The new Profoto B10X and B10X Plus look like good solutions for multi-media shooters who need lights that can work for both video and stills.
The B10X and B10X Plus were designed with versatility, adaptability, and simple usability in mind.
So what are the key benefits of using lights such as these?
- Size and shape of a camera lens
- Lightweight and cordless
- Optional with the flash power of 10 speedlights (B10X Plus) or 5 speedlights (B10X)
- Powerful continuous light with adjustable brightness and color temperature
- Flexibility to set up on camera tripods or light stands
- Compatibility with 120+ Profoto light shaping tools including the OCF range
- Compatibility with all Profoto Air remotes, including the Profoto A-series
- AirX built-in (Profoto Bluetooth technology)
- Smart connectivity with the Profoto app
Both the B10X / B10X Plus feature a new design that is claimed to make them a lot easier to use and set up. The battery can be installed quickly and easily and can be charged while the strobe is in use. The constant light output has increased from 2500 lumens to 3250 lumens, which is a 30% increase from the previous model. In addition, the recycling speed is even faster.
The B10X / B10X Plus both incorporate Profoto’s Bluetooth-enabled technology AirX, so you can maximize the power of your B10X / B10X Plus even when shooting with your smartphone. This allows you to shoot, edit, and publish with one device.
Both the B10X and B10X Plus can be used with a wide variety of lighting modifiers.
