The AcuteB Head to Acute2 Pack Defusenik

By Jon Roemer On 19 Jan ’11 · Leave a Comment

This happened on a shoot late last year, thought I’d pass it along. There are probably others like me who own both Profoto AcuteB and Acute2 packs and heads. Great kits, you can use all of the same modifiers, but despite having the same cable-to-pack connectors you cannot interchange the heads.
