The Profoto B1X 500 AirTTL monolight is a premium lighting solution that combines power, portability, and professional-level control, making it an excellent choice for photographers who shoot both in studio and on location. Delivering 500Ws of output, the B1X is powerful enough to light subjects in bright daylight, yet refined enough for controlled indoor setups. Its battery-powered design means you're no longer tethered to power outlets—ideal for outdoor, wedding, fashion, or editorial photography.
One of its standout features is TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering, which allows for automatic exposure adjustments, streamlining fast-paced shoots. For even more creative flexibility, it supports High-Speed Sync (HSS) at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s, allowing photographers to shoot wide open in bright light or freeze fast action with precision.
The B1X features a built-in Profoto Air system, enabling wireless control and triggering when paired with a compatible Air Remote such as the TTL-C (Canon) or TTL-S (Sony). Its user-replaceable lithium-ion battery offers up to 325 full-power flashes per charge, and we supply a spare battery with our kits to ensure you can keep batteries rotated and never run out of power.
Crucially, the B1X uses the Profoto modifier mount, which is compatible with a wide array of professional light-shaping tools, including softboxes, beauty dishes, and grids. This compatibility allows for extensive creative control over light quality and direction.
