On Location with the Profoto B1: Episode 145: Exploring Photography with Mark Wallace 

This is so the thing, I've been looking for. Love it, GOTTA have it!

Really nice but very very expensive, almost $2000 for one light. You can get 4 $499 Canon 600EX-RT for that. Sorry too much.

Very clean set-up!

Dear Mark tank you for all the videos that you post, I've learned a lot with you. But in this presentation you only explore the positive side of the B1, omitting the cons can give the wrong idea of this product to a potencial buyer(like me)... i've seen the B1 in the photo expo in Paris, it's really super to have a portable ttl flash, I was relly interested in this light BUT: it only works in TTL with CANON, no ttl for Nikon, Sony... and cannot work plugged directly do 110/220V... that means that you'll ever depend on battery even in studio...

They are awesome, I can see why they work so well, but man! these astronomically expensive almost 2k for one light and 400 bucks for the remote... for that price you think they would give you the remote. On a side note I love the way Mark Wallace teaches...

Wedding photographers gonna love this. One of these in each corner of the room, about 12 feet high pointing to the center and you are good to go till batteries runs out. Initial $10k investment though.

Profoto is a top of the line, you get what you pay for

They're awesome. Can they do high speed sync?

Hi there. Real nice. How many people do you think you can squeeze in one photo with the B1? I take a lot of group shots. Thank you sir.

These lights are very handy for in the field, definately need something with more power than the normal 580EX or SB800 strobes.

very useful for amateurs!

Beautiful model!!

Looks like a nice system. Have there been any upgrades to this since the video was made? Typically how long do these batteries last? Thanks.

Definitely great kit especially for Wedding Photographer but way too expensive!

oh man, i need that light...These seem to be really great"

It weill be nice this tutorial, shooting in the night, I don't see very useful this with such beatiful sun

You've got a new subscriber👏🏻

This what I have been looking for. Super compact and portable. Price is a bit high thought. I'll wait a few months, hopefully the price may come down.

How does the mono-light know how far it is from the subject?

Christmas photography photo shoot video!

Can you do this same set up with the Nikon SB-910's? I have Three. Would I use the same set up? I use the Nikon D750 thanks! What would I do if I have a family portrait with Four or Five in one shot?

I am not so crazy about TTL and love the Profoto B2 air 600Ws. I own two units and they are great for location shooting as well. Maybe I am addicted to handheld light meters :)

Can use the B1 as key and use my 600EX-RT as a rim light? If so, how can I do that? Can't afford 2 of the B1s. Thank you.

So no high speed sync?

I know this is very expensive but this light source is much better than any speed light. Speed lights will always have that crappy lighting look and they never have enough power if shooting through a softbox. Just wish Profoto would lower the price point for these lights.

The firmware update do make it possible to use HSS. Or did I just dream this?

Does anyone know if the Profoto B1 will work in TTL or Manual mode with the Sony A7S? Thanks.

Need one of those but for less than $2k

Any guidance on how to set flash compensation for the B1 on Nikon cameras which have pop-up flashes like the Nikon D810 and the D750, when the AirTTL is in the camera hotshoe? Pressing the Flash compensation button while the AirTTL is in the camera hotshoe makes the built-in flash pop-up half way as a result of which the flash compensation feature does not appear on the LCD info screen. Any way around this?

I like that set up but the total lighting package he has with two lights, remote and beauty dish will cost close to 5000.00. Not cheap that is for sure.

10 times the power of a single speedlite but much more than 10 times the price of 10 speedlites…

Do you have any tips on how to make the Air Remote Batteries last longer? I'm getting about 4 or 5 hours Max. Manual says up to 30 hours. Laughable!

whats a good system for a photographer on a budget?

Will the ttl remote also trigger the D1 monolights? Thank you.

What is a modeling light?

I ´ll stick to my Quantum flash, thank you very much… cute model though! nice

For these to become of any real use they need to sync over 1/200

It seems we can't use high speed sync on this profoto. so if we want to shoot at 2.8 or 1.4, on bright sunlight, have to go back to manual. pretty useless then. well, gotta wait for profoto B2 or something........

and.... I hope it will go with hyper sinc,high speed,or something over 1/200.... with $2k from pocket

Nice setup, but I'll gladly stick with my Einsteins, CyberSync Commander and Vagabond Mini Lithiums.

I'm sorry but that price is way to high

For somewhat less you could buy 2 Einstein's, mini vagabond battery pack, cyber synch module and stands, with a total of 1280watts your ready for most location.

the hair light is coming from the opposite direction of the sun

f8? for what?

wow. only 2k. sweet. lol. ouch.

For $4,300.00 I will buy a Brocolor Move setup thank you very much!

spped 1/200 f 8 ? !!!!! !!???? you are working it terrible !!!!!!! The b1 have High Speed Sync as Fast as 1/8,000 Sec... you should be working 1/8000 f 2.8

Profoto may be relatively expensive, and they are. That said, the benefits that come with the high price are worth it to me. Same as buying a BMW over Chevrolet.

speedlites without extra battery pack they recharge no proparly each time,and way toooo long,with extra battery/in total 12x/ they can get over heat easly,strobes...very often after battery pack drain over 50% work often far way from what we wish,b1 has 8-10 speedlite in one head/each600 Rt=$500/and they work without this kind problems.I use two sets/old Norman+Hensel+speedlite/for custom jeep+model compare with Pocketwizard,+honda power generator.b1 solw me problem of weight,cables,setups bla,bla,bla,but yes,it cost$$$$ bit to much
