Flash tubes and modelling lights emit considerable heat and can be dangerous if not used properly. Always unplug the lamp cable from the generator before changing modelling light, glass cover or flash tube. Under no circumstances are generators or heads to be opened! There is high voltage inside the generator! Service is only to be ca

Thanks! 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-7 comes very close. It is the best series we have ever manufactured. Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and stri

Profotos founders Eckhard Heine och Conny Dufgran, At ”Photokina”, Cologne, Germany 1968 ”A photographer’s tools are a natural part of the creative process. Like a painter’s brush, an artist’s chisel or a musician’s instrument, their form and design should reflect their function, they should have the right feel, and they should be aesthetically pleasing”. 5

ProHead The modelling light is turned on and off with the black switch [1] at the back of the head. The built-in fan can easily be switched between continuous and thermostat-controlled operations [2]. Please note that when changing modelling light, flash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the generator. The modelling light has a mini-can socket (E11). The flash tube has two metal pins. When removing a flash tube, pull it straight out of the sockets. When inserting a new

Pro-7b head The Pro-7b head is a small and easily transportable flash head exclusively designed for the Pro-7b generator. Please note that when changing modelling light, flash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be disconnected from the genera- tor. The modelling light is a standard 100W lamp with an E11 socket. The flash tube has two pins. When removing a flash tube, pull it straight out of the sockets. When inserting a new flash tube, check that the trigger-wire clasps properly around the flash

ProTwin The ProTwin is used to obtain extremely short flash duration, very quick recycling or to get 4800 Ws out of one single head. There are two flash tubes in a ProTwin. As the flash duration is shorter at low power settings, and as only half of the desired power is used in each tube, consequently shorter flash duration is obtained. For example if you need 1200 Ws, you fire 600 Ws from each tube, and your flash duration is shorter than if a standard ProHead is used. The flash dura- tion at 1200 Ws w

Pro-7 ring The ring flash fits all Pro-7 generators, and is an entirely mobile source of light. The interior diameter of 100 mm pro- vides plenty of space for professional camera lenses. Since the camera holder can be tilted forward and backwards, as well as upwards and downwards, most cameras can be attached. This makes an excellent source of light in cramped areas, such as the interior of an automobile. Many fashion photographers also use the ring flash to find new angles and capture details. The

Pro-7a 1200/2400 Generator Brief Instructions Connect the generator to the mains supply with the enclosed power cable [1]. The green lamp [3] should now light up indicating acceptable AC current to the generator. • Connect the desired lamp heads to the sockets A, B1 & B2 [2]. • Use the control [15] marked MOD.LIGHT to choose modelling light mode. • Press the button [4] marked ON to start charging. The white ready lamp [11] will light up when the generator is fully charged. • Choose energy distri

[1] [2] [3] Energy Distribution When only one lamp head is in use, choose the A socket. Only the A socket can be used to release the generator’s total energy to one lamp head. Use dial A to adjust energy in 1/3 f:stop increments from full (1/1) down to (1/8) energy, which is [6] equivalent to four [4] f:stops. PLEASE NOTE ! When the dial is positioned to release more than 1/2 energy (within the area marked A ONLY) always point the dial B towards the red indicator [16]. If this is not done, the

[4] [6] [9] PLEASE NOTE! The energy output is determined by the energy dials A and B. The energy out- put will remain consistent, regardless of which lamp sockets are used or the number of lamp heads connected to them. Energy dumping is not necessary as long as the dial MASTER is turned to MAX. Energy Control The generator’s total energy is regulated with the control MASTER (6). The total energy can be adjusted in 1/6 f:stop increments from MAX down to minus 8/6 f:stops equivalent to 1 1/3 f:s

[11] [13] [14] Connecting Camera and Flash Meter The two sync sockets [9] allow the camera and flash meter to be connected simultaneously. The 5 meter sync cord can without restrictions be elongated with a sync extension cable. Con- [15] necting generators can be done by means of the Profoto sync interconnection cord or by so called ”hard wiring”. Recharging The recharging starts when the push-button [4] is activated. Slow, fast or turbo recharge can be chosen. When the two push-buttons [13] FAST

[6] [8] [10] Photocell The built-in photocell [8] will sense flash release as well as IR-signals from most IR-trans- mitters. The photocell is disabled when the button [10] SLAVE is released. Bracketing Manual exposure variations are performed as follows: • Point the MASTER control [6] at the arrow and release an ”open” flash by pressing the test button [11]. • Set the lighting as you would normally do, determine the appropriate f:stop and shoot the first frame. • Turn the MASTER control to the
