I first had a chance to play around with the new Profoto B10 flash<\/a>\u00a0 (B&H<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\/ Amazon<\/em><\/a>) during\u00a0the promotional release event at the Alyeska resort in Alaska. What do I think of it?<\/p>\n Before we get there, I have to clarify that I\u2019m not specifically a fan of Profoto just because of the brand name. I\u2019m a fan of quality. I\u2019m a fan of ease of use. That\u2019s where I\u2019m coming from – I love quality. I like Profoto for all these reasons, and I loooove this little flash.<\/p>\n 250 Ws gives you a decent enough punch of light. It\u2019s a stop less than the B1, but the B10 is half the size of the B1. It really is compact, and you could easily find a slot for it in your camera bag. And like all Profoto gear, easy to use.<\/p>\n The battery too is compact. You could easily slip it into your back pocket. And it is rated for 400 full pops. Nice!<\/p>\n Here is the full\u00a0review: Profoto B10 flash<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Profoto B10 can be ordered via these affiliate links:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s obvious that Profoto listened to all the criticism of the B1 and B2, and they addressed everything. This flash is perfect!<\/p>\n You wanted the B1 to be able to charge while shooting? Well, the B10 allows that!<\/p>\n You liked the B2 but hated the cable and the weight? That\u2019s fixed too.<\/p>\n I really liked using the modeling light of the B1 as a video light for romantic portraits at a wedding – but it was a bit of a squeeze, because the modeling light wasn\u2019t always powerful enough. Weeeeell … the B10 can act as a powerful video light … with variable WB! This means I will be selling my video lights that I have.<\/p>\n There is a Profoto app with which you can control the flash and the video light (and WB of the video light.) You can use the app to fire the flashes for a test shot on your phone to help pre-visualise what you will be getting in the final image.\u00a0The app allows you quick updates to the firmware! \u00a0The app is currently only for iOS \/ iPhone, but we were promised the Android version will follow soon.<\/p>\n Oh … this might not sound all that exciting, but there is a Profoto Core Backpack S<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>), that is perfect for the B10, and could take up to 3 of these units.\u00a0 This backpack is seriously well thought out. The Backpack S comes standard with the 2-light set.<\/p>\n All considered, I really can\u2019t find a single thing to criticize about this flash \u2014 Profoto listened and delivered.<\/p>\n Speaking to the Profoto USA people, they told me the A1 sold much faster and in bigger volume than they anticipated. In that case, I do believe the Profoto B10 is going to do even better. This is going to be a VERY popular flash.<\/p>\n #profotoUSA \u00a0#profotoglobal \u00a0#unleashedinAlaska \u00a0#profotoB10 \u00a0#powerofsmall<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Profoto B10 basic kit also includes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" review: Profoto B10 flash – a first look I first had a chance to play around with the new Profoto B10 flash\u00a0 (B&H\u00a0\/ Amazon) during\u00a0the promotional release event at the Alyeska resort in Alaska.
