Good first look. I like that they allow the battery to charge and work in the studio. I'm guessing these are not interchangeable with B1 & B1X? If that is correct, that's a shame.
Thanks Daniel! It looks like another great full-featured lighting tool that we will be adding to our kit! I appreciate their innovative engineering and build quality, and allowing us to use all of our existing modifiers with it. I look forward to testing it soon! (also looking forward to saying hello again during Photo+ Expo, Daniel!)
Hi Daniel! I am looking to get some portable new flash equipment! I have hired pro foto before and LIKED them! The one thing that really annoyed me was the fact when you change the power value of the flash it beeps, but does not show the power change on the remote transceiver attached to the hotshot mount of the camera, apparently all pro foto lights do this. For the money I find this really odd that if I say alter the power from 2 up to 4 it does change it on the light itself but on the camera transceiver it does not??? Have they altered this now if not why does it not show the power out put on the remote screen, seems counter productive when you is the flash at distance and you do not want to be walking over to the unit to check it has changed!
Great concept.one A1 and two B10 way to go for run and gun style. Godox and Profoto have the best eco system available. Hope this pushes Godox to inprove the AD200. Competition is good.
Thats a fantastic light, I can say this is the best compatible flash I tested it ever, its the new generation of Profoto lights system, I wish if they made the program for controlling the light do a flashing also, but maybe with the new update they will make it, thanks for your great review.
I just bought the B1x recently with free remote. I wanted to buy the (2) but ended up getting single kit. Would you add two of these or just get another B1x? Some of new features are nice but less power.
ITS 250watts at full power. same as the flashpoint / godox ad200. so you will be paying extra for the continuous light feature, the white balance adjustment , and the bluetooth function..
Marisa Hype! :D also, cute little thing that flash is... unfortunately that Adorama link doesnt work (yet?). will have to find it manually i guess to learn about the specs.
Ok so what is the make model brand of that boom stick your using? I have one that I use with my B2's that i thought would be good based on the high price but they fail. The one your using in this video looks solid.
great video on the b10 lovely piece of kit wish I was in a position to get a couple of these they would certainly suit my photo and video work -its outside my budget but i like hearing about new lights and capabilities - for now I will continue on with my budget speedlights and leds
Killed it. Great video. Now I'm torn between the B10 & B2. Borrowing some lights this weekend because I think I want to take up portrait photography. Look forward to more videos.
I will definitely buy 3 of them for my wedding work. But charging them while in use will destroy the battery pretty fast. It was already a possibility on the B2. Never used that feature for this reason.
Good to know that little snippet Daniel! I think these modern battery packs of the last year or two have a LOT better tech in them than the older gear by the sounds of it!! Elinchrom now also offer "Charging while in use" on their 2 current modern evolutions (of the older Quadra packs), the ELB 400 and the ELB 500.
I could see adding this as my first Profoto light to supplement my two Canon speedlites. How would the Profoto light control system work in concert with Canon 600 EX-RT II speedlites? I'm slowly acquiring the gear I want to shoot on-location portraits as a supplement income in retirement from my primary profession. I don't expect to make a living with photography so I don't want to go overboard and buy a full studio setup. This is intriguing.
And for just the low low prize of 1500usd? Looks to me that they feel the preasure from godox because this is more or less the same form factor as the ad200 with the new round head.
@@DanielNortonPhotographer lol. Because bmw actually builds better cars. Godox pro series is the same at a third of the price. Bad comparison. Profoto definitely looses market share to godox, no arguing against it.
I love the portability and the app feature. But at the end of the day, it's not a cost effective swap for photographers who are already invested in a lighting system. I shoot with 4 Nikon SB-910's, all on pocketwizards, controlled by my Sekonic light meter and have acquired numerous soft boxes, beauty-dishes, snoots, etc. It would just be too expensive to invest in the new B10's, add an Air Remote, and replace my existing light modifiers.
Good for you but what does that comment have to do with this video? I am not sure who is worst, Sony fanboys or Godox fanboys unless you are a Sony/Godox fanboy.
Looks like i'm going to have to start saving my penny's but between all the new mirrorless cameras, lenses and now a new Profoto light I don't think there will ever be enough penny's! But it does look like a great light and would be perfect for my needs.
Nice photos and undoutably a good light, I do feel though this in response to the impact of another brand who are making big strides in this area at a much cheaper price.
