Profoto B1 & B2 Off-Camera Flash systems
One of the keys to great photos is lighting. A well-lit photo stands head and shoulders above the rest. Lighting doesn’t need to be complicated though and with the Profoto B1 and B2 off-camera flash systems, achieving slick expert-level shots is easy. The B1 has completely cordless TTL operation and is ten times as powerful as your average speedlight, making it your go-to flash for on-location shoots. On the other hand, the B2 is TTL ready too, can be used both on- and off- camera and is versatile enough to use as a gentle fill light or as your main light source.
Gel set The second new OCF Light Shaping Tool is no less exciting and has huge creative potential. The OCF Gel set features a wide range of coloured lighting gel filters. They are precut to fit Profoto B1 and B2 Off- Camera Flash units and are held in place with a unique snap-on solution so no need for sticky tape. Three different OCF Gel sets are available. The OCF Color Gel Starter kit costs £72 includes ten popular colours and the OCF Grid&GelHolder, with two attachment pieces enabling you to switch between colours quickly.
The OCF Color Correction Gel pack features 20 gels filters in orange, blue and green, designed to balance flash with sunlight, moonlight and fluorescent light respectively. The final kit is the OCF Color Effects Gel pack and here we have 20 coloured gels including Rose Pink, Gold Amber and Peacock Blue. The gel packs are priced at £42 each. As part of the integrated Off-Camera Flash system, the OCF Gels can be used with the B1 and B2 heads as well as with any of the other OCF Light Shaping Tools.
