Ideal for on-location photography, the Profoto B1X sets the benchmark once again for cordless, battery-powered monolights. And with both TTL and HSS available, you're guaranteed the best light shaping experience possible on location, anywhere. It's power in all the right places.

The B1X comes as a 500Ws version and is available in two different kits: the B1X To-Go Kit with a single head and the B1X Location Kit with two heads.

The B1X To-Go Kit includes a single B1X with battery, a standard charger that charges your B1X in just over 2 hours, all packed in a small, customized Bag XS.

The Best-selling Battery-powered TTL Flash

The Profoto B1X off-camera flash is the successor of the award winning Profoto B1. The B1X is no stay-at-home flash; it's for the adventurous photographer who likes to get out there on location in the real world. The portable B1X offers cordless, battery-powered freedom and flexibility. After all, there aren't many wall sockets in the middle of a desert or half way up a mountain. B1X provides you with easy light-shaping wherever and whatever your location might be thanks to its dedicated system of lightweight OCF Light Shaping Tools that are designed for maximum mobility and ease of use.It offers automatic TTL shooting that shines brightest in challenging lighting conditions.

It offers HSS that enables you to control and shape light even in broad daylight. And it's fast to set up so you're free to explore and create stunning images. Let your imagination set the limits, not the length of your cables. The B1X gives you the power you need in all the right places.
