The Profoto B30 OCF Flash Head is a robust, lightweight, and exceptionally versatile off-camera flash, designed to provide even greater power and creative flexibility for demanding film, video, and photography productions. Building upon Profoto’s heritage of excellence, the B30 offers significantly increased output, precise control, and seamless integration with the comprehensive Profoto ecosystem, making it an indispensable tool for portrait, wedding, event, and commercial photographers who require even more robust yet portable lighting solutions on location or in the studio.
Significantly Increased Power and Consistent Output:
The B30 OCF Flash Head delivers a substantial increase in power compared to its predecessors, ensuring you have ample light for a wider range of shooting scenarios – from overpowering harsh sunlight on large subjects to complex multi-light setups. It provides consistently accurate light output and stable color temperature shot after shot, guaranteeing reliable results even during rapid-fire shooting sequences or prolonged sessions.
Seamless Integration with Profoto AirX and AirTTL:
The B30 is fully compatible with Profoto’s advanced AirX and AirTTL systems. This allows for effortless wireless control from any Profoto Air Remote or via the Profoto Control app on your smartphone or tablet. Enjoy intelligent TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering for automatic exposure in dynamic environments, or switch to manual mode for precise power adjustments across an impressive 10-stop range in 0.1-stop increments. High-Speed Sync (HSS) capabilities enable you to shoot with lightning-fast shutter speeds, perfect for freezing action, controlling ambient light in bright conditions, or achieving shallow depth of field effects.
Optimized for On-Location Creativity (OCF):
As an “OCF” (Off-Camera Flash) head, the B30 is meticulously designed for portability and ease of use in the field. Its lightweight yet durable build makes it ideal for handholding, mounting on light stands, or rigging creatively. When paired with Profoto’s dedicated OCF light modifiers, it transforms into an incredibly versatile tool for shaping light quickly and efficiently in any environment, giving you maximum creative control over your illumination.
Powerful Integrated LED Modeling Light:
The B30 features a powerful integrated LED modeling light, which provides a continuous light source that is bright enough to visualize your light setup accurately, aid in focusing in low light, and even serve as a continuous light for short video clips. Its brightness is typically adjustable, offering further creative control and efficiency on set.
Robust and Durable Construction:
Built to the exacting standards of Profoto, the B30 OCF Flash Head features a robust and high-quality construction designed to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its durable housing ensures reliability on demanding shoots, both in the studio and in challenging outdoor conditions.
Flexible Power with the B30 Power Pack (Required):
The B30 OCF Flash Head connects to and is powered by the Profoto B30 Power Pack (4S1P B-Series Battery). This external power pack provides the necessary battery power for ultimate portability and manages the flash’s comprehensive power settings. This modular design offers supreme flexibility, allowing you to run multiple B30 heads from a single pack (depending on configuration and power demands) or keep the weight off the light stand for easier positioning and adjustment.
