Great Value at current price. Light weight. I am OK with the wires and the pack since that gives some level of support to the light stand. A drawback to using this is; you cannot use as many modifiers since the length/size of the light is very short and cannot support the same weight as a B1 or D1 light. This is actually my 2nd B-2 kit.

You will love the ease of transport ... 2 batteries, I mean the more light the better, but these are awesome!

I have two Profoto B1 heads and wanted to do more with edge lighting on my sports subjects. The B2 250 AirTTL location kit fits the bill perfectly. The Profoto Air Remote works with both systems. I really love how everything fits in a small bag for travel. There is a lot of power in this unit. Having the included extra battery gives me confidence that I will be able to shoot without worry.

I've been using three B1 heads for a year or two and debated on the "need" for additional (less powerful) lights. But I've found them to perform wonderfully for accent lights on interiors. MUCH smaller package than my big Pelican case, so I'm looking forward to using just these on a location headshot session this week. I will also be trying them with large (silver) umbrellas for an upcoming group shot. Each head can be programmed for its own channel so that you can adjust them just like separate B1 units. Since they are a stop less powerful I haven't used them in a softbox yet, but as a gridded accent or a hard rim with barn doors. Very location-friendly!

So you buy a B2 set and figure out the second head is useless due to the short cable included with kit. You have to figure how high the first head will be on a stand or hand held system which if your just using one light is fine. But add the second head and its not going to be usable unless its on the ground because the cable is not long enough for a second head in any scenario that I can figure out unless your shooting a hamburger out in the field. So you find yourself trying to buy a extension cable only to find it is ($) more dollars? How can something cost ($) bucks require an additional ($) bucks just to get going? Total rip off. I am sending my B2 kit back and just getting 2 B1 which have no cables and are far more logical unless you just need small heads to fit a specific need. 3 B1 heads will be my set up for sure. Although I wonder if I should just abandon Profoto after talking to the rep who could have cared less that I spent ($) on their equipment (b1 and b2 kit) and was not satisfied. Elichrom in the future? We will see. Adorama however has been awesome and I will continue my business with them.

I have a Profoto B1 and the B2 kit is a welcome addition! The quality of light is outstanding. Now Profoto just need to get AIR control for SONY and I would be even more happy!!

I highly recommend the Profoto B2's for location portrait shoots. Unfortunately Profoto does not currently offer TTL/HSS for Sony, which limits my ability to be more creative and competitive. For standard portrait sessions, they are perfect for travel, as they are light weight and I can carry a light and shoot by myself if my assistant isn't available.

Perfect location kit for my needs
By JARED T.
Compact, bright and just what I needed for shooting on location. I wouldn’t have purchased anything else and was glad Adorama had this in stock!
Pack light and give yourself maximum mobility on location with the versatile, battery-powered Profoto B2. The B2 is a powerful option, 5 times more powerful than an average on-camera flash. And it's made for light shaping with a dedicated range of OCF Light Shaping Tools that are designed for maximum mobility and ease of use.
Its small, lightweight pack and head help you stay one step ahead of the action. They fit neatly into a handy carrying bag and provide you with a portable flash that weighs a shade over 2 kg (4.4 lbs). The B2 is most definitely not a stay-at-home flash. It offers automatic TTL shooting that shines brightest in challenging lighting conditions and HSS that enables you to control and shape light even in broad daylight. You can respond to any situation by using it either on or off camera. You're free to work without restraint or limitation and move freely, so it's ideal for busy events where you need maximum flexibility or when you don't have assistants to help out.
- Battery Charger 2.8A -
The Battery Charger 2.8A is a standard charger that fully recharges the B1's battery in two hours, the B1X's battery in just over two hours and the B2's in one hour. All of our off-camera flash kits include a battery charger but all of our battery chargers can also be bought separately.
- Li-Ion Battery -
Get a spare battery and save yourself the trouble of having to worry about running out of power. The Li-Ion Battery for B2 provides up to 215 flashes at full power and thousands at lower power. Our Li-Ion batteries are UN-certified so you can take them on a plane, no matter what your destination.
