- Go behind the scenes and watch natural-light shooter Audrey Woulard trying out the Profoto Connect, the button-free trigger, together with the Profoto A1 light. Being on the mission to create images all around Barcelona in one single day, she gets to put the button-free trigger through its paces during the day’s different lighting conditions. No buttons, no complexity, just a lot of creative freedom.
The perfect tool to get started with light shaping.

"It has to look natural" none of the images look natural
I just saved $300 for watching this video. 🙏
images looks not natural at all, and take out your phone to adjusts?? the last thing I want to see in a pro photoshoot is a phone.
Closed minded individuals
I succumbed to the hype, and bought this trigger. I am glad I did because I really like it! I can trigger my A1's and B1with it. Good job Profoto and great video.
all images have either a on camera look or non diffused harsh contrasty look. She could have used a soft box. then adding a smart phone to the mix to make changes...unacceptable.
After thinking a bit about it, the problem is not necessarily the trigger. Full auto? Ok, fine.
But people will still need to use the right modifiers. Natural light with a bare speed light? Are you kidding me? No chance.
I understand it's Profoto's intention to make flash photography less intimidating for beginners but the reality is: (1) Overpriced for beginners. (2) Relying on TTL will be the No1 discouraging factor for beginners as they have no control of flash output at all and exposure will be all over the place. (3) the over simplified feature will leave no room for growth once a photographer is more confident about flash photography. If Profoto really wants to attract natural light shooters to enter the flash/strobe market then you should offer free regular elementary classes for purchasers and owners. IMO this would be the right way to do it. So far the campaign photos are really killing the Profoto brand.
If there's a beginner who thinks a $300 trigger and a $1000+ light will make their images better, they're probably already hopeless.
no iPhone no manual control? is profoto the apple of photography? I'd hate that!
Great job Audrey!
Great job, Audrey and Profoto!
Even if profoto adds two sd card slot to this device, i still wouldn't buy one 🤣😀
That is because you are clueless !!!
@@christosphillips3568 No you are the CLUELESS one. Do you no that you have to spend $1300 just to use this device?
$300 for the toy
$1000 for an iphone
Not everyone uses an iphone for your information
Excellent video!
Wow love this
Came here after seeing the picture on the photographers facebook page. Great stuff!
You are such an inspiration! So excited for this new collaboration!
Anyone what's the light stand she's using? I need a lightweight travel one that collapses to 40cm. Any ideas?
The price of this trigger is outrageous! Even for Profoto!
How is that natural light???
My question exactly, or what is it with your photos looking "natural lit"
Great job Audrey.. The promo video was awesome.
I prefer having all buttons under my fingers rather than grabbing my phone, opening the app, and then doing the adjustment. The copy (her speech) smells cheap artificial advertising... with some specifically chosen words... What the heck does it to do with creativity because it doesn't have buttons?
Kinda disappointed. What photographer needs is able to control every single light been used with a remote. Not with a smartphone. Other wise, there just a ...... I don't know what it is.
Many of the comments below remind me of the "nothing but Sony is good trolls" This is a promo video to inform about a product. Nothing more. It is not meant as a critique of the photos or photographer anything else. The connect is a simple product with the ability to control more than one device if you need to. But is probably intended for going outside with one unit and as little gear as possible. It is simple in design, works as intended, is discreet, and yes, expensive for what it is. And yet, many of the comments below seem to be intended to bash Profoto and say Godox is cheaper, and just as good-- just like those Sony trolls. Trying to prove something but I'm not quite sure what. The product works as intended. It's up to the individual to determine if they want want it offers or not. If you're not going to buy it fine. Why
I had cheaper gear until a few weeks ago and really am enjoying the simplicity and reliability of Profoto. I find the light to be classier and much more sophisticated than what I had before and the ability to control the light easier. I am bothered by the cost of things like Profoto reflectors and triggers but there are other options from using bowens mount converters to simple things like cinefoil.
Profoto is a good company that has excellent customer service and great products that are very expensive. Y'all ever try to have something from Godox serviced?
