Stand mounting
1. Fit the Stand adapter [3] to a light stand and secure it with the
Clamp screw [4].
2. The B1X unit can be directed upwards/downwards when the Tilt-
lock knob [2] is loosened. Fasten the Tilt-lock knob [2] when the
unit is correctly directed.
Mounting Profoto Light Shaping Tools
The B1X’s built-in reflector creates a wide and even light spread with a
high output. In addition, the B1X is compatible with more than 120 light
shaping tools, which can be used to shape its already beautiful light
into almost any light you can imagine.
All tools with standard reflector mount (rubber collar with
clasp)
Most reflectors are equipped with Profoto’s unique clamp mechanism,
which makes them easy to mount and allows you to shape the light by
simply sliding the reflector back and forth along the zoom scale [6].
1. Unlock the clasp on the reflector.
2. Slide the reflector onto the B1X. Use the zoom scale [6] to place the
reflector in the desired position.
3. Secure by locking the clasp on the reflector.
Umbrella mounting
Umbrellas are easily mounted by sliding the umbrella shaft into the
Umbrella holder [7]. The umbrella shaft diameter must be between 7
mm and 8 mm in order to fit. When an umbrella is used, it is not possible
to mount an external reflector at the same time.
1. Slide the umbrella shaft into the Umbrella holder [7].
2. After a few centimeters, there will be more friction, then continue to
slide the umbrella shaft a few more centimeters into the Umbrella
holder [7].
