Fast Review: Profoto Air Remote TTL-F

As promised here is my review of the Profoto Air Remote TTL-F

Ease of use

The Profoto Air Remote TTL-F is the way to go is you want to have professional studio light and full TTL functionality and HSS. Slip it on your FujiFilm camera and it works.

But for you use it don't forget to update the firmware of your camera and strobes. If you don't do this you can het some bugs with the HSS function and TTL. 

But with the Profoto Air Remote TTL-F you can control the lights in manual or full TTL mode. With one light you need to use your camera's flash compensation, with multiple the groups on the remote. 

 

Compatible Camera's and Strobes

At this moment the Profoto Air Remote TTL-F works with the FujiFilm X-T2, X-Pro2, X100f and GFX-50s camera. More will be possible after firmware updates

From the profoto site you have full TTL and HSS functionality with the Profoto, A1 (when used off-camera), B1, B1X, B2, D2 and Pro10. 

The Con's

Off-course there are also some downsides. One is the battery life, this is approx. 30 hours on 2 AAA-batterys. The Profoto Air Remote can do much longer on a pair of AAA battery's, but also has a lot less of calculation to do.... 

The other con is that in comparison the de Profoto Air Remote you only have acces to groups A, B and C and not D, E and F. Which won't be a problem if you are like me and hardly ever use more then two or three lights.

Steampunk fotoshoot in de Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen

Twee weken geleden heb ik een onwijs gave portret fotoshoot gedaan met steampunkers Spike McDark en Minerva McDark. Het was een mooie kans om de Profoto Air remote TTL te testen voor FujiFilm en de FujiFilm GFX met de 45mm in vergelijking tot de FujiFilm X100f. 

Hier onder eerste even de Behind the scenes van de fotoshoot. 

De Profoto B2 met OCF 2" octa softbox was voor het licht ruim voldoende om mee te werken. Met name het TTL en High Speed Sync werkt erg fijn. Vooral om met grotere diafragma opening te kunnen werken met de FujiFilm GFX camera. Met de X100f is voor het TTL gedeelte erg handig, het HSS gedeelte kan je vervangen door de centraal sluiter.

Hier onder even enkele van de resultaten en ik ga niet verklappen wat met welke camera gemaakt is!
