No idea if it will fit as I don't own that camera... looks like it would clear space for finders and focus/zoom operation of lenses. Correct no 3.5mm sync ports. Interesting why it fires twice. I recommend bringing your camera along to a profoto dealers to test out the features you need to make sure this is a good fit for you.

If you are using Sony version A10 and have used flash before on your A1 camera, then your settings should already be set. 2 things i see often, 1. prople foget to turn on "wireless flash ON" in the camera menu, 2. once you put a flash on your camera hotshoe, wiggle it around a bit to make sure all the pins drop and connect... often the flash may not sit correctly, so it will give you manual model flash (middle pin connected) and not other features like TTL/HSS, until all the pins are lined up and connceted. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'm using Spider Holster - I love it and saves my back after 12 hr days :)

This is to control Profoto lights (B10X, A10, A2, etc) from your Sony camera

@@RaphNogalPhotography I am out buying a fx3 did not like myfx30 so I will read about it later on thx

Seems pretty solid, but it is plastic. I'm also waiting for the SOny version so I can put it to the test in the field.

@@RaphNogalPhotography Turns out the mount was failing especially because one of the screws had completely come out of its hole and the others were all loose. In addition, I was getting only about 1 frame per second, which turned out to be a firmware issue. All back to proper function now!

@@RaphNogalPhotography Same!

The wheel on the unit operates smoothly with no issues at all. Stefano

I have gone through 4 remotes and the wheel was stiff on all 4. All 4 were purchased at different times hoping the problem was solved. My last was purchased last week. I have returned all 4. I asked profoto if they could send me a unit where the wheel was not stiff and they said they could not since they don’t know which have been corrected. The only way they could ensure I received a working unit was to buy one and send it in to be repaired. Seems a little backwards to me.

They are trying... So sometimes, when the crysis will pass away, probably yes ))))

what new adapter?

@@RayValdezPhotography Profoto Clic is here - but there is a new one on its way which is their own design and it is better - too many complaints about the Clic - I got this from Profoto Rep directly - I am in UK and know personally quite a few reps from Fuji Leica Profoto and Teamworkphoto is where I buy all my Phase One and studio gear.

@@nelsonclub7722 i have the first clic or magnet products. they are all cracking and falling part. i just went with magmod. the weight sucks on magmod but it works so good.

@@RayValdezPhotography Agree I use the original OCF one they produced where the Profoto actually locks in - so much more secure - I thought the Clic which was a copy of 'Angler' was hopeless in the real world. THis new design should be somewhere between the two - there is one other issue I encountered with fold up brolly style diffusers and that is that in some shots you can see the frames of the mechanism as shadows!!!!!!

They don't I have run two batteries back to back 750+ shots in very quick succession - zero issues

That is a B10 Plus / B10X Plus with an OCF Magnum Reflector

@@RaphNogalPhotography thanks Raph. What’s the difference between the a10 & a2? Which do you prefer?

@@Poopdeck1015 Depends on your use, but I find the A10 more versatile as it can serve as on-camera and off-camera solution. If you are buying your first profoto strobe, perhaps the A2 would suit the bill.

@@RaphNogalPhotography I’ve only ever used Profoto in a studio. Not owned one but I’m looking for something portable so the a10 seems better thanks 😊

Hi, I have not had any issues with the remote connection on my Sony cameras. You do need to make sure the pins are in and you might have to wiggle lightly to make sure the pin sits, but I had the same with Nikon when I used them. You do want the remotes to sit on there nice and snug.

@@RaphNogalPhotography thank you Raph. You’re the only person who has replied to me on this issue. Much appreciated for your time, it’s very thoughtful for you to reply. I ordered one. Got the last of them :)

@@Poopdeck1015 My pleasure, hope it serves you well!

@@RaphNogalPhotography subbed :)

I can try to do a test when I get some time. On paper A10s dont list the color temp, but A2 says 5800 K +-100 K, i would imagine they would be close if not the same spec, but i'll do a test when I can

@@RaphNogalPhotography yes, please do the test! thanks!

