Profoto Connect Reviews

OK transmitter, but limmited

By Mike
Rated 4 out of 5

This transmitter works just as described - and of course is built with the same degree of ruggedness as all Profoto products. However, it is limited when compared to something like the Air Remote TTL trigger from Profoto. If you are looking for a trigger that works right out of the box, requires no particular setup, then this one will work great for you. If you shoot with a variety of setups (e.g., groups and channels), then the Air Remote TTL might be a better choice.

Best remote for light head close to trigger!!

I bought this remote to use with my Profoto B10s. I have had constant issues with my B10s not firing when the light head is close (0-30) to the camera/Air Remote(s). I mostly handhold my light and it's too often in the dead zone and will not fire with either of my two Profoto Air Remote triggers. I'm thrilled to report this new Profoto Connect works 100% of the time no matter how close the B10 head is to the trigger. No frills for sure, but works perfectly for my needs.

Does the trick but sometimes doesn't communicate to the flash

I use this with a flash bracket and it works! The other trigger doesn't fire with a flash bracket unless you use an extender and bounce everything. This baby works and its easy to fire and go to manual mode. Good thing I have an Iphone or I couldn't adjust the lights from the trigger unless I do it it manually. I do like the ease of no buttons.

Brilliant! A must have.

Exceptionally compact (1.75 dia, 5/8 thick), very light hot shoe mount transmitter, makes off-camera flash amazingly easy. Very easy to use, with only three settings - Auto, Manual of Off. Easy control via iPhone app. I have been using off-camera flash photography since 1980, and it has never been easier. This is a brilliantly conceived and engineered solution, a must have. The bundled offering with an A1x flash is a great value - get one as long as the bundled offer lasts! Highly recommended.

Works astonishingly well straight out of the box. I never need to open the app on my phone for adjustments. I just adjust everything by hand after swapping to manual. The ttl is amazing. I actually use it much more often than I thought I would.

Quick and easy

I received this as a bundle with my Profoto A1s Duo Kit. I like this as a complimentary trigger to the AirTTL remote. I plan on using it with my second camera when I shoot weddings. The Connect is super responsive with the B10, A1, and app. Making adjustments is not that difficult. A strength of this trigger happens to be the locking mechanism on the hot shoe. Once you insert it on the hot shoe it has a pin which keeps it secure.

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.
