Profoto proudly presents the Pro-B3, a groundbreaking 750ws battery flash designed to meet the demands of the world’s best action and extreme sports photographers. With its heavy-duty casing and industrial grade components, it is engineered for photographers who are dedicated to capture professional images in the most remote and challenging locations.

Power and flexibility

The Pro-B3 delivers an impressive 750Ws of pure battery- driven flash power, providing more than enough lighting strength to create any effect, regardless of where your work takes you. But the Pro-B3 doesn’t stop there. It also offers fast recycling times ranging from 0.01 to 2.3 seconds, and an extremely short flash duration down to 1/75,000s for capturing crisp action shots without motion blur. “The unique combination of features that the Pro-B3 brings ensures that you will always get that perfect shot, says Göran Marén, Product Manager.”

Reliability and creative freedom

Profoto’s extensive and portable light shaping system is fully compatible with the Pro-B3, giving photographers limitless creative options. Additionally, the Pro-B3 is equipped with TTL and HSS for seamless integration with your camera.

The Pro-B3 is designed with the professional action and sports photographer in mind. It features a high-capacity Li-Ion battery, ensuring that you never miss a shot. The flash unit also boasts a robust, rubberized housing and high-quality components, like the user interchangeable quartz flash tubes and long-life capacitors. “The Pro-B3 has been designed and built to withstand years and years of professional use, continues Göran Marén, Product Manager.”

Its intuitive user interface and large, high-resolution display make it easy to operate, even in the most challenging conditions. “The whole idea with the Pro-B3 is that it’s only the imagination of the photographer that should set the limits for what you can do creatively, not the gear, concludes Göran Marén, Product Manager.”
