Profoto’s revamped B1 battery-powered location light kit gets more power and improved stamina. We put it through its paces
Power and stamina are key factors for any battery-driven location flash kit, and both get significant upgrades in Profoto’s new B1X kit, making it a worthwhile update over the popular B1. The kit comprises a flash head, mains charger, rechargeable Li-ion battery and carrying bag. The whole caboodle is small and lightweight at just 5kg, with the head itself weighing 3kg – and that’s complete with a clipon battery, which avoids the need for tethering the head to a separate power pack via a chunky cable.
