Profoto A1 Air TTL-C Flash (Canon)

The Profoto A1 is designed with light shaping capabilities; it has a unique round head with a soft, smooth fall-off that makes it easy to create a natural and beautiful light. It also includes a smart magnetic mount and three dedicated A1 Light Shaping Tools that click on and off quickly and easily - a Dome Diffuser, Wide Lens and Bounce Card. They can be stacked for more creative options. The A1 also offers a built-in LED modelling light that makes it easy to set the light and understand how light and shadows work together.

• It's extremely easy to use. The user interface is large, clean and clear. Like all Profoto products, it's intuitive to use and you don't need to read a long instruction manual to understand how it works. AirTTL remote is also built in to the A1. With AirTTL and HSS you create professional results fast and easy and with the remote you can seamless connect to other Profoto flashes and control them easily from the A1.
• Profoto A1 is not only an on-camera flash, it's also very effective off-camera as a standalone unit. The A1 has its own Li-Ion high capacity battery built-in that lasts up to four times longer than AA batteries with no performance fade, and a facility to recharge quickly. So you can shoot for longer with confidence. A1 can keep up with you because it recycles four times faster than other on-camera solutions - that's 1.2s at full power. Put simply, you'll never miss a shot.

Dome Diffuser:

• The Dome Diffuser gives a softer, less directional light and is often used to spread the light wider in all directions. You can use it to bounce flash off a surface such as a white wall or most commonly, the ceiling. Makes a softer and gentler light that falls off on the person you're shooting. Used direct, the light is soft and pleasingly crisp, and makes for great people photography.
• The Diffuser clicks on and off the A1 quickly and easily thanks to the smart magnetic mount. It's stackable so you can use it in combination with other light shaping tools.

Bounce Card:

• The Bounce Card for the A1 On-camera Flash allows you to bounce the flash and also direct some light on to the subject as fill. That will create a soft light with a more directional feeling.
• The Bounce Card comes in a soft microfiber pouch and easily clicks on and off thanks to the smart magnetic mount. It's stackable so it can be used in combination with other A1 Light Shaping Tools

Wide Lens:

• The Wide Lens allows the spread of light from the head of the A1 to be wider, which is perfect when using wide-angle lenses. But what's really unique is that with this Wide Lens you can still use the zoom function to adjust the spread of light. This helps the user to create a pleasing wide light that's ideal for group portraits.
• It easily clicks and off thanks to a smart magnetic mount. It's stackable, so it can be used in combination with other A1 Light Shaping Tools.

A1 Bag:

• Tough and durable, this soft padded A1 Bag is perfect for storing or transporting the A1 on-camera flash. The soft fabric interior protects and the high-quality zippers are durable. It incorporates a sleeve for the table stand on the back, compartments inside to store the Dome Diffuser and Wide Lens and features two loops to connect with the included shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry. With this bag, your A1 will never be safer.
