Contact the location you’ll be bringing the return package to in advance to find out what the same day cut-off time is. Remember, local pickup spots and ship centers have varied hours!

DETAILS

The Profoto B1 500 AirTTL Location Kit contains 2 powerful off-camera flashes that are powered off of Lithium Ion batteries that last approximately 220 full-powered flashes. The sleek batteries allow for cord-free shooting on location with the bulk of an external battery pack. These flashes provide a combined 1000W/s and you can fire off 20 flashes per second in Quick Burst Mode, which is ideal for lighting and capturing action. There is also a special Freeze Mode that delivers flash durations as fast 1/19,000 of a second for capturing liquid sprays, bullets firing, and other super high speed effects. The shape of the flashes, with their built-in protective reflectors, accommodate Profoto speedrings (rentable separately) which attach to a variety of rod-based light modifiers (not included). The Profoto B1 500W/s AirTTL Location Kit is a great option for photographers who can't be tied down to outlets and is ideal for sports, portraits, high-speed effects, and product photography lighting.

NOTES

• Use the included 1/8th-PC sync cable to fire this flash from your camera. Alternatively, you may rent a radio trigger, such as the Pocket Wizard Plus X, to fire this flash from your camera. A minimum of (2) Pocket Wizards must be rented to wirelessly fire this flash without using the included PC sync cable. You may also fire this flash with the Profoto Air Remote for Canon, the Profoto Air Remote for Nikon, the Profoto Air Remote for Sony, or the Profoto Air Remote for Fuji. These are not included.

• We make every attempt to recharge this flash’s battery but may not be able to 100%. Prepare accordingly. Batteries last for approximately 220 full-powered flash pops. Rental of a spare batteries is recommended. Batteries take approximately 2 hours to fully charge.

• Also note that this flash does not come with a light stand.

• High Speed Sync mode is enabled via an Air Remote, which is rentable separately. Press "Sync" until "Hi-S" is shown. For Nikon users, make sure Auto FP is enabled (on some models, you are still limited to 1/320th of a second).
