[via Rob Galbraith DPI] Profoto has introduced out two new battery powered flash packs, both of which feature Lithium Ion Iron Phosphate (LiFe) batteries to reduce pack size and weight and provide an impressive number of full power pops. The Pro-B3 1200 AirS is rated at 1200ws, features a full power recycling time of 1.8 seconds and 300 full power pops per charge. The AcuteB2 600 AirS is rated at 600ws, recycles in 2 seconds after firing at maximum and delivers 200 full power pops per charge. A big selling point to these new packs is the backward compatibility for those who have already invested in Profoto equipment. Not only is the ProHead, Pro-B head, and ProRing2 fully compatible, but you can also use the Pro-B3′s LiFe battery with the older Pro-7b pack and vice versa. Similarly, the AcuteB2′s LiFe battery can be used in the AcuteB, and the AcuteB’s sealed lead acid battery can be used in the AcuteB2. [via 1ProPhoto.com] |  | |
