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?

But it only works as a flash with the profot camera app.

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.

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.
