Elevate your photographic prowess with the Profoto B1 500 Air TTL Duo Kit, a comprehensive lighting solution engineered for discerning professionals. This kit provides unparalleled versatility and convenience, empowering photographers to achieve stunning results in any environment. Combining cutting-edge technology with robust design, the B1 500 Air TTL units redefine on-location lighting, offering speed, precision, and the signature Profoto light quality that distinguishes your work.
UNMATCHED POWER AND PORTABILITY
The Profoto B1 500 Air TTL units are a testament to powerful, yet portable, lighting. Each head delivers 500Ws of power, providing ample light output for a vast array of photographic challenges, from detailed portraits to expansive environmental shots. Unlike traditional studio monoblocs, the B1 units operate entirely without cables, powered by high-capacity, interchangeable Li-Ion batteries. This freedom from outlets and tangled wires revolutionizes workflow, allowing for rapid setup and repositioning on location, whether you're shooting in a bustling city street or a remote landscape. The intuitive controls and clear display ensure that adjusting power and settings is a seamless experience, even in dynamic shooting scenarios.
SEAMLESS TTL INTEGRATION
Experience the revolutionary convenience of TTL (Through The Lens) metering, effortlessly translating camera light measurements into perfect flash exposures. The B1 500 Air TTL integrates seamlessly with popular camera systems, eliminating the need for tedious manual power adjustments when light conditions change or subjects move. This intelligent automation accelerates your workflow significantly, allowing you to focus on composition and capturing the decisive moment. For situations demanding maximum creative control, the units also offer manual mode, providing precise 1/10th stop power increments across a wide 9-stop range, from 2-500Ws. This duality ensures that both speed and precision are always within reach.
HIGH-SPEED SYNC CAPABILITY
Break free from traditional sync speed limitations with High-Speed Sync (HSS). The Profoto B1 500 Air TTL units enable you to shoot with flash at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s, far beyond the typical camera-sync speed. This groundbreaking feature empowers photographers to control ambient light more effectively, allowing for wider apertures in bright conditions to achieve shallow depth of field, or to freeze fast-moving action with unparalleled clarity. HSS opens up new creative avenues, extending your control over light and motion in ways previously unimaginable with conventional flash systems.
ROBUST AND RELIABLE CONSTRUCTION
Designed for the rigors of professional use, the Profoto B1 500 Air TTL units boast a durable and ergonomic construction. Each unit is built to withstand the demands of frequent travel and varied shooting environments. The integrated reflector and robust housing provide protection while maintaining a compact form factor. The intuitive interface and responsive controls are engineered for efficiency, ensuring that adjustments are quick and precise, even in high-pressure situations. Every component, from the battery lock to the stand adapter, reflects Profoto’s commitment to quality and longevity.
AIR REMOTE CONNECTIVITY
Central to the B1's integrated ecosystem is the Profoto Air Remote. This advanced radio-sync system offers unparalleled reliability and a remarkable operating range of up to 300 meters (1,000 feet). The Air Remote not only triggers the flashes wirelessly but also allows for full control of power settings, HSS, and TTL modes directly from your camera's hot shoe. This eliminates the need to constantly approach each light for adjustments, saving precious time and maintaining focus on your subject. The Air Remote ensures a consistent and stable connection, providing peace of mind during critical shoots.
EXTENSIVE LIGHT SHAPING OPTIONS
Profoto’s philosophy centers around the creation of superior light, and the B1 500 Air TTL is fully compatible with the extensive range of Profoto Light Shaping Tools. From softboxes and umbrellas to grids and reflectors, the B1's integrated light stand mount and quick-release mechanism facilitate rapid attachment and modification of various modifiers. This vast ecosystem of accessories enables photographers to sculpt, diffuse, and direct light with exceptional precision, achieving any desired lighting effect to perfectly complement their creative vision.
