Profoto B10X Overview
Put together for image makers in need of a hassle-free octa softbox, the Profoto B10X OCF Flash Head and 3 Octa Softbox Kit bundles the 250Ws B10X OCF Flash Head with a robust, yet easy-to-use modifier that comes with a built-in speed ring and interchangeable diffusor. The included 3 Octa Softbox has a silver interior that adds more punch and contrast to your scenes.
Profoto B10X OCF Flash Head
Building on the laurels of the B10, Profoto pushes the envelope still further for photographers and videographers with the B10X OCF Flash Head, which has shortened the recycling time to just 1.3 seconds at full power over a 10-stop power range. The flash is also TTL and High Speed Sync capable and its continuous LED modeling light is powerful (10,000 lux with an OCF Magnum reflector) enough to shoot video with the same camera that you use to shoot stills. In fact, you can vary the color temperature from 3000 to 6500K, and its high CRI of 90-96 is your assurance of accurate color reproduction. Additionally, the battery will give you 65 minutes run time at full power.
Another outstanding feature is the multitude of triggering options. The flash has a built-in AirX receiver with a range of 330 with the purchase of a dedicated remote transmitter and 90 using Bluetooth devices like your smartphone.
