UNRIVALED POWER AND PORTABILITY

Its cordless and battery-powered design liberates photographers from cumbersome power outlets and lengthy cables, enabling seamless transitions between locations and dynamic shooting movements.

This exceptional combination of power and mobility makes the B1 500 an indispensable tool for professionals working in demanding environments where speed and adaptability are paramount.
INTELLIGENT LIGHTING CONTROL
Experience ultimate creative control with the B1 500 Air's integrated TTL (Through-The-Lens) capabilities. When paired with a Profoto Air Remote TTL-C or TTL-N (sold separately), the B1 automatically calculates the perfect exposure, allowing photographers to focus purely on composition and timing. For those who prefer manual control, the power can be precisely adjusted in 1/10th stop increments over a vast 9-stop range, offering granular control from 2 to 500Ws. This duality of intelligent automation and precise manual adjustment ensures that photographers can achieve their desired lighting effects with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
HIGH-SPEED SYNC (HSS) CAPABILITY
Break free from traditional sync speed limitations with the B1 500's built-in High-Speed Sync (HSS). This groundbreaking feature allows you to use flash at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s, enabling aggressive ambient light suppression and breathtakingly shallow depths of field, even in bright sunlight. HSS is particularly invaluable for outdoor portraiture, fashion photography, and any scenario where controlling natural light and freezing fast motion are critical. The B1 500’s seamless integration of HSS empowers photographers to realize creative visions that were previously unattainable with conventional flash systems.
ROBUST DESIGN AND USER EXPERIENCE
Crafted for professional use, the Profoto B1 500 boasts a durable and resilient build quality, capable of withstanding the rigors of frequent on-location work. Its intuitive interface features a large, clear LCD display that provides immediate feedback on power settings, battery life, and other critical information. The integrated modeling light, an efficient LED, offers a clean, continuous light source for accurate light placement and previewing shadows. Furthermore, the B1 is fully compatible with Profoto’s extensive range of OCF (Off-Camera Flash) Light Shaping Tools, offering an unrivaled ecosystem of modifiers to sculpt light with precision and creativity.
