Review Summary
· The Mamiya V-Grip Air is not only the first vertical grip with a built-in wireless flash trigger; it is also the first and only wireless flash sync solution for a medium format camera system that is capable of delivering sync speeds as fast as 1/1600s.
· The new V-Grip also offers owners of Mamiya 645DF cameras more shootingstyles, and delivers longer camera battery life through power integration and easy future firmware upgrades. Built-in flash technology from Profoto lets photographers trigger a flash simplyand wirelessly from the V-grip Air.
· The Profoto Air wireless flash triggering system is an out-of-the-box solution that works with all current and most modern Profoto flash systems, when equipped with a Profoto Air receiver. It is also possible to leverage the wireless flash triggering with other flash brands by using an optional Air receiver unit from Profoto.
· The V-Grip Air unit features all the same camera controls and functionality as on the 645DF camera. An integrated L-bracket is included for portrait-mode mounting on a stand. The unit runs on the same type of battery used in Mamiya DM and Leaf Aptus digital backs, with a backup option to use standard AA type batteries.