I use my B2 90% of the time over the B1 in shoots like in this video. The B10 would be even better without the pack. I wonder what the weight difference is between the B2 head and the B10?
I thought the B2 being a 'Pack and Head' style was better as you can use the pack as a stand weight, and to keep the centre of gravity much lower too, no? And if not on stands, and just carrying it, slinging it over your shoulder is less weight that you have to bear with your outstretched arms, no?
@@DanielNortonPhotographer Well it makes me feel good for sure not spending like triple the money on basically the same. If you don't care about cost efficiency as a professional photographer maybe you should check your priorities 😘 If nobody cares about gear, what's the point of the video anyways?
Wow that is cool a few years ago this type of lights was called a flash, as it runs on battery's Now with a LED model light and other such power saving features. It is a studio quality, and powerful light. It can be used in Studio or on location without the power packs, wires and a portable generator of days past.
I might consider buying it for my Sony A7 instead of buying a camera flash and Wireless Radio Commander. Is excited about what the price will be. Unfortunately, I can not wish it for a gift from my wife for my 50th birthday November 21st She has given me a trip to the United States :-) This is the first time I come to the United States I'm going on my very first trip to us with my wife and her son at the age of 16 in October 7 to 24. Starting with 5.5 days in Los Angeles and so on to Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Death Valley, Yosemite National Park and ending in San Francisco
I am disappointed that flash companies have not gone to a shared key architecture for their radios (wifi uses this), it would eliminate most of the problems with misfires in areas with dense RF or multiple groups shooting within a few hundred feet of each other.
yes, looks promising as a first profoto light, but wished that a stand was included in the kit, along with the rest of it, maybe a trigger as well??, Maybe a video, showing say a Phase One camera, NOT dslr's, or mirror-less cameras all the time :-( , as I am interested in a light solution around this Medium format system, not the small format.
These lights are for those phographers out there that are making a substantial amount of Money, The Profoto B10 lights aren't toys to play with, they are working tools for those who make a living taking pictures.
Sept has been like..camera-palooza...camera-geddon (wallet-geddon)... Nikon and canon mirrorless, New fuji, Panasonic full frame, Sony announcements coming, and its not even photokina yet! now this.. an untethered B2.. with Wifi features! I know what happened, a meteor hit the earth, we all died an went to heaven. It has to be. Literally every platform got updated. I guess its all heaven until you get the bill, then its hell! Oh I get it... Preorder is purgatory! Makes sense. I say we declare sept to be Global Camera Month..... and October be Credit card Payment month!
Beautiful product. Not as beautiful as the model, but certainly attractive. I want 3, but as a hobbyist i can only afford 1/3. Greetings from Colombia. P.S. I miss Danny Puppet
its only ok if you are already invested in ProFoto, they had to know this. I doubt its aimed at most working professionals doing weddings etc even . Niche market only.
What do you think the best use cases will be for the A1, the B2 and the B10? The B10 appears to be so small, and it is more powerful than the B2, I am curious if you think the B2 still would be a better choice in some situations, and if so, which one(s)?
Daniel Norton Photographer I just saw the ‘Before You Buy the Profoto B10’ video you and Seth did that pretty much answered my questions. Keep up the informative videos!
What? That makes no sense! Is it expensive because it has resale value... or maybe it has resale value because it is so expensive? The video capable modeling light is the main innovation... but considering it costs almosts three times the price of a Godox AD400Pro, I don't think we'll see these flying off the shelves. You can actually buy an AD600 and AD400 Pro for the price of just one of these! Only way to justify buying the Profoto is: a) you're a seasoned pro with plenty of clients paying premium prices and already use other Profoto gear; b) maybe if you travel A LOT and can benefit from having a strobe and continuous light in the same unit. You can almost buy the whole Witstro range for the price of one of these: Profoto B10 250Ws $ 1600; Godox AD600 and AD400Pro totals $1400, and you can add the AD200 to this system for just $300. Think about it: Profoto can be rented all over the world. You could actually take an AD400Pro with the Profoto adapter when travelling, and still have the whole range of Profoto light modifiers available!
