Profoto Debuts the Impressive Pro-B3 750Ws Monolight

A solution provider for all of your on-location lighting needs, Profoto introduces the powerful Pro-B3 750Ws Monolight—a battery-powered flash system that delivers superb performance, extensive customization options via modifiers, and the durability Profoto Pro-series lights are known for. Boasting the shortest flash duration in its category and a speedy recycling time, the Pro-B3 makes freezing action effortless. It features an 11-stop range with 0.1 stop increments for extensive control of lighting strength. Also, for continuous lighting, a 56W LED is featured with a high CRI of over 92 for excellent color clarity.

Before using the Pro-B3, it’s worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the differences between its Eco, Boost, and Freeze modes. Eco and Boost are nearly identical, except Boost mode’s max light output is increased by 0.2 f-stops, giving you some extra power. However, this should be used sparingly; using Eco mode greatly extends the expected lifetime of the flash capacitors. This is possible due to the capacitors only charging up to 95% in Eco rather than to full in Boost. For longevity, it’s recommended to use Eco as your default mode. Freeze mode stops movement without creating motion blur; it’s best for capturing a splash of water or a racing car. By reducing the flash duration and sacrificing consistency in color temperature, Freeze mode helps properly light suspended action.

The Pro-B3 is offered in a standard kit that provides one flash and the needed accessories. It’s also available as a duo kit, which provides two flashes, two sets of accessories, and a larger case that can fit both monolights.

Ultimately, the Pro-B3’s impressive 750W output, intuitive controls and wide compatibility with light-shaping accessories make it a strong choice for photographers in need of a reliable light source for on-location shoots.
