Profoto 901110 Location Kit

Compact and easy to use in outdoor HSS photography

Both batteries dead.... battery cost to expensive

The Profoto B2 is a great portable unit. What should be a big reminder is that I lead with "a great portable unit." Unfortunately the B2 might not be ready for prime time when it comes to life in the studio. I purchased the Profoto B2 specifically for on location shooting and for that exact purpose the units have performed well. When using the Profoto B2 for a indoor or studio shoot the product specifically says it can be used while plugged in. Well that is true it's not exactly what you think. Yes the charger can be plugged in while you shoot but the battery will still go down and the charger must keep pace at charging the battery or the lights die. So for instance if you are using the modeling lamps and shooting the battery will die very quickly.In addition when using high-speed synch it only functions correctly when the battery is showing 50% or greater life. I noticed that once I get to a single bar showing the high-speed synch tends to not function correctly giving me a half light half dark shot.Overall because 90% of my shooting is located based these units are perfect.

The best deal from Profoto!

Simply good
