Overview

The Profoto B10 gathers some of the best features of prior models and combines them into 1 small, powerful lighting tool. With its intuitive interface and sleek build, the B10 delivers 5x the power of the common Speedlight-style flash while being only marginally larger than one. It's Profoto's smallest light of its class, with versatility enough to keep up with working photographers and filmmakers alike. More Than a Strobe: Built-In LED for Video and More

Enjoy a 150W-equivalent continuous lighting option that's dimmable and color temperature variable. This is an ideal feature for blending with ambient light, making the B10 the perfect tool for photographers who also shoot video. The battery will power the LED for up to 75 minutes.

Full Control via Smartphone, Profoto Air Remote, and Profoto A1 Series

Set and control the B10 from the comfort of your phone. Thanks to the B10's built-in Bluetooth, you can get the most out your shooting experience when paired with the Profoto App. Touch and swipe your way to perfect lighting for up to 3 separate B10 units and preview your results. The B10 can be wirelessly triggered with the app, a Profoto Air remote (not included), or with a Profoto A1 series flash. These trigger options provide support for TTL and High Speed Sync with shutter speeds as quick at 1/8000th of a second. The B10 has a built-in infrared slave sensor which can be optically synced with flashes of other brands, though experiment at your own risk. The B10 operates optimally within the Profoto ecosystem. It does not have a sync port.

Compatibility with Existing OCF Modifiers

Sharing the same basic form factor as the Profoto B2, the B10 is compatible with modifiers from the Off camera Flash (OFC) family. Classic Profoto speed rings (and their accompanying soft boxes) will pair with this light since the circumferences are the same. However, very large and heavy soft boxes are not recommended. An included 5/8"-16 adapter will attach the B10 to a stand (not included) easily and is equipped with a port hole to accommodate umbrella-style modifiers of any brand. This adapter can be fully removed from the B10, revealing an attachment point for mounting on tripod heads.

Complete Portability and Fully Intuitive

The included battery provides up to 400 full-power flash pops or up to 75 minutes of continuous lighting. Unlike in many of the prior battery-powered Profoto models, the charging port of the battery in the B10 is not obscured when attached and you can take advantage of pass through charging for your battery the B10.

For those new to interacting with strobe heads, the B10 has a clean and minimal interface with a large display, main control dial, continuous light dial, and test button. Brightness and temperature are displayed clearly and controlled easily with the dials, while pressing the main dial takes you into the B10's settings. This is a great tool for getting to work with two different kinds of lighting, flash and continuous, in a fun and unintimidating way. Experienced shooters will enjoy the sleek workflow and beautiful design. The Profoto B10 is ideal for weddings, events, portraits, fine art, multimedia projects, class assignments, and more.
