Profoto launches the new B1X Battery-Powered TTL flash

There are those of us who push the envelope, for who “good is the enemy of great.” For the great photographer, every challenge is a new opportunity to create something remarkable and to set the bar even higher. For these people, speed is more than the ability to freeze a moment of action or match the fastest camera shutter. It’s about taking light and shaping something memorable with it. These people redefine their craft every single day. And so does Profoto. This is speed redefined.

Quick to set up & easy to use
The B1X is a fully cordless light with simple, intuitive controls and a large easy-to-read LED display. So instead of tripping over cables or fiddling with sub menus or user manuals, you can focus on being creative.

Capture the moment with AirTTL
Finding the right exposure the first time can be a challenge when time is limited or the light is constantly changing. AirTTL automatically does it all for you, just point and shoot.

Shape light in broad daylight with HSS
No matter how bright the sun shines, Profoto High-Speed Sync (HSS) enables you to use your flash at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s. Overpower the sun and shape your light even with large apertures in broad daylight.

Battery power you can rely on B1X’s rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery provides up to 325 flashes at full power and tens of thousands at lowest power. And it recharges in no time.

Modelling light with power and quality
A powerful LED modelling light enables you to preview your shot and evaluate how light and shadows fall on the subject. It is also useful as main or fill light in low light situations.

Explore your light shaping potential
Photography is all about controlling and shaping light. With the B1X it is easy to take your creativity to the next level with our dedicated range of compact, lightweight OCF Light Shaping Tools.
