Profoto B20 and B30
Refined to perfectionThe reliable B-series just got even better
The Profoto B20 (250 Ws) and the B30 (500 Ws) build on everything that made the B10-range the definition of what a battery-powered light could be. But they have so much more to offer. Faster performance, shorter flash duration, and an industry-leading, powerful bi-color LED, just to mention a few.
Designed for photographers who demand absolute reliability in any environment, these flashes are specifically created to handle a wide variety of conditions – with a rubberized surface that gives a secure grip, and a robustness that supports even the heaviest modifiers.
