Questions & Answers

MP S : Does this light have an optical trigger or optical slave feature or do you HAVE to use the Profoto trigger?PAUL A : Per the specification page on the Profoto site, there is no photocell or IR trigger so, yes, you need to use a Profoto A series strobe, or one of the Profoto Air, Connect or Connect Pro triggers to fire this strobe.

Good Investment?very satisfied

Everything I?ve read regarding this Flash Head is true! It matches magnetically with the Clic Gels and Grid for my A10 (which I absolutely love) and my my Clic Softbox Octa. This system is amazing and easy to work with and this versatile light has power, yet is convenient and light enough to be hand held in situations when you are unable to use a stand... and with this Clic system you can easily use it with the Octa Softbox. I love ProFoto products they are worth the money.
