p.1 #1 · Profoto 7a and Profoto 7B compatibility


Anyone know if using a Pro7 head on a 7B generator will cause any problem? I know that the Pro7 head has a 250w modeling bulb and a fan, so when plugging this head into the 7B generator, the modeling light still works but only up to a 100W and the fan would not turn on. Since the 7B generator has only 1200ws max power and 100W modeling light, there's no chance I can blow anything up on the Pro7 head(?).

What about using the 7B head on a Pro7a 2400ws generator? I haven't tried plugging the 7b head into the 7a head but is this even possible?

I have both the 7B and the 7a generator with heads and would like to be able to use them interchangeably.

Thanks

The Pro 7 head will work perfectly on the 7B, but the 7b head should not be used on 7a. I believe it will fit just fine, but the 7b head is convection cooled and won't last long plugged into 7a pack.

You can go to: http://www.profoto.com/products/profoto/generators/pro7/pro-7a-2400 and http://www.profoto.com/products/profoto/generators/battery/pro-7b-1200 and then click on the "Technical data" tabs to see Profoto's lists of compatible heads.

The short answer is, you can use your 7a's heads on your 7B, but Profoto says not the other way around.
