The Profoto A2 is a compact monolight, about the size of a soda can, yet capable of firing 400 flashes at full 100W power on a single charge. It offers fast recycling times and a trigger range of up to 100 meters, so you have no limits on creating the perfect shot. Featuring a round head, it delivers soft and gentle light, while the magnetic mount with quick release allows you to use various light shaping tools to unleash your creativity.
The Profoto Connect, on the other hand, is a trigger that elegantly and simply represents the perfect counterpart to the A2. It doesn't have a lot of confusing buttons, but rather three simple settings: auto, manual, and off. In auto mode, you simply point and shoot; the required flash power is automatically calculated for ideal exposure. If you want to adjust the brightness, simply switch to manual mode and use the Profoto app to easily adjust settings.
The Profoto A2 Kit, consisting of the Profoto Connect and the A2, is a powerful yet easy-to-use combination. When used with the Profoto app, it gives you ultimate control and the ability to realize your ideas. Anytime, anywhere.
