This is a Profoto Pro Flash Head. It is compatible with Pro 7, 7B2, 8, and D4 Power Packs. It features a circular, heavy duty quartz flash tube which surrounds the 250 watt modeling lamp. It provides even illumination and maximum light output. It accepts Profoto's system of modular light shaping tools.
The Pro Head includes a Zoom Reflector 2, which slides and locks at your chosen position along the head's chassis. This enables you to control the spread of the light emitted. The Zoom Reflector 2 has a front lip, which accepts honeycomb grids without the need for a spearate adapter.
The included 16' (5 m) head cable features Profoto special connectors for safety, security and convenience, and dual lead technology for reliable performance. All heads feature a 5/8" stand adapter.
Although this head includes a frosted, UV corrected glass dome, other glass covers can be purchased separately to warm or cool and soften or sharpen the light to your personal style. A power supply for this flash head is required.

Comments about Profoto Pro Flash Head for Pro 7, 7B2, 8, D4 Systems:
What can be said about the Profoto Pro Head that hasn't already been said? If you are even considering it, you've already done your homework on this legendary strobe head.
We use many Pro Heads every day in our studio, from product photography to our global beauty campaign shoots. They perform flawlessly, are consistent in color temperature and level every time and are constructed like tanks.
This latest version of the Pro Head includes a positioning handle (removable) as well as the Zoom 2 Reflector. Both items enhance the functionality of the flash and give it an updated look.
The Profoto Pro Head is a must have, studio essential. Highly recommended.

Clean light each time. Consistent, reliable, infallible.
Expensive. The 7b generator is a massive beast to carry long distances.
Still, the best out there.
