C1 profoto

Nice bright edition still trying to figure can it fire via iPhone or does the button have to be pushed the same time you take the picture?

It's a light

It's a fine light, however with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I needed a light that somehow can be fixed to a bracket. This is purely handheld, round, no attachments possible. Apart from that it's very, very, very overpriced for even a fine light.

Almost perfect (no portrait mode.)

I love the light itself. It does what it is supposed to. I Do not however have portrait mode in the app. That was one of the main reasons that I purchased the light. I alwYs wished Profoto offered interchangeable colored domes for the standard C1 mobile light.
