1. Is the Profoto B1 compatible with Sony and other camera brands?
The B1 works with any camera using sync cable or optical slave triggering. However, TTL functionality requires Canon or Nikon cameras with compatible Air Remote TTL transmitters. Manual triggering supports all camera brands universally.

2. What warranty and shipping options are available for the Profoto B1?
The Profoto B1 includes manufacturer warranty coverage. Free standard shipping applies on orders above ₹1500 INR[web content]. Professional support and firmware updates are available directly from Profoto's website via mini-USB connection.

3. How does the Profoto B1 compare to Godox AD600 alternatives?
The B1 excels in color consistency (±150K vs 350K shift), build quality, and TTL-to-manual conversion capability. The AD600 offers more flashes per battery (500 vs 220) and costs significantly less, but the B1 provides superior color accuracy and professional ecosystem integration.

4. What maintenance is required for optimal B1 performance?
Regular battery cycling every 300 charge cycles maintains 80% capacity. Keep firmware updated via USB connection. Clean battery contacts and modeling light regularly. The LED modeling light eliminates bulb replacement needs unlike traditional tungsten systems.

5. Why choose Profoto B1 over other battery flash systems?
Profoto's reputation for reliability, consistent color temperature, and extensive modifier compatibility makes the B1 ideal for professional work requiring dependable results. The seamless TTL integration and robust build quality justify the investment for photographers prioritizing consistency over cost savings.
