Profoto B1/B1X seems to have a fitting issue with its battery (i.e. it does not sit well in place, causing its connection points to frequently disconnect). It can be frustrating when this happens on set.
Understand that there are new replacements for the portable monolights (B10 series), but there are still users of the B1/B1X series, and it would help to provide a battery that sits well in the housing. I like the suggestion of getting an AC adapter for the B1/B1X series, and would hope the battery mould would sit well.
Hope Profoto can address this.
One monohead to rule them all. Same heavy duty form factor with the pro-quality back handle, knob, and stand spigot. 1000 w/s, and can be used with either a high capacity battery, or true AC power. All flash specs equal to or better than the current B1X or D2. This would be THE light for me.
I use four B1s for many years. I also do a lot of workshops and it is annoying that i can't use modeling light diring all day shooting cause it consumes enegry very fast. I would love to see adapter that will replace battery in studio photoshoots.
