The XPLOR 400 Pro is noticeably bigger than the B10 and over a pound heavier at 4.6 pounds, and it’s interface isn’t exactly as straightforward, but the cost savings make it a very attractive choice for photographers who want to be able to create studio-quality lighting virtually anywhere. Other features include a 9-stop adjustable power range, five wireless control groups, and a native Godox modifier mount for attaching lighting modifiers (Flashpoint is a rebrand of Godox, a popular Chinese lighting manufacturer). In fact, the EXPLOR 400 Pro costs about as much as a high-end Canon or Nikon speedlight.

It lacks the same level of refinement as the B10, but it offers 400 watt-seconds of output, up to 390 full-power flashes from the rechargeable battery, 1-second recycle time at full power, and a 30-watt modeling lamp - all for significantly less money than the B10. The Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro, like the Profoto B10, is a portable, battery-powered studio light with wireless connectivity and TTL support (which goes beyond the big tree of Canon, Nikon, and Sony to also include Fujifilm and Olympus/Panasonic). Why we picked the Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro: Who’s it for: Beginners, students, and photography enthusiasts Why you should buy this: Most of the capability of the Profoto B10 for less than half the price.

The best affordable portable studio light: Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro We feel the original Profoto B10 still hits the sweet spot between output and portability, and that’s why it’s our pick. Profoto now makes a B10 Plus, as well, which offers twice the flash power but is longer and nearly a pound heavier. It’s almost a shame that the B10 costs so much, as it would otherwise make for an excellent choice for beginners in addition to photographers making money with their craft. While it’s undoubtedly a very advanced light, it is also incredibly easy to use thanks to a simple user interface and support for TTL metering for automatic exposure control with Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras (an optional universal trigger will work with other brands, but without TTL or high-speed sync functionality). This wouldn’t be our first recommendation for a dedicated video light, but hybrid shooters will appreciate the option. It also connects directly to Profoto lighting modifiers like beauty dishes and soft boxes with an easy-to-use slide-on collar system.īeyond the flash capability, there is also a dimmable, color-temperature-adjustable LED modeling lamp that can output up to 2,500 lumens, enough for some video applications. Depending on the power, the flash recharges as quickly as 0.05 seconds, or just 2 seconds at full power. Power can be turned down by as many 10 stops, giving a flexible range to balance the flash with a wide variety of ambient light levels. With 250 watt-seconds of output, it is considerably brighter than the average external flash, yet the rechargeable battery still grants 400 full-powered flashes.
The Profoto B10 combines studio lighting power with go-anywhere portability. Who’s it for: Enthusiasts and professionals Why you should buy this: High flash output in a compact form factor for bringing the studio to the field. The best photography light overall: Profoto B10 Best video lighting on a budget: Viltrox L116T RA.Best cheap on-camera flash: Godox VING 860II.
Best cheap photography lighting kit: Interfit FLA2002K1 Studio Essentials.
