Profoto

Thanks for showing us 

your confidence by investing in 

a Profoto Pro-B2 system. 

Formore than three decades we have sought the perfect light. What pushes us is the 

conviction that we can even offer the most demanding photographer yet better tools. 

Still weknow that we will never be able to offer the best light there is; the natural 

sunlight. But Pro-B2 comes very close. It is the best series we have ever manufactured.

Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing

program.We check that they pass the quality and capacity levels the most demanding

photographers require. For this reason our flash equipment is the standard in most

rental studios in New York and Tokyo and the most rented flash all over the world. 

Quality of Light

The system consists of different generators built and designed to meet the demands of 

the most demanding photographers on this planet. Yet the most important thing is the

light you create and it is then essential that the system offers freedom to create your

own light. The Pro-7 heads offer you this possibility in particular. The light source, both

the flash tube and the modelling light, is placed high and free in the flash head. This

makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity. The reflectors are

moveable and lock easily into place. You can move the source of light toward the focus 

of the reflector to reflect the light backwards before it is projected forward. This is not

new, of course. Our flash heads have always been designed that way. What is new, 

however,is our new glass cover, which is designed to increase precision. The ProHead 

and the ProTwin are supplied with a frosted and UV-coated cover glass, which together 

with the flash tube, produces a colour temperature adapted to daylight colour film. 

There are glass covers with varying filtration, for greater changes. The whole Pro-7 system 

is modular. Every single reflector and accessory creates its special light and the unique 

Profoto focusing system offers you a possibility to create your own light with only a few 

different reflectors.

Thanks!
