Will this work with film cameras such as Mamiya 7ii?
Do you know what CTO strength you used for the outdoors shoot? Looks great but am unfortunately not able to tell from the video.
This is amazing. Is the canon 1v work flawlessly with the Profoto connect pro ttl?
Canon R5, RF 24-70 2.8, Profoto A1… photos look like a disposable camera…
???
The light that comes out of all profoto lights is beautiful but these A2’s are a POOR effort, they are not strong enough, the Godox 100 is almost 2 times as powerful the A10 is more powerful, They fall out if the soft box and to NOT TELL YOUR AUDIENCE THAT IS SAD…
Creators have to stop saying what these companies want to hear so they get the next product sent to them. YOUR AUDIENCE IS WHY YOU ARE HERE ❤
How does the film camera connect to the flash? Thanks in advance.
Which flash would you recommend A2 or A10?
I have the A2 and the Clic Softbox. I took it to my recent trip to The Philippines. It performed flawlessly. I have videos on my channel.
Looks like 1/2 CTO for me.
Hi Greg - thanks for the user insight! How well does the magnet work - ie, have you experienced any issues with the A2 "loosening or falling off"? many thanks, Georg
If money were the secondary concern to portability for street and evening event portraiture and possibly video content, would you prefer the A2 or B10X+?
Most situations did not require flash at all imo - the light could be narrowed in a postprocess easily. I know that it was mostly about the product presentation, but most of the photos were really poor, harsh light. Of course the reason most probably being is a small, shallow softbox. We can't obey the physics :-) I don't bash Profoto here - we do own A1 and B10. But for quite some time I have also assisted during the weddings using Elinchrom ELB400 + Deep Octa 100cm - the results would be a night and day .... mostly because of the softbox quality ....
I use B10 or other flash every shot I ever take, I like the look 🙂
thanks for the review!
what is the temperature of the modeling light?
3500k
Does it work with the wireless button free trigger?
It works with any Profoto Air Triggers, that includes the small Profoto Connect that looks like a button.
What about the comments I’m seeing where it’s stated that the A1 has greater flash output than the A2?
The beam angle is much wider on A2 when compared to A10. That’s where the impression comes from.
@@khttim it was demonstrated by more than one people on UA-cam that no matter a2 and a10 were used, the a10 produced almost a full stop more power
You can't expect a good outcome when the person shooting the photos to demonstrate how good the flash is starts off by saying he's short on time. Then he was talking and moving so quickly that I began feeling anxious watching this video. And....the photos were not good quality, which is what you would expect from a rushed "photo shoot". Not a good representation of this Profoto flash, and as others mentioned earlier, I too have been reading that that $1,000 light falls out of the softbox. I'm not a Profoto basher. I own several B10s and an A1X. My only complaint (other than the prices) is the pins on the A1X (Sony) hot shoe. They get bent very easily, making the flash inoperable when mounted on the camera's hot shoe. I have to send mine away for service after very little use.
Totally agree Ken. The pins are always getting damaged. I bought a godox flash and only use that on camera now.
What is the price
$1000
Its just not powerful enough. It needs to be at least 200W to use a softbox. I use 250w B10s all the time and wish they were even smaller but its just physics i guess. I would buy a A2 if they bring out a 200W version.
Those photos were absolutely garbage. I’m completely turned off from the product if this is what it produces
Yeah I’m not dropping $1000 for a light that small 🤣🤣🤣
Instead of 'room on your bag' he said "real estate in your bag"! why why whyyyyyy. this American type UA-camr speak is very annoying!!
