Profoto Connect Reviews

Fantastic add if you have Profoto flashes

By Alex
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-24

I bought a couple of Profoto A1 several years ago and used them as either standalone in a hotshoe with one or two cameras or with one triggering another remote. Never thought I needed an actual dedicated remote but now that I bought it I can't believe what a difference it makes. The biggest win is the tiny device doesn't get in the way (unlike the flash) and makes it so much easier to control light.

Works flawlessly

This remote is designed for simplicity. No buttons or settings to fiddle with. Only one group to control automatically. The AirTTL is more capable and full featured.

If I only want to use this in Auto, do I still need an iphone 7 or greater? Can I update the connect w/o the iphone App?
Asked by: rhonda
If you don't want to change settings using the app, the transmitter will be set to channel one, group A. You can still change strobe settings on the strobe itself. You'll need the app to update the firmware.

Can it be used for two A1 lights or do I need the Air Remote for this?
Asked by: Valentina
The Connect only has one group. You can fire two lights but they will have the same settings. You will need an AirTTL if you want full control of two lights on separate settings.
