NEW: Pro-B4 1000 Air
A little over two years ago, the design team at Profoto was asked to come up with a battery generator that would redefine
on-location lighting as we know it. Now the result is here: the Pro-B4 1000 Air.
We had a clear goal when we first started working with the Pro-B4, says Göran Marén, Product Manager at Profoto. We
wanted to build the fastest, toughest battery generator there ever was. We wanted to change the game. Now, Göran and his
crew are done.
The most attention-grabbing feature of the Pro-B4 is its flash duration. Thanks to the new, patent pending Hybrid Capacitor
Technology, the Pro-B4 delivers flash durations down to 1/25,000 of a second. That is not only the shortest flash duration of
any battery generator in the world, but also of any flash pack. Period. Needless to say, this opens up creative possibilities that
yesterdays photographers could only ever dream of.
The Pro-B4 is also the worlds fastest recycling battery generator. At lower power settings it is able to fire up to 30 flashes per
second, while the longest wait on full power is less than a second. In other words: you will never have to wait for the Pro-B4.
Now how fast you can shoot depends only on your camera.
The powerful Li-Ion battery also deserves a mention. The battery can fully recharge in less than 45 minutes and can be
recharged while in use.
This should retail soon for $ 10,000 without a new head .
So , if you dont need that kind of speed , it makes the 7B and the B3 a great buy !
