Product description

Busy photographers can literally set up their lights, slip the optional Air Remote TTL-C or TTL-N transmitter onto their camera's hot shoe and point-and-shoot without taking a reading and testing. Traditionally point-and-shoot would be a suspect term for a pro, but not if you're shooting back to back jobs on an impossible schedule with what you thought was an undoable deadline. Composition, posing etc, is of course up to the photographer, but time after time the B1 will give you a first shot exposure that's a keeper.

For years I used a combination of Speedlights and Pocketwizards for photoshoots. While they helped me achieved some great results, it was extremely rare to get through a shoot without having to figure out why the flash had mysteriously stopped firing. Since I've been shooting with the B1 and Air Remote, it's extremely rare for me to miss a shot and I've never had to stop to trouble shoot the lighting. It just works. The modifiers, such as the Profoto 4' RFI octa have also transformed my photography. I can't recommend this product enough!

Very expensive but... A very very nice product. I have both the B1 and a set of B2's and I still can't see understand Profoto's logic on their pricing In hindsight I would have purchased a second B1 instead of the B2's. As I don't do wedding photography Ok back to the B2's the product works even better than expected and very solid. The only issue I have is once you go Profoto you are signing up for very expensive accessories. While they work well. They are extremely overpriced. But... You know that going In

Great strobe!

The portability and ttl functionality make this a GREAT strobe. It is overpriced, but it takes great shots and has great construction. I didn't like the minimum 7 power when shooting HSS, but it was just something I had to get used to. More battery capacity would be nice too, but I don't shoot at max power that often that it was a huge issue. Overall it was great to shoot with a high power strobe and not have to worry about the separate power and cables.

Got this and would not power up at all and profoto never answered my emails. A lot of money to spend for nothing.

I've been using the B1 now for several months now for weddings and senior shoots and I have nothing but good to say about it. It's fast and powerful and the battery lasts a long time. Just this past week Pro Photo sent out the firmware update that allows high-speed sync at shutter speeds above 1/250 of a second! It is seriously awesome to be able to shoot at very large apertures apertures (1.4) outside! I just did a senior shoot this morning where the HSS came in handy. I LOVE this light and highly recommend it to any photographer. Profoto outdid themselves with this one!

Overhyped and oversold.

April 17, 2017

I think Profoto paid to have their foot in every door and I think our camera stores are taking advantage of us by overselling it.

I bought in store on a bit too much impulse. I wanted to do more with strobes and his baby does that and does it well. But perhaps I should have slowed down. I could have gotten 3x the light for the same price.

Many stores ONLY stock Profoto strobes and then tout it as in such separate class that nothing else is worth considering. That is utterly false. The Godox 600 style lights are also self contained and are equal to or better to Profoto on many areas. There's some good YouTube videos on this.

I do this for a living and I generally buying the best and am happy to do it. But after paying more than 3x more for this and it's wireless transmitter than the alternative, I can say I actually felt used. I don't feel like I got what I paid for. It does seem to be a good light and if it was $1000 instead of two it would be a reasonable expense over lights that do the same for $700.

SO just don't rush into it. Look at the reviews and comparisons with the GD600 lights and make your choice based on what you need rather than on fads from trade shows that are sponsored bu Profoto.
