£1,895/$2,195 More powerful than the original

Larger and 400 grammes heavier than the standard Profoto B10, the Plus is twice as powerful, at 500Ws. As with the Honey Badger Unleashed, the battery clips into the head instead of being housed in a separate power pack, but you can power the head from the mains, too.

The heads don’t feature a sync socket and the Profoto Air Remote TTL trigger costs an additional £359/$439. Profoto’s standard OCF Magnum Reflector costs a further £195/$219. Rear-panel controls are simple and intuitive. TTL, high speed sync and ‘freeze’ flash modes are available.

Performance

Recycling speeds are pretty quick, but battery life is relatively limited, at 200 full-power flashes.
