Profoto has been making some very interesting moves lately, and with the Profoto A1 just being announced photographers have what the company is calling the smallest studio strobe ever made. The Profoto A1 is a 76 watt second flash that can work in the hot shoe and uses its own Li-Ion battery.

It's partially because of this that Profoto says that it can recycle up to four times faster than other on-camera solutions. Unfortunately, it's only coming in Canon and Nikon TTL at the moment--which is a total bummer for those of us who use mirrorless cameras. That battery also helps because there is an Air remote built in--just like there is with every other modern Profoto light. There's also a massive LCD Screen on the back. . thephoblographer.com
