    Very light weight, sturdy, dependable 250ws power from the B10X.

    This is a fabulous idea from Profoto. I put my A1 flash unit in this adapter and then it fits on my OCF soft boxes and other flash umbrellas. Sometimes you just don't need 1000 watt light.

    High-Speed Sync (Hi-S) with Profoto remotes High-Speed Sync (Hi-S) requires no additional setup on the B10X/ B10X Plus, once the Air channel and group setup is done. High-Speed Sync is activated on your remote or camera. When High-Speed Sync is activated by the remote, the Hi-S indicator temporarily appears on the menu display
