Overview
Profoto A2
Great light that's always with you
Small, lightweight, and portable
About the size of a regular soda can, making it Profoto's smallest ever monolight
The compact size means this is a light that you really can bring anywhere and everywhere. Throw it in your bag or a jacket pocket, and you're ready to make the most of whatever location you might find yourself in; it's ideal when space is at a premium and time is short.
Key Features:
- Super compact size and low weight
- Powerful 100Ws flash and fast flash recycling
- Built-in reflector and lens that creates a natural light spread with smooth fall-off
- Fully compatible with all magnetic Profoto Clic Light Shaping Tools
- Integrated AirX connectivity for full compatibility with all Profoto remotes and apps
- Fully compatible with batteries and battery chargers for Profoto A-series flashes
- Built-in LED focus/modelling light
- Removable stand adapter with integrated umbrella holder
- Clean and easy user interface with large hi-resolution display
Like all Profoto lights, the A2 is easy and intuitive to use; you'll go from box to first flash in record time. Yes, it comes with an instruction manual, and no, you probably won't have to bother reading it.
With AirX connectivity built-in, you can use the A2 as a part of a more extensive Profoto lighting system, and you can shoot with any camera, including a smartphone. In addition, enjoy the freedom of choosing where you adjust all settings. Either via the user-friendly large display on the flash or the Profoto Control app - it's up to you.
The creative possibilities become almost endless when you combine the A2 with the Profoto Clic System - a series of light shaping tools bespoke to A-series flashes. Factor in the Clic OCF Adapter II, and then suddenly Profoto's entire range of OCF light shaping tools are available to use as well.
More than anything else, this is a creative tool. It exists to help the ambitious photographer capture striking and beautiful images anywhere, anytime. Making the Profoto A2 a must-have light for image creators who want to push the limits of what's possible on location.
