What is fast mode?
The Fast Mode for this remote basically speeds up the signal as it is delivered to the Profoto flash head or pack. It is ideal for use with shooting in with faster shutter speed in your camera.

Do I need to buy 2 of these? One to recieve on the flash and one to trigger from the camera?
Two of the Air Remote Transceivers if you are using a flash that is not part of the Profoto Air system. In that case, one unit would be the transmitter on the camera while the other would be the receiver on the flash.

question
I know it will be manual only from my Panasonic, but does this control the B2 250 kit?
Yes, you may use the Profoto Air Remote Transceiver to wirelessly trigger and control the Profoto B2 250 Air Kit. With the standard Air Remote, you will have flash sync and remote control of the B2 250 Kit. You would not have TTL or HSS capabilities.

Will this work on Profoto B1x to put in sleep mode and wake the light up on channels D, E & F? The remote that comes with the lights only allows this type of operation on groups A B & C. We rig our lights up in air and can't activate sleep mode and wake up in the non TTL groups D E F or G. Looking for solution
No, the following unit will only drive Pro-8a Air Packs and D1 Air Heads.
