Pro-7 Manual Profoto, Stockholm, Sweden.

Safety Instructions

Profoto generators and ﬂash heads are part of a complete professional lighting system.

Please read the instruction manual carefully before use. 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 carried out by authorised personnel.

.Never connect accessories of other brands without consulting an

authorised service station.

.Do not touch hot glass or metal parts.

.Do not obstruct ventilation.

.Do not connect the lamp head with the transport cap in place.

.Never place ﬁlters or diffusing material directly onto glass covers, ﬂash tubes or

modelling lights.

.Never position the light extremely close to people.

.When mounting umbrellas, do not touch ﬂash tubes or modelling lights

with the metal shaft – risk of high voltage.

.Always use a grounded power supply/mains outlet.

.Protect the ﬂash equipment against moisture, condensation, heat, sand and dirt.

ﬁt the Pro-7 system

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 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!

”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”.

Profotos founders Eckhard Heine och Conny Dufgran,

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 ﬂash tube,

check that the trigger-wire clasps properly around the ﬂash

tube (please see mounting instructions in package). When

mounting the glass cover, check that both locking springs

connect properly into glass cover holes. In case the head

overheats the modelling light automatically switches off.

When the temperature has dropped sufficiently the modelling

light will switch on again. At the back of the head there is an

opening for attaching accessories such as ﬁlters and barn doors.

There are glass covers for different colour temperatures

available.

Loosening the handle [4] can easily alter the ﬂash head posi-

tion. An umbrella can be mounted in the umbrella holder.

The ProHead is normally delivered with a 250W modelling

lamp but can be equipped with a 500W lamp if using the

longer (100mm) glass cover used on the ProTwin.

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 tube (please see mounting instructions in

package). The head has no fan. Because of the heat generat-

ed there is a certain limitation to the number of ﬂashes per

minute. At the back of the head there is an opening for

attaching accessories like ﬁlters and barn doors.

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 with a ProHead is 1/2200 while it is only

1/3200 with a ProTwin. One or two generators can be used.

If, on the contrary, you require 4800Ws from one head you

connect ProTwin to two Pro-7/2400 generators. For the

same reason shorter recycling times is obtained when two

generators are used, as the recycling is faster when the gen-

erators in fact only need to recharge half the energy.

Flash duration and recycling for a ProTwin at a certain power

setting - for example 1200 Ws - compares with a ProHead

set at 600 Ws.

The modelling light is turned on and off with the black switch

[1] at the back of the head. The fan is controlled by a built-in

thermostat, which can be disconnected with the blue switch

[2] after which the fan operates continuously.

Please note that when changing modelling light, ﬂash tube
