Profoto Android BETA camera app with SmartTTL
The Profoto Camera app* allows professional photographers to use the full power of their Profoto flashes with point-and-shoot through smart exposure algorithms.
Ever since Profoto released their first version of the Profoto Camera app for iOS, the question on everyone’s lips was; when will it be available for Android devices? Now, with the introduction of the BETA Profoto Camera app for Android, which has additional AirX Smart-TTL functionalities, that question is answered.
As with the iOS Profoto Camera app, the Profoto AirX technology enables you to create professional images with full flash tube sync. With the new AirX Smart-TTL, you can simply point-and-shoot with the automatic exposure algorithm.
The Profoto Camera Android BETA app is available from December 1, 2020 on Google Playstore and is compatible with Profoto A10, B10, B10 Plus, C1 and C1 Plus flashes. Compatible smartphones* include: Samsung Galaxy; S8 line, S9 line, S10 line, S20 line, Note 9 line, Note 10 line, Note 20 line.
*Requires Android OS 8 or newer
Profoto A1X is not only an on-camera flash
Profoto A1X is not only an on-camera flash, it’s also very effective off-camera as a standalone unit. The A1X has its own Li-Ion high capacity exchangeable battery that lasts up to four times longer than AA batteries with no performance fade, and a facility to recharge quickly – so you can shoot for longer with confidence. And the A1X can keep up with you because it recycles four times faster than other on-camera solutions – that’s 1.0s at full power. Put simply, you’ll never miss a shot.
Light that’s both natural and beautiful
Because Profoto designed the A1X with a round head rather than the typical rectangular shape used by other on-camera solutions, the light it delivers is both natural and beautiful. That spread of light can also be easily adjusted from a wide setting, where the light has a soft smooth fall off to something narrower and more focused – with just a simple twist of the zoom ring on the head.
More than light
Being able to work with light is the key to creating better, more creative images. That’s why the A1X has a dedicated set of light-shaping modifiers that, thanks to a built-in smart magnetic mount, can be easily clicked on and off or stacked to help you achieve exactly the effect you want. These include a Dome Diffuser, Bounce Card, Wide Lens, Gel Kit and a Soft Bounce.
AirTTL means built-in convenience and versatility
With AirTTL you have a huge amount of built-in flexibility. TTL allows you to lock in the perfect exposure instantly, giving you far greater degree of control and a significantly faster workflow. It’s pretty much point-and-shoot; it’s easy, fast and precise. And the ‘Air’ feature means you can communicate with another A1X or other Profoto light seamlessly, and High-Speed Sync is right there when you need it.
- HSS or High-Speed Sync, enables you to use flash at any shutter speed up to 1/8,000 of a second. That means you are in full control of the ambient light, which is useful when shooting outdoors in sunlight. With HSS you can shape light even with large apertures and at fast shutter speeds. HSS is great for outdoor portraits with shallow depth of field or freezing fast action in broad daylight. Profoto HSS is a fast, powerful and more consistent HSS solution.
Visualize your image with the modeling light
The A1X’s built-in modeling light gives you an instant understanding of how light and shadow work together before you press the shutter, as well as providing an additional light source in low light situations.
No more worrying about battery life
The A1X has its own exchangeable Li-Ion high capacity battery pack that lasts up to four times longer than AA batteries with no performance fade, and a facility to recharge quickly. So you can shoot for longer with confidence.
Never miss a shot
The A1X can keep up because it recycles four times faster than most on-camera solutions – that’s every 1.0 seconds at full power. Put simply, you’ll never miss a shot.
Less time learning means more time shooting
We designed the A1X to be uncomplicated, so there’s no learning curve whatsoever. And because the interface is simple, clean and clear there’s no ‘death by menu.’ That means, you can spend more time engaged with your clients and creating a great image.
Grow with the A1X
The A1X is a tool that can take your photography as far as you want to go. Adding a second A1X will open up even more possibilities. In addition to embracing and more powerful lights like the B1X and the B10 and the 120+ light-shaping tools available, it will open the door to a world of creative opportunities.
The only difference between the A1X, its predecessor A1 and every other studio light from Profoto’s range is it’s size – it’s small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, making the A1X and A1 part of their on-camera solutions.
The A1X delivers a quality of light that’s both natural and beautiful, because like the larger Profoto lights in the family, the A1X features a round head that gives a soft smooth fall off – that’s what makes the light feel so wonderfully natural.
