Getting the Most out of the Profoto B1 and B2

Off-camera flashes are not speedlights and they are not monolights. They are a new kind of flash, combining the best of both worlds. Profoto's off-camera flashes are distinguished by their revolutionizing TTL technology, cordless convenience and powerful light. These features combined will bring your photography to a whole new level . The Profoto Off-Camera Flash system makes it easy to take the flash off your camera, take control and shape light. They allow to you to forget about the flash and focus the light.

Whether you are a wedding, portrait, corporate or commercial photographer this invaluable gear can change the way you think about lighting.

Sony just announced the TTL transmitter and I'm excited to buy one of these. I was already set on the B1 a few years ago, but then the B2 came out and I've been wanting that instead, but I'm not sure how it would compare to the most high end flash in power. Would I be able to stop really fast motion with the B2? Like capturing chalk in burst shots without it burning out? I've been using the Nissin di700 and it just misfires too much for me.

except for TTL, are the B1 and the B2 fully opertionnal with a EM1 Olympus system?

The reason rent versus buy is the cost is too high.

Switch on the lights. Speak slowly. Too much talking; just theory. Less than 10 % of the audiance will understand this "instruction".
