Triggers with many buttons can often leave photographers confused as to where to start. Most photographers prefer to use off-camera flash units since it’s easier to replicate natural-looking light if it’s not coming directly from the camera. This is where the Profoto Connect – The Button-Free Trigger – comes into play. The Profoto Connect is specially created for ambitious photographers who understand good lighting, but prefer to use ambient light instead of an on-camera flash. So, no need to wait for the perfect golden hour that lasts for only a short moment to capture that perfect natural-light photograph. With the Profoto Connect, you can have the power to unlock light without being dependent on the sun.

Three Different Settings

Featuring three different settings - Auto, Manual, and Off - the Profoto Connect helps you create natural-looking light anytime, anywhere. By just switching it to Auto mode, you’re ready to point and shoot for a great exposure in every shot. This offers a lot of freedom to focus on the image and helps avoid the complexity of using any buttons. When you remove all the technicalities, you can put the energy on getting the shot that you want. If you want to expand your creative possibilities even more, slide it to Manual and fine-tune the light settings either directly on the light or using the Profoto app. This makes the Profoto Connect the perfect trigger to not only start with, but also to grow with.

Light-Shaping

A trigger needs a light, but created lights can pose their own problems. The Profoto Connect ensures that your light-shaping experience is positive, encouraging, and most importantly, easy to understand. When used with a Profoto A1 (sold separately), this button free trigger unlocks light easier than ever before, so that you can create beautiful natural-looking light anytime, anywhere.

Smart Remote Control

You can remotely control your Profoto Connect within the Profoto App. That way, you can indirectly control all Profoto Connect compatible lights in the same channel. The Profoto Connect also works independently of the Profoto app. The app gives you an ingenious remote control that lets you view and control the device from your smartphone. You can just touch, swipe, and tweak the settings to adjust the brightness in such a way that it blends perfectly with the ambient light. When the unit is set to Auto, you can simply swipe to add an offset to the default flash power to make all images a little brighter or a little darker. While using the Manual mode, you can swipe to adjust the flash power.

Easy Upgrade

With the app, you have the latest upgrades available at your fingertips. The built-in Bluetooth will run the process for you in an instant, so that you are ready to shoot with the latest, improved firmware.
