powerful ComPact 1200R, with it´s 1200 Ws flashes and built-in wireless triggering, for example, is something quite different from the extremely compact and affordable ComPact 300. Like we say: the ComPacts are for everybody. Now let’s see which one’s for you.
