Hi,
I found a good deal on a used Profoto B2 lamp head($500) and wanted to see if anyone else is using two heads for portraits and other assignments considering the 250 available watts and the 1/3 power loss with extension cable.
I wanted to use the second head for clamshell lighting with Elinchrom Octa 39" on top and a Profoto 1x3' RFI striplight for fill. I can wanted to use the second lamp for edge lighting with 2 1x3' strip lights and Profoto B1 as frontal light.
I don't mind pushing the ISO up to 400-800 if necessary for depth of field since 250watts split is not a lot.
I feel it's probably better to just get a 2nd B2 pack or another B1(about $1500-1600 used) since head is $500, extension cable is $200 and additonal battery is $229.
