Overview

The Profoto B10X is a cordless off-camera flash and continuous light designed for professional photographers who need serious output in a portable package. Delivering 250Ws of flash power — roughly equivalent to five speedlights combined — it provides ample illumination for portraits, editorial work, product shoots, and event coverage. The integrated LED modeling lamp has been upgraded with 30% more continuous light output, making it a genuinely usable video and constant light source for previsualization and hybrid photo-video workflows.

Where the B10X truly distinguishes itself is in speed and portability. Recycle times as fast as 0.05 seconds mean you can fire in rapid succession at reduced power, while flash durations reaching 1/42,000 second freeze even the fastest motion with razor-sharp precision. The entire unit weighs just 3.3 pounds and measures roughly the size of a pro zoom lens, making it easy to pack in a shoulder bag alongside camera bodies and lenses. Cordless battery operation, compatibility with all Profoto Air Remotes, and built-in AirX Bluetooth for app-based control give photographers complete flexibility to position and adjust the light without running cables or physically reaching the unit. It integrates seamlessly with the broader Profoto ecosystem, including the A-series flashes and the full range of Profoto light-shaping tools.
