The Profoto Air Remote is a proprietary radio slave transceiver designed to work with the Pro 8a 1200 and 2400 Ws power packs as well as the D1 Air series of monoheads. This transceiver can control an unlimited number of power packs and heads on eight channels. It can mount to your camera's hot shoe, or sync to your flash terminal for firing.
Operating from two AAA batteries, at a frequency of 2.4GHz, the Air Sync has a range of 1000' (300 m). It can sync up to 1/250 second with a focal plane shutter camera, and 1/500 second with a leaf shutter camera. Its triggering speed is over 100 fps.
The Air Remote can also be used in pairs or in conjunction with the Profoto Air Sync (one on camera and one on flash) to trigger flash units without built-in Air technology.

Comments about Profoto Air Remote Transceiver for the Pro 8a Air Power Pack:
works great with air lights, but construction feels so cheap... i also dropped mine and it stopped working... needs to have a rubberized case.
get the cheaper one as less costly when you drop it
not as reliable as pocket wizards, does not fire every time... but working with USB air remote and using laptop is a dream.

Comments about Profoto Air Remote Transceiver for the Pro 8a Air Power Pack:
Used for professional advertising photography. This product has great range and saves a lot of time when adjusting the power settings of multiple lights especially when the lights are in different rooms. For the price, I would like to see them built sturdier and with a locking mechanism for the hot shoe mount. I had one slip off the camera's shoe mount and fall onto concrete from 4 feet in the air causing all the lights on the remote to stop working.

Comments about Profoto Air Remote Transceiver for the Pro 8a Air Power Pack:
it's so much less time consuming!
Very easy to use, you can manage each light or even by group if you want (Ex: raise the stop for all your background's light at the same time, ...).
You have to own one if you have some D1's!
