Best For Leica SL2 & SL2s

Works Perfectly, and is the best solution for the Leica SL2 & SL2s with a Profoto set up.

Nikon version for X1D, Canon version for 5DSR

Needed to buy this for my X1D, got a second for 5DSR and the Sync model for any non Air Remote packs - all work perfectly together.

Easy to use

This is so easy to use. I have used other vendors' products but by far this is so easy and intuitive it blows the rest of them away.

Best in the game

A great product! Profoto can do no wrong and this trigger is no different. It is very easy to use, always works and I'll never use a different trigger.

It?s okay

Pretty good does the job. wish it was easier to turn off the automatic shut off mode. And the battery dies way too easily. Lastly, way too expensive.

Good reliable remote

This remote works very well and is dependable. I only wish it was included with the lights and not and extra purchase since the lights don't work without it.

So good buying another

These things are the best. I dropped my last one but after 3 years of it working flawlessly I can?t complain. Just don?t drop things on tile like an idiot. They?re super useful. Controls all lights and groups. Literally never fails. They?re fantastic.

Works Great & Easy to Use

This product works great and is easy to use. For what it is, it?s expensive, but I understand the importance of having it? which is why they can probably get away with the cost haha! I will say that the door to the battery compartment feels semi fragile and I?m hoping it doesn?t get broken. Fortunately the product is warrantied for 2 years so I will get over it (as long as it doesn?t break on 2 years & 1 day that is).

Reliable at advertised distance

After a few years of use, the Profoto Air Remote TTL has proven to be reliable at the advertised distances. I only wish it could have more than 3 groups available. The non-TTL version has A-F.

Game changer!

This product was so easy to use right out of the box. Saves me the trouble from getting tangled with the sync cord. It doesn't add much weight to my camera. I really appreciate that it comes with batteries.

Works like magic

Looked just as described... worked as described. I’m used to using pocket wizards but this is like magic... no more running between lights and camera. I can change the light from the air remote!

Solid device but at a Mercedes price

This is a highly competent and functional product. I watched several videos on the Profoto systems before I purchased this remote and, like the pros said, this remote never misses a shot for me. It also blows away the Pocket Wizards on reliability. The remote is reasonably well designed and has a solid function display. It is intuitive (with minimal instruction and orientation) and seems fairly well adapted to it's purpose. It does not, however, display any actual active information from the heads it is controlling, like the actual flash power setting numbers, etc. It will show what the remote is telling the head to do (like +1, or +2.2 stops from where you already had it). The physical build quality seems solid, but not particularly advanced or rugged. The build styling is somewhat archaic and cheap-looking. Overall it appears to be a solid device with a good reputation in the photo community, but it's a "Mercedes expense" on a "Honda value" product. Hence only a 3.

Just what I needed!

The Transceiver is a solid and reliable performer. I use I primarily with my Hasselblad H6D-50C. It syncs at shutter speeds up to 1/1600s with Full power on my B1's and A1. I can make the fine adjustments to flash power on the various head right at the camera. I meter my initial set up, but when fine adjustments are needed in flash power, it does it fast and reliably.

Adorama and Profoto service best in the Biz!

Profoto has the best customer service . Recently while on a shoot a Air remote stopped working . I called profoto they had me send the unit in (Fed Ex overnite) on them, it was determined the pins were not functioning. They overnighted a new unit the Next day. In the mean time I bought another from Adorama as a back up. Adorama and Profoto stepped up to the plate with their best in the biz service. Thanks again !!!

Wish it wasn’t so expensive

Works well. Expensive but ultimately worth it to avoid tying yourself up with sync cords. If you can’t afford it, you can also sync your flash up to the profoto battery to fire the lights! lil trick I learned waiting for this to be delivered... haha

About Profoto Air Remote

FEATURED REVIEWS

Profoto= quality, reliability, overall unbeatable performance.

By CHARLES H.

highly recommend the profoto line of all of the lighting & shaping tools. consistently using the b1x's & a1's & air remote as I do mostly location work. I put my gear through strenuous situations at times & its never let me down! NOBLE HATCH

Sweet Trigger

By LLOYD T.

I love it, works like a charm with my A1 and B2

Attach this small unit to your Nikon camera's hot shoe to wirelessly integrate your Profoto Off-Camera Flash with your camera. In TTL Mode, you just point and shoot and the Air Remote TTL-N will communicate with the flash to automatically give you a perfect exposure. It is as easy as it sounds.

For more precise control, there is Hybrid Mode. This allows you to first shoot with TTL to get a technically perfect exposure and then switch to Manual Mode with the same readings and settings and do whatever creative adjustments you feel like doing. It is a huge time saver. Plus you can leave that light meter at home! Comes with patent-pending Profoto High-speed Sync technology - faster, more powerful and more consistent than any other HSS solution on the market.

Compatible Nikon Cameras: Z7, Z6, D5, D4S, D3S, D3X, D850, D810, D800, Df, D750, D700, D500, D300, D610, D600, D7100, D7000, D5600, D5300, D5200, D3300, D3200
