Speed
The B1 is fast and will easily keep up with your camera, shooting at speeds of up to twenty flashes per second.
Speed also equals short flash duration. With the B1, you will not only be able to capture the moment. You will also be able to freeze it in time with absolute sharpness.
Also note that the B1 has High-Speed Sync (HSS) functionality, giving you full control of the available light.
TTL
The B1 is the world’s first off-camera flash to do TTL with both Canon and Nikon cameras.
Canon shooters attach the Air Remote TTL-C to their camera’s hot shoe, Nikon shooters the Air Remote TTL-N.
Then point and shoot, and the off camera flash will automatically adjust its light output to provide you with the perfect exposure.
Light Shaping Tools
The B1 has a built-in reflector that creates a wide and even light spread that stands well on its own.
There is an assortment of compact and portable OCF Light Shaping Tools to choose from, including softboxes, grids and snoots. In addition, there is the entire family of Profoto Light Shaping Tools that have made Profoto the leader in professional photography.
Without Cords
Do you remember the feeling when you first learned how to ride a bicycle? Remember how the world seemed to open up, how you were suddenly able to go anywhere and do anything? then you know what it is like shooting with the battery-pwered and wirelessly synced and controlled B1.
Shoot indoors or shoot outdoors, miles away from the nearest wall outlet. Please the lights wherever you want. Your imagination sets the limits, not the length of our cables.
The B1 is not a stay-at-home flash. Its TTL function shines the brightest in challenging lighting conditions. Its cordless operation unleashes your creativity and makes it want to run free in the wild.
