What's New?

AirX Compatibility

Adding AirX Bluetooth functionality places the Pro-11 in the company of Profoto’s most technologically advanced lighting tools and “future-proofs” its operation.

  • The AirX App can be used to adjust settings using mobile devices from a distance of up to 100 feet
  • Firmware updates can now be performed without needing to go through the hassle of a USB interface
  • Joins A10 and B10 strobes to form the basis of an AirX ecosystem
  • AirX supports all legacy Air and AirTTL equipped devices

Redesigned Exterior

The Pro-11 maintains a familiar design while implementing a number of tweaks to streamline workflow on set.

  • Bolder, brighter, easier-to-read typeface on the LCD for monitoring settings
  • Improved buttons in line with Profoto’s latest light models
  • Minor changes to user interface for adjusting settings
  • New sound cues

Upgraded Interior

A number of tweaks under the hood have been added to the Pro-11 to improve safety and performance, including:

  • Protective earth is now separated between flash circuits and logic to reduce the risk of exploding flash tubes
  • Creepage distances between high-voltage circuits and protective earth are increased to reduce risk of short circuit from internal condensation
  • Dump circuit redesign
  • New panel, flash, and power circuit boards

Taking the Best from the Pro-10

The Pro-11 shares many of the features that have made its predecessor a rental-house favorite, including its 2-outlet, 2400Ws design, 0.02-0.7s recycle times, and 11-stop power range in 1/10-stop increments. Capable of quick bursts up to 50 flashes per second, the Pro-11 can handle even the fastest subjects with ease. In addition to its built-in wireless capabilities, the Pro-11 also features a ¼" sync socket and USB port. For continuous applications, it can provide a maximum power of 2 x 500W. A fan is incorporated into its build for cooling.