Leonardo Rodrigues hard to argue your points. I shoot AD600PRO no complaints at all. Profoto; is it well built, sure. Is it versatile, sure. Is it portable, sure. Is it powerful and feature laden, sure. Is there stiff competition from Flashpoint, absolutely. Besides big time pro's and demanding clients, the rest of us photogs can succeed with Flashpoint/Godox systems and have left over money for more equipment. Not knocking Profoto, just saying that Flashpoint changed the game. Value can never be a dead concept when hard earned money is counted on to feed and shelter your family. Kudos to Profoto engineers. Big props to Flashpoint to help us bottom feeders create and satisfy clients who respect the work we put forth. Always remember ladies and gents, avoid GAS and KISS are long term concepts.
I'm Sorry to say this Profoto is taking us for a ride and is not a joy ride, they just add Bluetooth B2 still better option and B1 Why would someone buy this light?
Wouldnt be nice if you had any of these you tubers say "Profoto has a new light it is ok but!!!! and the two light kit but it cost $4000 and I am sorry but it is just not worth the money" Wouldnt that be a fun change.. notice money was not mentioned once......
These lighting comments are funny as the nikon/sony fans. Seriously though if you love godox, then good for you. Spend your money however you want. Profoto is not competing with Godox, anymore than Mercedes is competing with Honda. I drive a honda pilot and wanted a bmw but my wallet prevailed. I do use profoto and some a/bees as back up, and some nikon speedlights as well.
Too expensive vs other very good alternatives, what people do not understand is you have to buy the air sync trigger in addition to the light which is another £344 $344 Crazy , the app is a bit gimmicky, just saves Profoto developing a decent trigger that gives you all the info you need. Going to stick with my B1 B2 and Ad200 Lastly a spare battery is going to cost you another £250 Crazy
too too expensive crazy $1.500 that thing is the new a7s III camera with IBIS and 2 cards beating canon and nikon. viva Godox forever............. . no one will make me buy this crap
Daniel, looks like you don't really think it's worthwhile for video, right? Seems like the modeling light is super weak for outdoor use. I could hardly see a difference on your face with or without it. Maybe a little at Sunset but certainly no fill in the woods.
Real World Endo at no point did I do a with and without it comparison so I’m not sure what you mean there. I’d say it’s not a video light, but a photo light that could be used for some video. It’s no HMI thats for sure 😊
Ha, ha. Like all the features of this flash. But I enjoy them already for about 2 years with my Godox AD200's. For the price of one B10 I can buy around 4 a 5 AD200's.
What is the bag that Daniel is wearing to carry the B10?
Best natural model on UA-cam for sure. With Daniel Are. The perfect combo!
i just saw the price ...$1500 !?!??! the flashpoint ad200 is $299! same power, same portability, ($30 extra for the extension head ) wtheck!
BODYSNATCHA 🙈🤣😂🤣😂 you really now you stuff🤡🤡🤡
Marisa is photographically perfect. Great images Daniel.
Good first look. I like that they allow the battery to charge and work in the studio. I'm guessing these are not interchangeable with B1 & B1X? If that is correct, that's a shame.
Andy Zavoina different battery and charger
Deciding between B10 or new Elinchrom 500... Out door family shooter. Suggestions?
Daniel...great content about the B10..Just looking at some videos...as I'm coming back to system . Thanks for sharing this..
very nice shots and you change the angle of the shots wonderful Daniel God bless.
UK price is £1410.00. My recommendation is to buy the Godox AD400pro for about £600-£700. 400 watt and you can add a profoto mount.
Thanks for making this video, just wanted to ask you where did you get the profit shoulder bag from?
Thanks Daniel! It looks like another great full-featured lighting tool that we will be adding to our kit! I appreciate their innovative engineering and build quality, and allowing us to use all of our existing modifiers with it. I look forward to testing it soon! (also looking forward to saying hello again during Photo+ Expo, Daniel!)
I nearly decided to choose the A1, but I'll now wait to get one of these to add to the rest of my Profoto equipment.
How is the umbrella holder on it? What's the largest size that you would feel comfortable putting on it?
Hi Daniel! I am looking to get some portable new flash equipment!

Fantastic shots!
I wish they would come up with a battery you could use with the B1X and leave on AC power like the B10.
I am a long time D1 user, but when I need to buy additional lighting, I will definitely choose the B10. Thanks Daniel for a great review!
You've got my attention... I'll be keeping an aye out for the details, including price. Thanks, Daniel, Marisa, Seth, and Dave!
I just bought the B1x recently with free remote. I wanted to buy the (2) but ended up getting single kit. Would you add two of these or just get another B1x? Some of new features are nice but less power.

