Title: profoto pro-6????
Post by: ixpressraf on September 30, 2009, 03:29:07 am: Probably not the exact place to post this question but since most pro's come here i give it a try. I was wondering if anyone has used the profoto pro-6 powerpack. I know of the pro 7 and own a pro 8air myself but I am interested in expanding my gear in a less expensive way. Any comments on the 6 are welcome.

heavy. flash duration is pretty good.
great value for money but just make sure your repair shop has parts for it. they're pretty old already

I bought one that was rebuilt by Profoto and sold with a brand new head. It's worked great for a couple of years and I expect it will continue to for many more.

Parts are readily available and so are shops that can maintain them.

Best,

Ken
