The
Profoto A1 might be the smallest flash we’ve ever made, but it’s still built to
the same impossibly high standards we’ve set ourselves over the last fifty
years.
Our
focus with the A1 was to create a flash that delivers a truly high quality of
light, which is why it features a round head which delivers light that’s both
natural and beautiful with a pleasing soft-smooth fall-off, that blends
seamlessly with the ambient light.
Thanks to a smart magnetic mount built into
the head, light shaping tools and modifiers can be clicked on and off quickly
and easily. Within seconds you’re being creative with light, shaping it.
It
also has a zoom function that allows you to make fine adjustments to the spread
of light by simply twisting the zoom ring on the head, and for accuracy it has
a modeling light built-in to the head – so you can see what you’re going to get
before you press the shutter.
So your standing in a new town, state, on vacation in another country and you want an aerial view, so you plop down your backpack, pull out your drone, turn it on, connect to it and take off.
