Profoto battery performance for the road

At the upcoming Photokina trade fair, Profoto will launch a breakthrough battery flash generator, the AcuteB, setting new standards for lightweight, portable flash equipment.

Comparing to our highly popular battery generators the Pro-B2 and the Pro-7b, the new AcuteB 600 generator measures only 19 x 19 x 13 cm, including the handle, and weighs a mere 4.9 kg. Still, it features a maximum output of 600 Ws and a power range of 7 f-stops. And it holds – per battery – up to 160 full power flashes. That’s a lot of flash power in a very small and portable package.

Optionally, the generator also includes a built-in radio sync unit, compatible with the PocketWizard system. The AcuteB 600 generator, charger and lamp head, plus a Reflector, a tripod and a bag, will be sold as a kit.
