Profoto Pro-7 Camera Accessories User Manual


 
Thanks for showing us your confidence by investing in a Profoto Pro-7 system. For
more than three decades we have sought the perfect light. What pushes us is the convic-
tion that we can even offer the most demanding photographer yet better tools. Still we
know that we will never be able to offer the best light there is; the natural sunlight. But
Pro-7comes very close. It is the best series we have ever manufactured.
Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing
program. We check that they pass the quality and capacity levels the most demanding
photographers require. For this reason our flash equipment is the standard in most
rental studios in New York and Tokyo and the most rented flash all over the world. The sys-
tem consists of different generators built and designed to meet the demands of the
most demanding photographers on this planet. Yet the most important thing is the
light you create and it is then essential that the system offers freedom to create your
own light. The Pro-7 heads offer you this possibility in particular. The light source, both
the flash tube and the modelling light, is placed high and free in the flash head. This
makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity. The reflectors are
moveable and lock easily into place. You can move the source of light toward the focus of
the reflector to reflect the light backwards before it is projected forward. This is not
new, of course. Our flash heads have always been designed that way. What is new, however,
is our new glass cover, which is designed to increase precision. The Pro-7 head and the
Pro-7 twin are supplied with a frosted and UV-coated cover glass, which together with the
flash tube, produces a colour temperature adapted to daylight colour film. There are
glass covers with varying filtration, for greater changes.
The whole Pro-7 system is modular. Every single reflector and accessory creates its spe-
cial light and the unique Profoto focusing system offers you a possibility to create your own
light with only a few different reflectors.
Thanks!
