The 11 stop power range gives you unmatched creative flexibility, from subtle fill light to full-power illumination. The three flash modes let you adapt to any situation: ECO mode for extended equipment lifespan, Boost mode for extra power when needed, and Freeze mode for the shortest flash duration to eliminate motion blur when capturing the action.

At 40W, the built-in bi-color LED has been enhanced with 50% more output than the B10Xs’, making the B30 even more effective for combining stills and video. With Profoto’s renowned Light Shaping System, you have over 120 modifiers and accessories to turn your creative vision into reality. The B30 features the renowned and intuitive Profoto UI, which practically eliminates dealing with cumbersome technical settings.

Every Profoto product is crafted with premium components and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that your gear always performs and delivers beautiful light at a consistent color temperature shot after shot. With unmatched reliability, speed, and precision, the B30 is made to work as hard as you are.
