Profoto B1X 500 AirTTL 2-Light - Location Kit

Profoto continues to refine and surprise us with an enhanced version of the B1 battery-powered monolight, the B1X. The B1X 500 AirTTL 2-Light Location Kit includes two B1X flash heads with 80% brighter LED modeling lights and batteries with 50% greater capacity (325 full power flashes) and High-Speed Sync that's able to use the full 9-stop power range. Also included are an AC battery charger, a car charger, and a Backpack M to store and transport it all. All of the familiar professional and convenience features we've come to expect from Profoto are onboard. The B1X has the same dense, durable polymer housing, integrated 77-degree reflector, built-in receiver compatible with Air Remote TTL remotes, and intuitive highly visible controls and display.

The B1X is also capable of High Speed Sync. HSS is the technical term for syncing flash with shutter speeds shorter than the so-called x-sync, typically 1/250 of a second. It's a useful tool for controlling ambient light and for freezing action. Profoto uses a patent-pending technology that emits an extremely fast series of flash pulses. A simple button-press activates HSS Mode allowing you to shoot at shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000 of a second. The B1X 500 AirTTL employs an improved, high-capacity, exchangeable lithium-ion battery that gets up to 325 flashes on a 1.5-hour charge with the included 4.5A quick charger. The battery has fuel gauge-type LEDs that make monitoring remaining power easy. The B1X's modeling light is LED to put less strain on the battery. It provides the equivalent output of a 130W halogen bulb and will run for 120 minutes on a full charge.

Lithium-Ion Battery for B1 and B1X AirTTL Flash Heads from Profoto will give you up to 325 full-power flashes and thousands of minimum power flashes on a 2.5-hour charge from the 2.8A multi-voltage charger. The 4.5A quick charger shortens that time to 1.5 hours. Fuel-gauge-type LEDs on the battery and both the optional chargers allow you to monitor the charging progress.

The Fast Battery Charger 4.5A for B1 500 AirTTL from Profoto will charge the B1's Lithium-ion battery in 1 hour. The multi-voltage charger features LED indicators to easily monitor charge status.

The Car Charger 1.8A for B1 500 AirTTL from Profoto will charge the B1's Lithium-ion battery from a car's 12V (cigarette lighter) accessory outlet in 2 hours.

Profoto's Backpack M for D1 Air or B1 AirTTL is a sturdy ballistic nylon pack with room for two B1 or D1 flash heads and accessories such as chargers, Air transmitters and expendables. The interior has padded compartments in gray nylon. Besides shoulder straps the pack has a top handle and exterior pockets for light stands.
