Profoto AcuteB 600 Acute B Lithium Battery Powered Lighting System

Description

This is a great way to get into a Profoto system (the best - and most expensive - in the business) for a low price. Willing to consider offers
Retailing at 06 when it first came out in 2009 (27 in today's dollars), the Profoto AcuteB 600 Generator is a powerful yet ultra-compact battery-powered flash pack with the capacity for 160 full-power bursts per charge. This kit comes with:
*Profoto ActueB Battery Powered 600 w/s pack
*Profoto AcuteB 600 w head
*Head cover
*TWO batteries (the original lead-based battery is heavy and pretty much dead so I replaced it with a Lithium Ion battery that weighs 2.5 pounds less. You can easily replace the cell in the lead battery with another Lithium Ion battery for about ).
*TWO chargers (one for each battery)
*AcuteB Disc Reflector (you can purchase a Profoto speed ring to attach Octos and softboxes...head has hole/adapter for umbrellas built in)
*Carrying case that fits everything including extra battery and extra charger.
I have shot with this in my studio predominantly. Maybe 30 one hour sessions. I've only taken it outside on location maybe 6 times. It's in great shape and functions as new. Only selling because I'm replacing it with smaller, lighter (and much more expensive) Profoto gear.
The AcuteB 600R has a seven f/stop range from 9 to 600 w/s, and features a replaceable and rechargeable lithium ion battery that can easily be swapped out while on location and recharged with the included multi-voltage charger. This power pack weighs 8 pounds, 2 ounces WITH battery installed. Note that the replacement battery doesn't usually show all 3 battery lights lit, but is actually fully charged. Compact Design
Measuring only 7.5 x 7.5 x 5" and weighing about 8 pounds, the Acute B 600 is extremely portable
*A built in light sensitive slave can be switched on or off
*Switchable signal beeps when unit is fully recycled
*Seven F-Stop Range
Power output can be dialed down 7 stops from 600 to 9 w/s in 2/10ths step increments
*Fast Recycling
Valuable for shooting sequences of action
*Fast Flash Duration
Excellent for freezing action of moving subjects
*Modeling Light Circuitry
Continuous (with AC adapter) and battery-powered for easy positioning of lights.