So...this is catered to beginners since no self-respecting professional photog would use the "P" mode of flash but please throw an umbrella at least on the A1!
Can I hook up 3 flash slaves to it or just 1?
Hi Desolo Zantas,
You can trigger all 3 Profoto lights with the Profoto Connect as long as they are all set to the same channel.
Best regards,
Andreas
Really Profoto... A (P) mode for flash... I thought you were geared toward professionals and now you move toward amateurs that can't afford your products...
it's funny in the video where it shows the lady photographing her model on the beach and says she switches to manual to fine tune and yet the a1 is probably 2 ft higher then her reach. With this tool you can't make that adjustment from the console you have to lower the flash to make that change until you get it to where you want with the manual. The air remote game it you can push the stops up to 10 down to 2.. This is not on my Christmas list...
Can it be use with other Profoto lights or is it just for the A1s?
pchanhk Probably it’s just a cheaper alternative to the Air Remote. It’s so nice of Profoto to think that way.
It works with all Air compatible Profoto lights.
Great job Audrey!!! Such an inspiration.
Beautiful work from Audrey - more of her please!
Will this work with ALL Nikon cameras ???
Hi! You can check all compatible camera models under technical specification at the product page, profoto.com/products/air-remotes/remotes/profoto-connect-n-for-nikon.
Can i Control with a Connect for Sony a a1x Nikon? Or vice versa
Hi,
Yes, you can. What version of A1X only matters when mounted on camera.
Best,
Profoto
@@profoto thats a cool and smart little detail
@@profoto but force people to create an Account for Firmware Updates: Not smart
Happy day, wuat model of camara you used in this session, thank you...
Woulard Boys You’re lighting is too harsh....I would have used a small umbrella to reduce hot spots & hard shadows.
If there are no buttons or switches how do you controll it in Manual mode ?????? 🤯
Control from your flash.
I don't know. I actually follow the photographer featured here. She has posted some different pictures from this video on her social media and they all look fantastic. She also touched on who this product was designed for. After reading what she shared, I think I am sold.
The images are...terrible...
since I have an A1 and know there is no way in hell to fill flash at those distances....no way...........well maybe at ISO 6400!
I don't know,it feels so out of place
I LOVE Profoto - but this needs more physical controls... IMHO there's not enough diffusion in the examples used to make them look natural... It feels like they're targeting consumers/enthusiasts with this release, but even at $299 - a deal by Profoto standards - I don't feel like there's enough here and control via your phone gets in the way... My advice would be to improve the existing triggers - e.g. give them a display that shows the flash's current power setting - that would be VERY helpful...
I'm sorry, but as a professional, not having any manual controls on the unit makes zero sense, no matter how good you made auto mode! I feel like you guys took the requests people had for more information and control of direct power on the Air Remotes and reversed that request completely! It literally feels weird enough that it could be an accidentally released April Fools joke, but I really don't think it is sadly.
With all due respect you are looking at this the wrong way. This is a product for casual shooters who can't afford the AirTTL remotes, and who don't want to think about complicated flash stuff. They just want some more light on the subject without the hassle. I'm sure they are working on the AirTTL upgrade as well, which will have more info and direct control.
I take it back, for $300 this is useless, it's worth $100 max.
I had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't the first of April.
volkom91 Casual shooters at a 300 price tag? That can’t be right. What kind of hassle are you referring to at an air remote price difference?
@@moeranyc That's actually about $1,500 when you factor in the A1 and sales tax.
results looks like pop up flashed. trigger looks big for a minimalist design, but then again its profoto people will go crazy with this one lol
Looks natural...nope. way to expensive for a beginner. Lack of control means beginners have no room for growth. And using a phone in a photoshoot...lol. not a chance.
For $30 more you can get a Profoto Air remote, and for $130 more you can get a Profoto Air TTL remote. Both of those would be a much better purchase than this thing.
Maybe that's their goal...Profoto: Air TTL remote sale will definitely go up after this. lol
profot needs to make a newtriger with real power levels and af assist beam
Go Audrey! Great job Profoto!
