PROFOTO’S update to its B1 battery-powered monolight offers an LED modelling light with 80% more light output – equivalent to a 130W Halogen light – and a battery with 50% greater capacity, giving up to 325 full

power flashes per charge. Profoto also claims that the new B1X has the widest high-speed sync available on any flash, able to sync up to 1/8,000 sec with a nine-stop power range. This gives greater flexibility when you’re shooting outdoors in bright conditions and you want to overpower the sun.

As you’d expect, the cordless B1X supports both manual and TTL control, and it weighs in at 3kg including the battery.
