Reliable, robust, and built to last, the B20 OCF Flash Head from Profoto is a compact flash head with exceptional performance capabilities and brightness options. The B20's quick 0.01 to 1.2 second recycling time range syncs with a speedy shutter speed of 1/38,100 of a second in freeze mode for uninterrupted shooting. Crafted to ensure full creative control, the 250W B20 features an 11-stop power range and a 40W bi-color modeling lamp allowing for easy setup and capture of precise shots. With three flash modes, including Boost, Eco, and Freeze, this strobe illuminates fast-paced scenes with its built-in AirX connectivity and a separately available Profoto remote.
Supporting on-location photographers in split-second moments, the strobe combines easy-to-use controls with professional-grade speed to accommodate fast-paced environments, featuring up to 400 full-power flashes and Sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control functions. Producing an output of 1700 lux at 3.3' with its bare bulb, and an illuminated output of 8500 lux at 3.3' with a separately available OCF Magnum, the B20 is compatible with many Profoto accessories for ample lighting options. The incorporated Profoto OCF mount, paired with its rubberized grip design, ensures the strobe can securely hold any of the brand's 120 lighting modifiers to sculpt and precisely refine light output. For additional versatility, this B20 monolight includes an OCF stand adapter, protection cap, B-series battery and charger, a C7 power cable, and an OCF case for a simple transportation option.
