profoto a1 review

profoto sent me the A1 to review a few months ago, but something hit me when i started to collect my thoughts about the new profoto a1 flash… i have no idea how to review a camera flash. i’ve never reviewed one before! so, i’ve created a collection of videos to help demo/explain my thoughts more clearly. you’ll see those linked throughout!

This full post is available on my Patreon feed.

my use of flash at weddings is pretty narrow – either bounce flash or direct flash for dragging shutter effects during receptions. the only time i use off camera flash is for commercial/studio work and with that kind of stuff i use much larger paul c. buff einstein heads, however that will change too because of the profoto a1 and the RFI speeding adapter.

Quick Summary

Expensive, but worth it if you need reliable power and crazy accurate auto focus assist.