yeah, that's exactly what you are paying for.... SMH ..
BODYSNATCHA continuous light....gimme that Rotolight neo!!!! Awesome kit.
Marisa Hype! :D
also, cute little thing that flash is... unfortunately that Adorama link doesnt work (yet?). will have to find it manually i guess to learn about the specs.
Oh I like. Great demo of its capabilities
I like it! Are the constant lights stronger than Rotolight small?
Awesome bit of kit!
what model or brand is the light stick?
Color of your model from this shoot is do beautiful. Is it light or is it post processing? You are the best in tracking lighting.
Ok so what is the make model brand of that boom stick your using? I have one that I use with my B2's that i thought would be good based on the high price but they fail. The one your using in this video looks solid.
Awesome wats the price?
Thank you, Daniel. Could you or anyone post recycle times and flash duration for this? Cheers.
great video on the b10 lovely piece of kit wish I was in a position to get a couple of these they would certainly suit my photo and video work -its outside my budget but i like hearing about new lights and capabilities - for now I will continue on with my budget speedlights and leds
Killed it. Great video. Now I'm torn between the B10 & B2. Borrowing some lights this weekend because I think I want to take up portrait photography. Look forward to more videos.
Terry A. Brewer who would have thought the the B2’s are now studio lights and the B10’s are the new portables.
For $1,500 that thing better have two memory card slots.
Wilson Newman 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
10/10 comment
Nice one.
😂😂😂
thx, i spit out on my monitor. great laugh, and now i suffer :) :(
did you just use the regular tripod screw that a camera or telephoto lens would screw into on the gorrilla pod or a strobe type connector?
Terry Stahly regular 1/4 -20 screw. Like a camera
I will definitely buy 3 of them for my wedding work.
But charging them while in use will destroy the battery pretty fast. It was already a possibility on the B2. Never used that feature for this reason.
Tobias Bugala hmm. I’ve had my b2 kit for 2 years, always charge while using. Battery is still like new 🤷🏻♂️

Dan Browning it will not mix with the Canon’s TTL, you’d have to use it as an optical slave until you move completely into the Profoto line
I would replace Canon Speedlights for B10. Small, Portable and more powerful then 600s
It is the light for me.
And for just the low low prize of 1500usd?
Looks to me that they feel the preasure from godox because this is more or less the same form factor as the ad200 with the new round head.
Looks like I was not too off on that cost guess 🤣 here in Norway it costs 17000nok, that is 2000usd so 1500 over in the states may be right
Zack ha ha. Yeah. Profoto is “feeling” pressure from godox - like BMW is feeling pressure from Yugo
@@DanielNortonPhotographer lol. Because bmw actually builds better cars. Godox pro series is the same at a third of the price. Bad comparison. Profoto definitely looses market share to godox, no arguing against it.
would you recommend the B10 over the B1X for on location lighting?
ThreeDee for fashion/advertising, probably not. For portrait/wedding probably.
This review was top notch! Really sold me on the b10.
By far the best review of the B10. Keep up the excellent work!
Nice. That tool looks useful. In this days of high iso cameras it’s maybe all what you need.
very beautiful model and great shot in wood
to expensive if you want 3 of them for full studio cover outdoor
I love the portability and the app feature. But at the end of the day, it's not a cost effective swap for photographers who are already invested in a lighting system. I shoot with 4 Nikon SB-910's, all on pocketwizards, controlled by my Sekonic light meter and have acquired numerous soft boxes, beauty-dishes, snoots, etc. It would just be too expensive to invest in the new B10's, add an Air Remote, and replace my existing light modifiers.
Nice jobs guys!
2:25 Rockin' it!!!
$1600 each, wow. Sticking with Godox.
i own 2 profoto paks and godox, the godox AD200 with 200 watts is $300. is profoto clueless?
This time Godox opened the way with the AD200.
i use godox from the first product. Never disappointed
Good for you but what does that comment have to do with this video? I am not sure who is worst, Sony fanboys or Godox fanboys unless you are a Sony/Godox fanboy.
Just try getting a Godox fixed.
Looks like i'm going to have to start saving my penny's but between all the new mirrorless cameras, lenses and now a new Profoto light I don't think there will ever be enough penny's! But it does look like a great light and would be perfect for my needs.
