In case you’ve missed it, we now have the
Profoto B1 Air ($45 for a 1-day rental) and the Air Remote TTL-C ($25
1-day rental) in our rental department! The B1 is wireless and runs on battery,
making it incredibly portable and convenient. This system even sets exposure
from your cameras TTL metering system for you! Max output is 500 watts and you
will get over 200 full power exposures out of 1 battery; that is some serious
power.
One great feature of the B1 is the LED
modeling light (output equivalent to 70W Halogen). The low draw of LED allows
you to use modeling light with battery power, not possible on older battery
packs, like the B3 and B4, because the heads use halogen bulbs with a much
higher power consumption.
The TTL metering features are currently for
Canon and Nikon only, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take full advantage of
the remote capabilities. The hot shoe mounted remote allows you to control
power and multiple units.

This is an ideal solution when you have to
move quickly and need the exposure right the first time.
