Looking for Profoto B1X Hire in Melbourne?

If you’re searching for Profoto B1X hire in Melbourne, the Pro-B3 is the high-output battery-powered alternative available from GET A GRIP VAN. It retains the familiar self-contained Profoto workflow while providing 750Ws of output—approximately 0.6 of a stop more power than the 500Ws B1X—along with a wider adjustment range, shorter flash durations and current AirX connectivity.

Key Features

  • 750Ws of battery-powered flash — substantial output for location work, large light shapers and situations where flash needs to compete with strong ambient light.

  • 11-stop power range — adjustable from 0.8Ws to 750Ws in precise 0.1-stop increments.

  • Fast recycling — recycle times from 0.01 to 2.3 seconds help the Pro-B3 keep pace with fast-moving shoots.

  • Flash durations up to 1/75,000 second — Freeze mode is designed for capturing movement, splashing liquids, fabric and other fast-moving subjects.

  • Up to 250 full-power flashes per charge — the removable lithium-ion battery can be swapped during longer shooting days and charged while the light is in use.

  • Three operating modes — ECO prioritises colour consistency and equipment longevity, Boost provides additional maximum output, and Freeze delivers the shortest possible flash duration.

  • Improved battery efficiency in ECO mode — in practical use, I’ve found ECO mode noticeably extends shooting time from each battery, particularly when working below full power. It is the recommended mode for most location work unless the extra output of Boost or the shortest flash duration of Freeze is specifically required.

  • Daylight-balanced LED light — the 56W, 6,300-lumen LED can be used as a modelling light or continuous light, with a CRI above 92 and adjustable output from 1–100%.

  • Built-in Profoto AirX — wireless triggering and control across 100 channels and six groups, with TTL and High-Speed Sync available when used with a compatible Profoto remote.

  • Bluetooth connectivity — settings, remote control and firmware updates are available through the Profoto Control app.

  • Designed for demanding location work — a rubberised housing, durable internal components and an industrial-grade quartz flash tube provide additional protection for professional use.

  • Compatible with Profoto light shapers — works with Profoto softboxes, reflectors, umbrellas, grids and other light-shaping tools.

The Profoto Pro-B3 is a powerful 750Ws battery-powered monobloc designed for demanding location photography. It brings the power, speed and consistency of Profoto’s Pro range into a self-contained head that can operate away from mains power. With plenty of output for balancing flash against daylight, fast recycling and extremely short flash durations, it is well suited to commercial, fashion, automotive, sports and editorial shoots where mobility and reliability are equally important.