Nice photos and undoutably a good light, I do feel though this in response to the impact of another brand who are making big strides in this area at a much cheaper price.
Brilliant. It’s so damn spendy but I gotta have it. Looks like the B2s are going up on eBay.
LOL, I feel like is the B2X!
I see quite a few people selling their B2's and lesser gear to grab this. The pricing is too close to the b1 for my preference.
I use my B2 90% of the time over the B1 in shoots like in this video. The B10 would be even better without the pack. I wonder what the weight difference is between the B2 head and the B10?
Andrew Padyk didn’t weigh it but I’d say maybe 2x the weight roughly. Those B2 heads are crazy light.
I thought the B2 being a 'Pack and Head' style was better as you can use the pack as a stand weight, and to keep the centre of gravity much lower too, no? And if not on stands, and just carrying it, slinging it over your shoulder is less weight that you have to bear with your outstretched arms, no?
Gotta love that Canon color on those stills.
What was used to shoot the video?
Shot it with a7sII and Canon 24-105mm F4 with a Metabones Adapter.
I had a feeling that a Sony was used to shoot the video. It had that flat, cyan casted look.
Thanks for this. Makes me feel better about my Godox AD200 for a fraction of the cost. 😜
Madhu Menon if the gear you own is what makes you feel good about yourself, you may want to check your priorities .. 😘
Dude, how did you read that comment so wrong? It was a tongue-in-cheek remark about how this light is so expensive.
Madhu Menon And fraction of the life.
@@DanielNortonPhotographer Well it makes me feel good for sure not spending like triple the money on basically the same. If you don't care about cost efficiency as a professional photographer maybe you should check your priorities 😘 If nobody cares about gear, what's the point of the video anyways?
Looks nice. Can't wait to know the price but I'm sure it won't be reasonable.
Perfect!

Is this supposed to replace the B2? the bluetooth seems a little gimmicky.
very specialized for sure, I can mostly see it when you really need to know the power of your lights
I am disappointed that flash companies have not gone to a shared key architecture for their radios (wifi uses this), it would eliminate most of the problems with misfires in areas with dense RF or multiple groups shooting within a few hundred feet of each other.
What's the mount ? Bowens ?
Paul Bivins 😂 😂😂😂 made my day thanks!
Lol wtf

Is the LED as strong as a Manfrotto Lykos?
wildcart based on the specs I’d say yes, but I have not actually compared them
Looks great ))
Still no android app for the B10 - what are Profoto up to - I'm not changing my Google Pixel for an iPhone - dam you Profoto 😁
These lights are for those phographers out there that are making a substantial amount of Money, The Profoto B10 lights aren't toys to play with, they are working tools for those who make a living taking pictures.
Price and power?
$1600/250W/s I think.
0:51 2:21 what is this bag?
Nice Light! Wish it was priced at a much lower price point
thekidusa you get what you pay for
Sept has been like..camera-palooza...camera-geddon (wallet-geddon)...

Oh I get it... Preorder is purgatory! Makes sense.
I say we declare sept to be Global Camera Month..... and October be Credit card Payment month!
Godox AD-200 died and went to heaven - Profoto B10 -died penniless...
Well I was going to save some money. Now I know its going to go into Adorama's pocket.
Apparently that light also makes you walk in slow motion. Hmmm . . . . I'll have to think about this.
Robert Blanton 🚶🏻 🚶🏻🚶🏻
Beautiful product. Not as beautiful as the model, but certainly attractive. I want 3, but as a hobbyist i can only afford 1/3.
Greetings from Colombia.
P.S. I miss Danny Puppet
Ad400 is a better choice for competition to the profoto
Thanks this will replace my B2 kit 😝
cool & amazing
definitely a want... whats the price
We will know in about 2h... my bet is on 1500 each
Probably 3x of Godox AD400 :)
But it should be compared to AD200,
Louis Lopez
💰💸💵
Louis Lopez $1600
Great product, EXTREMELY ridiculous price. I've rather spend $1600 on a single lens.Can't wait for the Chinese version, should be $200 or less.
how many years though.
Godox AD200?
Godox Ad200 and more powerful AD400 Pro already out. HSS, TTL, etc.
Same thought, but I hope a Japanese brand like Nissin can do it in kinda middle price and good quality.
its only ok if you are already invested in ProFoto, they had to know this. I doubt its aimed at most working professionals doing weddings etc even . Niche market only.