@@RaphNogalPhotography I would be interested in that, too!

400 shots at full power.

profoto is about convenience and quality. broncolor hasnt updated anything in a long time. Profoto is the easiest system to work with and might be the most reliable strobe company.

@@RayValdezPhotography Profoto has bought up Creative Light company and selling their softboxes… the price is more than double and no development. I can’t see convenience and extra quality in this - only profit hunger.

@@feherberci Compared to what companies Broncoolor charges the most, godox charges the less as the cheapest decent company but probably have way less overhead and might use copycat R&D so they can charge less. This is a development. Most of the profoto lights, not talking about softboxes, from profoto seem to be their own designs.

Have used them all but if i need to hire or buy i always go with Profoto. Broncolor have all the features but just too complicated for assistants that i use and they are not robust enough for location stuff. Great if you have unlimited budget (which nobody has) and only use in studio. Also broncolor dont have a great workd service or rental network like profoto do.

the light is weaker than the a1 which is sad.

Well this isn't garbage so no

@@justinoff1 I have several, they're great. But hey whatever makes you feel better, if you want to pretend these lights aren't also made in CHY-NA then that's on you

@@evocati6523 oh they're def made in China but the profoto is serviceable unlike the other brands which are ewaste if they stop working

@@justinoff1 I prefer just buy another New one and have it delivered in days with 1/6 of the price instead sending to Profoto servicing and wating weeks with ridiculous cost.

@@cassiuschen268 if you're a working professional profoto takes 5 days where I'm at through Silvino. But hey, if you prefer cheap disposable ewaste... that's on you. 100w isn't enough light for me anyway.

Im in the same boat Ted. Trying to figure out where this light will fit in considering I own A10/B10X.

NIgel, I agree. I'm having a hard time figuring out where this light will fit in my lighting arsenal.

@@RaphNogalPhotography for those who don’t own any Profoto products I plan to start with an A2 and the new Leica trigger. Will add a B10X Plus down the road. Great path to get into Profoto gear.

Check with you local dealer, but I believe it's $1,275.00 CAD

Sebastian, I'm looking into this too. I also find it annoying. I'll update my reply when I hear back from them.

@@RaphNogalPhotography I connected to the Connect Pro via the Profoto Control app. I was asked to install new firmware A2 (FE9FC31C), and then I registered the device via the app despite I had already registered it days ago directly on the Profoto website. When I turn on the Connect Pro the initial registration message doesn't show up anymore. Not sure if it is the result of the new firmware or the second registration done via the app. One way or the other, problem solved here. Stefano

@@smaruzzi Awesome! I'll need to check that out ASAP and see if it was firmware or second registration. Thanks for letting me know!

My registration update on the profoto app keeps failing. What do I do now?

I agree, we should definitely be way past moving away from AAA batteries.

Practically speaking in the field it is - to me - more handy to simply add more batteries when empty. I can't really connect a power bank while using it.

Well that's subjectinve. To me it has simple lines, curved adges, looks clean...... so i say sleek lol but to each their own :)

@@RaphNogalPhotography Fair enough. I did order mine today though (sleek or not). LOL

All valid points!

The size is determined by functionality, including battery duration, and is easy to use, and who cares about the shinier part?

100% I hope the same!

It sits similarly like the AirTTL remote, slanty... so you can see the interface. TTL version with specific brands (Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Leica) and a generic non-TTL version (single pin, like the one in my video) with will not have TTL or HSS but will be able to trigger from any camera with a hotshoe. I believe price point is a little less than the AirTTL remote, but check with you local dealer for specific pricing.

Indeed!

Yes 100% you will get HSS and TTL with dedicated brand remotes (Sony, NIkon, Canon, Fuji, Leica). There is a non-ttl version (like the one in my video) that has a single pin and will fire from any camera, but that particular version (non-ttl version) will not have TTL or HSS. Hope that helps.

Yes it is

The flash only fired once. The 3 reflections are due to the mirror bevel... it's a triple reflection off the mirror, not the flash firing 3 times. Hope that helps!

@@RaphNogalPhotography now i get it, thanks!
