Description — Profoto B10
The Profoto B10 Off-Camera Flash runs on a battery power source and delivers 250 watt-seconds of output through the Profoto AirTTL flash system. At just 1.5kg, it sits in a compact form factor that suits photographers working across multiple locations in a single day. The unit's adjustable color temperature — ranging from 2700K to 6500K — provides meaningful control for matching ambient light or dialing in a specific look.
A CRI 90+ rating supports accurate color rendering, and a 70° beam angle gives the light a generous spread from the source. Wireless operation is handled via a built-in 2.4GHz radio and Bluetooth receiver, so no external receiver is needed. Sync options include radio triggering at 2.4GHz, Bluetooth sync, and a manual test button. TTL metering is supported for automatic exposure control.
The Profoto Mount connects to a broad range of light-shaping tools, though no modifiers ship with the unit.
