What’s New About the Pro-B3 750Ws Flash and Beauty Dish?
The Profoto Pro-B3 750Ws Flash offers an incredibly fast flash duration and can light even the darkest scenes with a 750W flash. Capable of operating fully on battery power, the Pro-B3 is excellent both in the studio and on location.
Massive 750Ws Power
750Ws gives photographers more than enough light for nearly any image you could dream up, regardless of how little ambient light is present. If your creativity can think of it, the Pro-B3 Flash can help you get there. With compatibility with a wide range of light and color-shaper accessories, the sky is the limit for this flash. This flash is coined as the “Ultimate On-Location Flash,” and you can easily see why when you consider the power of the flash combined with the excellent battery life and portability. For situations where you don’t need maximum power, the Pro-B3 flash has an energy range of 11 f-stops at 0.1 f-stop control increments, giving you fine-tuned precision over the amount of light in your scene.
Fast Recycling Time and Shortest Flash Duration
Boasting the shortest flash duration in its category, the Profoto Pro-B3 flash will illuminate the scene at all the best moments. You don’t need to think twice about firing the shutter early. Often, this can be the difference between getting the shot and completely missing the best moment. In Eco mode, the flash has a recycling time of 0.01-2s; in sBoost/Freeze mode, the flash recycles from 0.01-2.3s. Additionally, the flash can fire as fast as 1/75,000 seconds, which is great for freezing in (extremely!) fast-moving subjects.
Battery Powered Portability
The Profoto Pro-B3 flash is equipped with a high-powered 80.4Wh battery that provides more than enough power for most on-location shoots. You can expect up to 250 full-power flashes or 60 minutes of continuous light on a single charge. When you need more power, the flash can charge fully in just 90 minutes, meaning you’ll spend less time waiting and more time being creative. Considering the impressive 750Ws of power, this battery life is excellent compared to many competitors and will ensure that you don’t need to worry about your equipment dying at the best moment.
Who Should Buy the Pro-B3 750Ws Flash?
The Profoto Pro-B3 750Ws Flash is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professional photographers. Regardless of where you like to shoot, this light is a great choice for both the studio and on-location. The battery power is plenty to last for a single shoot, and a quick recycle time is excellent for sports and other fast-moving action.
Comparable Profoto Lights
For those looking for a studio-specific light, the Profoto Pro-D3 1250Ws Monolight gives you a little more power. Of course, at the cost of battery power. Outside of the increase in power, the Pro-D3 is very similar in most other features to the Pro-B3. Indeed, both lights look strikingly similar. The D3 also includes an 11 f-stop range with 0.1 f-stop precision. As well as, three different lighting modes (ECO, Boost, and Freeze), just like the B3. When it comes down to deciding, pick up the D3 if you want a light solely for the studio or the brand new B3 if you’re looking for something that can travel on-location with you, especially when you won’t have easy access to power.
Conclusion
If you’re a photographer who values versatility, quick setup, and on-location shooting. In that case, the Profoto Pro-B3 will be the perfect light to add to your kit. With 750Ws of power and a best-in-class recycle time, you can ensure enough light in your kit for any scene, no matter how dark it is or how fast the action moves. If you use flash in your photography, don’t miss out on this top-tier product from Profoto.
