Well I own both the Profoto B1, B2 and 2 AD200 (that I bought later) and for me, the price difference is justified. Out in the field, lightstands fall all the time, sandbags or not. The Profoto gear is built to last, my B1 has resisted the most horrible falls, and man that light falls hard. One AD200 already died because of this. Second, if you use TTL for convenience, you're going to love Profoto's TTL implementation for both Sony and Nikon gear. Godox doesn't get it right, and in the case of Sony, it underexposes a few stops if you shoot at an aperture wider that f/4. That's a known issue that's rarely mentioned. The quality of light, that's also true: choose Nikon or Canon for it's color science, with the right WB and pair it with Profoto and you can shoot awesome OCF photos that require minimal or no color correction. A few photoshoots with equipment that do not produce reliable and consistent color of light and you're going to spend your money (or time) color-correcting like crazy, if that's important to you. I bought the AD200 to travel light, now it's time to sell it.

It is my idea that we are heading or if not already arrived at the time when gear become disposable, example I have B1, B2, A1, which are all great tools, but very expensive. Now with the new B10, my guess is that the B2 has suffered a considerable drop in value, but hey its still a great light. As a hard working full time photographer I find it harder to justify the cost of these units, recently purchased a couple of Ad200 which do an amazing job and coupled with the new ST-IV Trigger at £60 or $60 which is an amazing trigger, it feels just as good if not better built than the profoto airsync which is almost 6 x the cost. The ST-IV offers more information with regard to output vs the Profoto. So I will not be adding to my light collection with this new B10. Going to spend and enjoy the money saved, while still taking the same photograph.

To compare the Profoto light with a speedlight you have to put a modifier to both, otherwise you're going to be fooled by the spread of light. Bare speedlights focus the light a lot. For example, if you compare the AD200 + speedlight head vs the AD200 + lightbulb at the same power level, the first one is going to give you 1.5-2 more stops of light measured at the center. If you use a softbox both give almost the same measured output. At 9:56 in your video, you can see that the lightspread is almost twice as big. If the intensity at the center is the same, that's only possible with more power.

with 2 speed-lights you can cross light (which you can't with one light :-) and if one fails you still have the other. If you want two of these then you need to carry two gear-bags (speedlights can fit in your one bag). And if you have only one B10 and it fails no light whatsoever. Plus this costs is 5+ speed-lights/led lights as the presenter suggests. If you have modifiers/stands that's a third bag to carry around :-) So clearly this whole set up is for larger-scale pro work; where you have at least 3 people on a 'shoot'. This idea of filming and photographing at the same time is also oversold. In a wedding situation you have one person doing the video and they have their own light and one or two photographers each with their own light. It beats me how you can use the same light through-out for film and video if you are doing a wedding. Not even in film sets they do that. They prepare each set with its own light and then film photography has no light of its own but goes off the filming light. But a wedding is a fluid event (not a film set) you cannot stop the process between 'scenes' to set up/alter the lights. You set them once (and this may not always be possible) and you hope for the best :-) So it pays if you are a 3-person team (e.g. 1 video, 2 photo) to be able to alter the light at the individual level.

You stated that (although you didn't have a light meter with you) it didn't seem they were equivalent to the output of 5 speedlites. You stated that the Profoto Air remote system doesn't have two-way communication with the B10, and requires looking on the back of the B10 to see what the power level is. You acknowledge that these units are expensive and not for everyone. For all the people slamming the video, they're missing the point. This was a review, not a comparison between the B10 and (insert other brand here), it was a very fair review. Thank you!

Interesting video! But to be fair: You tested in a way where it barely makes any difference. A beauty dish and a octa straight across will not have a huge impact on the light. A narrow strip light on the other hand will have a huge difference in lighting. I tried it out myself and had 3 stops of light loss from the center to the top and bottom with a recessed light where as the light dome only had 1 to 1.5 stops. It really depends on what kind of lighting you are using but pointing a recessed light straight at a object is not the way I want my photos lit. But you are right, it is by far not as a big of a deal as anyone makes it out to be.

