Since the B1 hit the streets, Profoto has continued to grow the OCF line and today introduces the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pp901028.html\">B1X<\/a>, designed to give even more versatility to a photographer on the go.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most photographers realize that having the freedom of battery powered lighting will help them create the images they imagine no matter the location. This has been reflected in the \u201csmall flash\u201d movement of recent years. The main issue with small flashes though is limited power when working against existing light. This often leads to \u201ctrees\u201d of small flashes linked together on stands to create enough light to match or overpower daylight. With 500 watt seconds, the B1X is roughly equivalent to 10 small flashes, eliminating the need for elaborate strobe rigs as a single unit sits nicely on top of a light stand or in an assistant\u2019s hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/901027-901028-901094_Profoto-B1X-500-AirTTL-front.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/901027-901028-901094_Profoto-B1X-500-AirTTL-front.jpg 538w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/901027-901028-901094_Profoto-B1X-500-AirTTL-front-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the sun is setting or you need to work in the shade or just add fill in a dark bar or restaurant. The B1X shows it\u2019s versatility here with a 9 f-stop range, allowing for a tiny pop of light just where you need it. \u00a0When working quickly with changing light, the AirTTL can be a the difference between getting a shot or getting the shot you really want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s talk about HHS. As you know, with Profoto High-Speed Sync (HSS) it\u2019s easy to get those shallow DOF shots even in the brightest light as you are able to sync at shutter speeds up to 1\/8,000s. The B1X takes this to the next level allowing HSS in the full 9 f-stop range for all compatible cameras, how many times have you needed just a stop more shutter to get the look you want in dim location?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty of the B1X is how it allows photographers to just shoot what they imagine, removing the restriction of cords, power, and even sync speeds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick and easy to set-up, a photographer, \u00a0whether they use Canon, Nikon, Sony or Olympus can set the B1X in position, and focus on interacting with their subject while the AirTTL does the math so to speak. For those times when TTL is not the right option, use AirTTL to get a based expose and swap to manual right from the controller on your hot-shoe, the B1X saves the last exposure so you don\u2019t have to start from scratch. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/901027-901028_Profoto-B1X-500-AirTTL-back.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"565\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/901027-901028_Profoto-B1X-500-AirTTL-back.jpg 565w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/901027-901028_Profoto-B1X-500-AirTTL-back-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working with fast moving subjects, the B1X can shoot to to 20 frames per second with a recycling speed as quick as \u00a00.05 seconds and a flash duration as short as 1\/19,000s (recycling times range from \u00a0of 0.05-1.9s depending on power).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many times, location photographers have only minutes to get the shot they need. The simple, easy to read LED display on the B1X makes setting up quick and most functions can be controlled from the Air Remote, allowing you to set the light up and stay with your camera and subject for those precious few moments you have. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may be be obvious that a battery powered light is ideal when standing on the beach, in the middle of the desert or even on the streets of a busy city, having no cords to trip over or outlets to search for can save time and frustration for many types of photographers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay with the couple at a wedding, remove tripping hazards when photographing children, don\u2019t bother the tech in a recording studio as an artist is working or even in a corporate environment where you in the past would need to plug into a power strip with the office manager\u2019s computer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with the B1, you don\u2019t need to carry a huge battery to get a handful of shots. In fact, the B1x will fire about 325 shots at full power (that\u2019s roughly 50% more than the B1) and thousands of shots at lower power settings. The batteries are small, easily swappable and quickly charged allowing you to shoot all day on a few batteries in many cases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The B1X improves on the B1\u2019s LED modeling light by making it 80% brighter which will help when you are working in the sun or if you need help focusing in very low light, the CRI has also been increased to give nicer color rendition in your BTS videos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Profoto OCF line is not just the battery powered flashes, it also includes an array of light shapers designed to be lightweight for the location photographer. While all of the standard Profoto Light Shapers work with the B1X these shapers are ideal for location work. Along with the B1X, Profoto has announced two new light shapers for the OCF line, adding some hard light options to the line. Both reflectors offer variable zoom angles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32689 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/100772_Profoto-OCF-Zoom-Reflector-profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/100772_Profoto-OCF-Zoom-Reflector-profile.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/100772_Profoto-OCF-Zoom-Reflector-profile-260x300.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>The Profoto OCF Zoom Reflector<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pp901028.html\">OCF Zoom Reflector<\/a> adds the ability to vary the angle of light spread and doubles the effective light output at two meters range.
