This was my first Profoto light as I'm switching out of Paul C Buff. Looking for a system that was portable and highly versatile. You can use power while shooting so its not just battery. Everything is well made and highly intuitive. Highly recommend.. .

A lot to like in such a small lightweight package. Only downside is the lack of a dome when trying to use with Profoto modifiers. The reflectors don't really work as intended, or as well as they do with standard profoto heads. Decent battery life for a pack that weighs roughly 3 lbs. Love the ability to change power settings from the remote trigger.

Its a fantastic lighting solution when you need to chase people around and setup quick for your shots. Enough power to light most scenes, much quicker recycle times than a speedlight, and off-camera TTL is convenient for moving and shooting on the go

I know the Profoto B2 is expensive, but the results are just outstanding. The B2 is so easy to transport, setup and use. Charge time is very fast. The light is gorgeous. The B2 is lightweight, but feels so solid. If you want to stand out from the competition, buy the best and practice, practice, practice. IMO, this is the best lighting on the market.

I love the simplicity and how easy it is to use, at 250ws it's great to use anywhere anytime, I just love it. and together with the B1 trust me it is an awesome combination, I'm just super glad i purchased both, my photography went to a whole new level, and i am so glad.

Bueatiful light and fast to recycle especially outdoors, so glad I got it, no way for a small flash to keep up and to get 3 small flashes in sync would be a ton of wires and still would not get high speed sync

This is a fantastic strobe for on location shooting. It's powerful enough to match mid-day sun. Love the package with the extra battery pack which comes useful as you don't get too many shots with just one battery pack.

So easy to use. Could have more Joules but still exceptionally performing. A+

Profoto has just announced the successor to their highly successful B1 Off Camera Flash system, the B2. When Profoto showed us the pre-production model of the B2 last month, I was truly excited, not just because the Profoto B2 is a powerful (250Ws) and lightweight (less than 4 lbs) AirTTL flash s...

To shoot with the Profoto B2 is to shoot with all options at hand. Put the head on a bracket on your camera, the pack on your belt and stay moving. Or put everything on a stand and go off-camera. Shoot with TTL. Or shoot in Hybrid Mode and switch from TTL to manual control with the settings intact. Use it as a subtle fill light. Or crank up the power and take full control of the ambient light. Connect one or two flash heads. Use only the B2. Or sync it with one or several other B1 Off-Camera Flashes. Shoot with a bare head. Or choose from the widest assortment of Light Shaping Tools available and shape the B2's already beautiful light into any light you can imagine.
