Flash Review: Profoto A1 (Canon Version Using Sony Air TTL Trigger)

When the Profoto A1 was announced, I was very curious. Granted, I love lights that are as small as speedlites, but I thoroughly enjoy the power that a full blown monolight provides. I was reminded of that even more so on a recent Sony Press trip.

In many ways and for the wedding photography crowd, the Profoto A1 could be the absolute most perfect light ever made. It offers a whole lot of color consistency, has a fast recycle time, works best with fast lenses, is small, and can integrate with whatever supported camera system you have when used wirelessly. It isn't that bad for location shoots either. Then consider just how fantastic the battery life is and how critical that is to wedding photographers, and you have a product that seems perfect if you're a working pro. .