Seems pretty versatile however I am sure I am not the only one saying this but that price could be a real deal breaker for alot of people. I can see it maybe and that's a big maybe if you already have invested in alot of there other products that can work with this light but even then you almost have to have a cooperate credit card to pick these up and like you said there are much more budget friendly options on the table. Thank you so much for sharing and cheers

Darc 1027 Do you go on a Ferrari or Porsche website and complain about price also or do you admire the engineering it takes? When they talk about the Zeus’s Otus lens do you marvel at the image quality or complain that your nifty 50 1.8 can take the same image. Profoto B10 is tool, nothing more or nothing less. If it is not for you, then so be it, but for a lot of people, it will be.

Baber Raja it’s easy to do the math when talking stops of light. One extra speed lights is one more stop, 3 speedlights is 2 stops, 3 stops would be 7 extra speed lights. 5 speed lights is like 2.1 stops which is a weird way to measure. We will do a more thorough test soon.

the price is worth it for the workflow. no one is arguing godox doesn't work, but the ease of operation and a hassle free shoot helps you be professional. when you can rent other lights you could never afford to supplement these and its just plug and play, works with the modifiers you already have, is available world wide, its worth the price. if you don't think your business is worth investing a couple of thousand $$ you've got bigger problems than value for money

Yeah for sure, buy the 400$ trigger without two way communication so in the video he said he has to ask the assistant to show him the light's screen from time to time. Worth it for the workflow for sure.

Lee.. Can you do some tests on power output vs. the B1X. Some of the other people that were at the Alaska event are saying that there is only 1/3 stop difference between the two at full power! That's insane! I just bought the B1X kit, and if this is true I would much rather give up 1/3 stop in exchange for this smaller light. A full stop is another story tho, especially here in Miami, sun with HSS. So.. I am gasping for someone to has access to both lights to make a quick, comparison video. On my knees begging LOL. Please! :-)

Travis Harris Photography look up “Profoto B10” on KZitem and you will find a video by Michael Anthony. He was on the trip and he does a test in his video. We will do a test tomorrow and see but we don’t own a light meter.

@@phaskellhall for sure! Yeah I saw his video, he's the one who told me. I'm wondering if you can tell me, with the same softbox on, what the real world difference is. Don't even bother with a meter. I don't own one either lol. I just wanna get an idea of power difference etc. Also to see how well it holds up in hss mode VS the b1x. I have about 4 days left till I can't send back my b1x kit. Hoping someone can help 😁

Woke up this am with a comment on another post I have going.. I'm told to rather then look at the bare blub power vs one another, to put the light in a modifier. So, if you can.. use that 2' beauty dish you have.. and see about power output vs the B1x. Also, if you can.. try in HSS (especially at the faster shutters) and see if one has an advantage over the other in that regard. I just can't believe that this is only 1/3 of a stop difference than the B1X.. yet all of the output specs on Profoto's site say its a full stop different when using the Magnum Reflector. A one stop difference is basically twice as powerful, and this would make more sense. Finger crossed you can do a test soon so I can decide either way, so I can send back the B1X kit if needed. Patrick, your a life saver man.. truly are.

A Profoto maybe more expensive then those cheap lights from China but you have to consider the service life. I have a battery powered monolight that looks very much like a Profoto B1 and I also have two B1 location kits. The B1 look alike has already been replaced with less then a 5 months of service while the B1's just keep working. First day I had the B1 I used them to light action in a gym, fired off 1200 images in less then 2 hours, they never missed a beat.

you were honest in saying that when you buy Profoto gear, you're paying for the brand name and the ability to use all the Profoto modifiers. To me, that sounds like a ripoff. I'd be willing to spend $1600 for 2 heads, instead of one. They look so good though ... oh and the air remote not having two-way communication with the head, er mmm that sounds so ninenties. Sorry Profoto, try again!

The Godox Xpro, or so I thought ... Correct me if I am wrong. Given Profoto remote's price however, one ought to expect more. That i believe! You would probably agree that Chinese manufacturers are gaining more and more ground thus proving that you can the same or in some cases more with a lot less. While I am a sucker for the B10's looks, I simply reject the notion of having to pay more for brand names and access to accessories. I'd rather invest in function than image. That too, you would agree I am sure, has a ROI, though.
