Profoto Compact 600

[Silver] Very compact and works well with my Profoto B2 heads.

[6.98 lb] This is my first time using Profoto gear. I picked up this unit along with the Pro Remote. Incredibly easy to set up; I was able to take some images immediately. Before I purchased this unit, I was considering the B10X. However, in my older setup which was comprised of multiple Canon 600 EX-RTs, I would often gang up four of those speedlites together in order to fill a larger modifier and/or to have extra power. The B10X would have given me the same light output, but I decided on having the extra stop. And very glad I did. In doing an experiment comparing the B10X Plus at max power to four 600 EX-RTs all at max power, it was indeed twice the output; i.e. equivalent to eight 600 EX-RTs! The extra power will not only allow me to use narrower apertures, but now much more freedom to use gels with lower transmission values, and modifiers with multiple diffusion panels. Really like the flexibility of having the detachable stand, though for my usages, I'll also be using that (with C-stands). The modeling light is very bright. Haven't used it yet for video work, but like the ability to control the color temperature. So far, very impressed with Profoto and looking forward to building up my kit with their modifiers and gels.

[Manual Focus] You save about $600 using this. works great. nice & compact. Unless you have $$ to burn, manuals the way to go.

[5.2 x 4 x 3.7"] This kit is compact and provides all the warming gels I need for my location portraits. I use them on my Profoto A1-X and A2.

[2.75 x 2 x 0.3"] There's nothing so out of the ordinary about the Profit Air Remote ... except that it's by Profoto, so it's exceptionally well made and durable. (And compact and light, as well.) It's also sooooo easy to use. I cranked it up right out of the box and it has performed flawlessly ever since. Love this little accessory for my Profoto B10.

[Proprietary] For a mobile lighting solution using Speedlight flash units (Canon 600 and 430 RT), the Rogue assembly including this diffusion panel is an elegant substitute to a softbox, being more compact and much easier to set up. I have been setting up a small-scale mobile studio for situations where the heavier logistics of my Photogenic 320 / PocketWizard set-up with heavy-duty stands, softboxes etc.. is impractical. I have a soft box that can be fitted to the 600 RT, but it is bulky and not straightforward to set up. The Rogue set-up is a good 80% equivalent to the softbox but much more compact and therefore in line with the goals of the small scale studio.

[Black] This is a nicely-padded, compact carry case for for the 150-600. It includes bot a hand hold short strap ad a longer shoulder strap. I use my 150-600 on Canon mirrorless cameras so have a Canon EOS E-RF adapter which is always attached to the lens. it still fits in this case and the hook-n-lop cover still fully closes even with the added 20mm of adapter thickness. Unless you have a large Pelican or Halliburton travel case for your long lenses, this is a decent way to provide some level of protection from minor bumps and scrapes. Although sized for the Tamron 150-600, it will also fit other lenses that are less than 11 inches in length.

[Yes] Lightweight, compact, and easy to setup and breakdown. High quality construction as you would expect from Profoto. Controls light well.

[Yes] I use this with a Profoto Compact 600R strobe. It fits the Profoto speedring, and provides a very large soft light source at a fraction of the price of the same size Profoto softbox. It is excellent when used as a background for high key photos. The only slight drawback is that it does spill a bit of light out of the back -- it's construction is not as robust as my Profoto softboxes, but for the price, it can't be beat.

[Black] Purchased for the compact size - it fits in my large checked suitcase. Very clever design. Weaving the included cone shaped silver reflector inside the umbrella spokes distributes the light from a Profoto B10 uniformly within the diffusion surface. The result is a soft yet somewhat specular light when maintained at close range (about 36 to 48 inchs to the subject). Perfect for head shots for one or two people. It's light duty so care must be taken with handling but it works great when used as intended. Quick and easy to set-up and extremely light weight - important for air travel. The sock that enclosed the light fits tight on the Profoto B10 so it might not fit larger lights.
