Heavy-duty tool for the studio

  • Shape your own light

Information

This is the Profoto Pro Flash Head. It is compatible with Pro-8a Air, Pro-7a, Pro-7s, Pro-7b, Pro-B3 AirS, Pro-B2, and D4 Generators. It features a circular, heavy duty quartz flash tube which surrounds the modeling lamp. It provides even illumination and maximum light output. It accepts the complete Profoto system of modular Light Shaping Tools.

The ProHead includes a Zoom Reflector, which slides and locks at your chosen position along the head's chassis. This enables you to control the spread of the light emitted. The Zoom Reflector has a front lip, which accepts honeycomb grids without the need for a separate adapter.

The included 4m  head cable features Profoto special connectors for safety, security and convenience.  Unique Profoto cable pin design allows hot-plugging. Change heads without powering down your generator. The dual lead technology guarantees outstandingly reliable performance. All heads feature a 5/8" standard stand adapter.

Despite it's impressive power and performance, the ProHead is one of the smallest and lightest professional flash heads.

Although this head includes a frosted, UV corrected glass dome, other glass covers can be purchased separately to warm or cool and soften or sharpen the light to your personal style.

The quality of the modeling light is almost identical to the flash light, what you see is what you get.
