3. How does the B30 compare to similar 500Ws flashes?

Unlike budget alternatives, the B30 offers consistent color temperature (6000K ±100K), user-replaceable flash tubes, and premium build quality. The integrated bi-color LED eliminates the need for separate modeling lights. While Godox offers lower-priced options, Profoto's reliability and service network justify the investment for professional use.
4. What maintenance does the B30 require?

Clean the exterior with a lint-free microfiber cloth after each shoot. Check battery contacts monthly for corrosion. The user-replaceable flash tube (available separately) typically lasts 50,000+ cycles. Store batteries at 50% charge for long-term preservation. Avoid touching the flash tube directly to prevent oils affecting performance.
5. Why choose Profoto over other flash manufacturers?

Profoto's Swedish engineering ensures consistent color accuracy and exceptional build quality. The AirX system provides reliable wireless connectivity up to 30 meters. With 120+ compatible modifiers and global service support, Profoto flashes retain their value and performance for years. The ECO mode extends equipment lifespan beyond typical industry standards.
