Profoto B30 Duo

The Profoto B20 and B30 build on everything that made the B10 range an industry standard, but with faster performance, a more powerful LED, and greater versatility. Designed for photographers who demand reliability in any environment, these flashes are designed to handle a wide variety of conditions with a rugged, rubberized surface that ensures a secure grip and durability for even the heaviest modifiers.

With a 13% faster recycling time than the B10Xs’, you’ll never miss a crucial moment. The new user-replaceable flash tube allows for quick swaps on set, keeping your workflow uninterrupted. 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 B20 and 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 B20’s and 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 B20 and B30 are made to work as hard as you are.

Portability and Power

The B20 and B30 deliver an exceptional power-to-size ratio, ensuring you never have to choose between portability and performance. Both lights feature high-quality bi-color LEDs with impressive CRI for accurate color reproduction and smooth dimming. Whether you need to brighten or soften your output, their industry-leading power range and 0.1 f-stop precision provide total control in any lighting setup. With up to 13% faster recycling speed than their predecessors, they keep the pace for fast-moving shoot.

They Will Always Work

The B20 and B30 have superior durability and dependability. With no risk of misfires or overheating, they perform flawlessly, shoot after shoot. Each model comes with a user-exchangeable flash tube, allowing you to replace it on-site and minimize downtime. The B20 and B30 feature a dedicated 3.5mm sync port for seamless integration into any studio setup. Profoto’s ECO mode protects internal components, reduces thermal stress, and extends your gear’s lifespan—perfect for long, demanding shooting days.
