Profoto introduces the Air System

29/09/10

Reliable and fl exible radio camera release and fl ash synchronization for worldwide use.

Profoto, the world’s leading manufacturer of professional photography lighting and light shaping tools is proud to introduce a serious expansion of the Air radio system.

The Profoto Air system was introduced in autumn 2008 together with the state-of-the-art Pro-8a fl ash generators. Today this system offers
radio remote and/or fl ash synchronization with a wide range of Profoto products, including D1 monolights, Pro-B3 battery fl ash generators
and even continuous light sources like the new ProDaylight’s. Other manufacturers like Hensel (fl ashes) and Phase One (cameras) have
implemented the wireless functionality of the Profoto Air system in to their latest products.

With externally connected Air Sync or Air Remote transceivers it is possible to synchronize almost any fl ash equipment without integrated
Air functionality. Sync cables are available for most speedlights, monolights and fl ash generators on the market. The ultra-short delay of the
Air units allows the shortest sync times of actual cameras available (down to 1/1600s depending on camera).

Profoto Air Remote and Air Sync transceivers are both small and lightweight, not only being “just” versatile fl ash sync devices; they are
perfect radio release units for over 130 different models of DSLR cameras as well! Especially sports, wildlife and press photographers need a safe, wireless camera release system for many applications. Profoto Air transceivers have a wide working range up to 300m and an extremely short delay time. The Air system works on 2.4GHz frequency for international use - perfect for traveling photographers. Two standard AAA batteries guarantee long operation times, on top it is possible to deactivate the battery save function for a longer stand-by.

Profoto has just improved the fi rmware and the hardware of the Air Sync and Air Remote transceivers for optimized camera release
functionality. Together with this improvement Profoto offers new camera release cables for most actual DSLR cameras. Some of the cables
offer a pre-release function to shorten the delay time even further, especially for cameras used in AF mode.

Customers needing a standard cable release can connect the Air cables to a new optional, ergonomic remote switch that offers a bulb
function.

The Profoto Air system is the ideal radio camera release and fl ash sync system, which works with a wide range of actual cameras and
fl ashes. It is reliable and easy to use – like all Profoto products.

Photo Quote: The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying. - Terence Donovan