> gets rid of all controls from the trigger
> uses a smartphone to adjust the power settings
Profoto ............listen to your customers!
This is a sad video and product where Profoto tries to "connect" with lazy gen Z that thinks everyone is a photographer without an ounce of skill and refuses to learn how good photography is made... Just sad.
The system is easy enough already
The new Godox light looks like this and cheaper.
I dont see why using an app would be a problem, you dont think it looks pro enough ? That's BS, the results are what will matter to your clients, not how you get it done.
The whole Profoto marketing team need to hang their heads in shame with this one.. Stick to providing Pro Products
I am a Profoto and Nikon user. Well honestly I am a bit ashamed to see something like this created as a promotional material. I feel after watching this like I just set with an insurance policy guy who tried to sell me anything before I die. Profoto has to really step up their game and the best way to see it is Godox! Godox is copying your ideas and brings very fast out products which actually make sense! I just photographed an international fashion show and had a chance to talk to a line up of photographers BTS. Profoto and Godox were in lots of discussions I have to say and it was not in favour of Profoto I have to admit and I do not blame them! Audrey is probably good in her niche what she photographs, but this certainly did not feel like a young, fun teen age based lifestyle shoot.
This is 5 min promo teaser. Too boring for 5 min to watch. Too weak with final results to be wow after watching it. If this unit is aimed at amateurs photographers I honestly think you just did not make them believe in it! To define an amateur photographer these days, it is pretty much everyone around who has a camera - and to be honest starting with a phone in their hands for taking pictures. Good, bad, or sometimes amazing. Profoto is a relatively expensive brand to start with photography business when it comes to lighting and to make young students to jump the ship before they start to make sufficient amount of money is what your teams should be looking at. Give them a toy to play which makes that, easy yet affordable, not all the whistles on it which are used in your high end devices but still capable of knocking down any competition around. And you build your audience and user crowds way faster IMO :) Yes, someone just mentioned it bellow Profoto feels like Apple these days, I still use both of them but be careful since I no longer use Adobe, and Adobe used to be on top of their games until shareholders did turn it the other way around :) Happy shooting to everyone guys.
Not natural at all :)
$30 yes. $300 no fucking way !
im impressed ... great work Profoto
After almost a month, I’m still trying to figure out, Why and for who this product is made for??? This is beyond stupid Profoto!!!
This is clearly a joke.
Profoto has lost their minds....
@@USFreedom 🤣 they lost it long time ago, profoto users just didn't want to accept it...funny thing is must of them are still gonna say "they can't wait to add this to their profoto collections" 😂🤣
I’ve got a lot invested in profoto and there’s no way I would ever buy this pathetic product.
Yes! It is.
@@iankreidich8698 Yes, I agree. Profoto is really going down hill with this nonsense.
Nice; but, out of my price range.
Now I don’t know what “natural” is any more!?
I have to learn photography again!
Ore not! I just put everything on auto, and start shutting! Problem solved!
Sacks
Lots of hate in the comments, I don't mind this system, I won't use it myself.
It seems best suited to newer photographers with money, you probably have a Sekonic L-478 also. If this helps them and makes ProFoto some change, that's fine by me.
-as long as ProFoto remembers to email _me_ when they do promos for the Pro-11 or B1XII (-or B1Z, who knows).
It's not hate, it's called Common Sense 😤😤
it dose not explained anything sadly pity
If it’s not for you cool, but there is no need to disrespect the shooter. Look her up ......it’s that simple. Let’s chill with all the negativity!
People aren't dising the shooter, they're dising Pro Photo !!!!!!!!
Actually they were, someone specifically said she wasn’t even a real photographer.
Is this a joke????
I'm sorry, the least you could have done was to get someone who can hold a camera!
racist
@Woulard Boys I think he might of meant how the lens was being held but who cares!
Knowing how to hold a camera has nothing to do with racism or being left eye dominant... One can’t learn, when one knows.
The camera weight should rest on left palm of your hand, left elbow into body for support and stability...but who cares.
is this just the worst promo video that was ever produced? Better check the quality of the photographer and images twice next time before you share this to professionals.