John Rasmussen totally agree!
What do you think the best use cases will be for the A1, the B2 and the B10? The B10 appears to be so small, and it is more powerful than the B2, I am curious if you think the B2 still would be a better choice in some situations, and if so, which one(s)?
When you need a crazy light weight head the B2 would be ideal for me
b2 and b10 are the same power aside from the modeling light. They should have never made the b2 and just made this.
Daniel Norton Photographer I just saw the ‘Before You Buy the Profoto B10’ video you and Seth did that pretty much answered my questions. Keep up the informative videos!
If you need two heads the B2 can still be an option I think
Not a lot of juice... 9.5 on that sunset shot. Interesting piece of kit though, it'll sell like hot cakes
tomalapevides HSS to Get The shallow DOF with a high shutter like 4000th or more will send the light to its highest power most times
tomalapevides HSS 1/8000 needs that power 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Looks like a great light but definitely not price friendly for us poor people
Profoto is amazing but I cannot afford it so i'll go for Godox
Dang this is pricey, I could buy a nice ZEISS lens for that!!
How much light would the Zeiss put out in that forest canopy shot?
Why is it so expensive
MSF Photography reliability, consistency, resale value to start with
What? That makes no sense! Is it expensive because it has resale value... or maybe it has resale value because it is so expensive? The video capable modeling light is the main innovation... but considering it costs almosts three times the price of a Godox AD400Pro, I don't think we'll see these flying off the shelves.

Why do people always ask that? It's Profoto. It ain't cheap. It's well made.
Leonardo Rodrigues hard to argue your points. I shoot AD600PRO no complaints at all. Profoto; is it well built, sure. Is it versatile, sure. Is it portable, sure.

Kudos to Profoto engineers. Big props to Flashpoint to help us bottom feeders create and satisfy clients who respect the work we put forth. Always remember ladies and gents, avoid GAS and KISS are long term concepts.
Oh well my b2 is giving on eBay lol can’t wait to buy a couple
250 w/s isn’t mentioned.
Needs to be at least 400/500.
Russell Spencer see b1x
A week after I coughed up a grand for an A1 they introduce this. DUH! Would have never got the A1
Just got my A1X yesterday. Will be returning tomorrow and getting B10 Duo Kit
I'm Sorry to say this Profoto is taking us for a ride and is not a joy ride, they just add Bluetooth B2 still better option and B1 Why would someone buy this light?
恕我直言，这拍的也太对不起这灯的价格了……
what’s her instagram?
@marisa.roper :)
wow☺ nice
Wouldnt be nice if you had any of these you tubers say "Profoto has a new light it is ok but!!!! and the two light kit but it cost $4000 and I am sorry but it is just not worth the money" Wouldnt that be a fun change.. notice money was not mentioned once......
These lighting comments are funny as the nikon/sony fans. Seriously though if you love godox, then good for you. Spend your money however you want. Profoto is not competing with Godox, anymore than Mercedes is competing with Honda. I drive a honda pilot and wanted a bmw but my wallet prevailed. I do use profoto and some a/bees as back up, and some nikon speedlights as well.
Too expensive vs other very good alternatives, what people do not understand is you have to buy the air sync trigger in addition to the light which is another £344 $344 Crazy , the app is a bit gimmicky, just saves Profoto developing a decent trigger that gives you all the info you need. Going to stick with my B1 B2 and Ad200 Lastly a spare battery is going to cost you another £250 Crazy
too too expensive crazy $1.500 that thing is the new a7s III camera with IBIS and 2 cards beating canon and nikon. viva Godox forever............. . no one will make me buy this crap
Price point is way too high, I will also stay with GoDox.
Daniel, looks like you don't really think it's worthwhile for video, right? Seems like the modeling light is super weak for outdoor use. I could hardly see a difference on your face with or without it. Maybe a little at Sunset but certainly no fill in the woods.
Real World Endo at no point did I do a with and without it comparison so I’m not sure what you mean there. I’d say it’s not a video light, but a photo light that could be used for some video. It’s no HMI thats for sure 😊
Ha, ha. Like all the features of this flash. But I enjoy them already for about 2 years with my Godox AD200's. For the price of one B10 I can buy around 4 a 5 AD200's.
Add 60 for the Godox remote and 500 for the profoto remote :)
Maybe 700 bucks should be the right price for this product.....
