Put together for image makers who require a practical setup for video or still, the Profoto B10X OCF Flash Head and 1.3 x 1.3' OCF Softbox Kit from B&H bundles the 250Ws B10X OCF Flash Head with a 1.3 x 1.3' square softbox, 9.5' light stand, and speed ring.
Building on the laurels of the B10, Profoto pushes the envelope still further for photographers and videographers with the B10X OCF Flash Head, which has shortened the recycling time to just 1.3 seconds at full power over a 10-stop power range. The flash is also TTL and High Speed Sync capable and its continuous LED modeling light is powerful (10,000 lux with an OCF Magnum reflector) enough to shoot video with the same camera that you use to shoot stills. In fact, you can vary the color temperature from 3000 to 6500K, and its high CRI of 90-96 is your assurance of accurate color reproduction. Additionally, the battery will give you 65 minutes run time at full power.
Another outstanding feature is the multitude of triggering options. The flash has a built-in AirX receiver with a range of 330' with the purchase of a dedicated remote transmitter and 90' using Bluetooth devices like your smartphone.
This 1.3 x 1.3' Profoto OCF Softbox is part of the Off Camera Flash accessory system intended for to B1s and B10s OCF Flash Heads. Light weight and speed are evident throughout its construction. The fixed front diffuser saves on setup time, as do the color-coded support rods that mount quickly to the separately-purchased, patent-pending speed ring. This 1.3 x 1.3' square softbox is ideal for fill light or use as a hairlight. Its size makes it a good choice for product or tabletop work. An optional fabric grid is available to narrow the softbox's beam and add directional control.
OCF Speed ring (sold separately) is required to assemble OCF Softboxes
The Speed Ring for OCF Flash Heads from Profoto is part of the Off-Camera Flash system developed for the B2 head but is also compatible with the B1 and B10s Off-Camera Flash. The speed ring has been scaled down and fitted with an easy patent-pending snap-in system for the softbox rods while the hard rubber collar has been replaced with a lighter weight silicone rubber substitute. The speed ring and optional softbox are able to rotate 360 degrees.
This Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stand is a black anodized aluminum support that rises to a height of 9.5' and folds down to 42" for storage and transport. The stand will handle up to 22 lb and is topped with a removable 5/8" spigot with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads. It has a wide footprint of 52" for greater stability. Air cushioning gently lowers the light when making height adjustments to protect equipment and fingers.
