Nothing should come between you and creating an amazing image. That ideal drove us to create Profoto AirTTL. Think of it as your nerve center that sits on top of your camera. Helping you to find exactly the right exposure first time. Just point, shoot and achieve a perfectly exposed image fast. You don’t have to think – just act. That speed, control and ease-of-use, is technology working for you.

And Profoto High-Speed Sync (HSS) means you can use flash at shutter speeds of up to 1/8,000s. You can shape light even in bright sunlight. But most of all, Profoto Air is freedom. Freedom to sync and control all your flash settings, from your shooting position. Seamless connectivity up to a massive 300 meters (1000 ft.). So, this is a faster, easier workflow. This is extreme ease-of-use. And this is creativity coming first. This is Profoto Air.

AirTTL seamlessly connects your light with your camera
Get the shot fast

With Profoto AirTTL it’s easy to get the shot fast, because we’ve removed any technical barriers between you and the image that’s taking shape in your imagination. There’s no fiddling around with endless settings and menus in stressful situations. Instead your focus is one hundred percent where it should be, on your client and the image you want to create. You can shoot easier and faster – the very essence of a smart and effective workflow.

Free your hands and mind

Profoto AirTTL provides seamless connectivity between your lights and your camera. If you want to change a setting on any one of the lights you’re using, all you have to do is push a button on the small Air Remote that’s attached to the hot-shoe of your camera. That’s total control from your shooting position, leaving you free to experiment with light and create amazing images.

Capture the moment in perfect light with Profoto AirTTL

Finding the right exposure first time can be a challenge when time is limited or the light is constantly changing. AirTTL automatically finds it for you - so all you need to do is point and shoot. Alternatively, you can switch to manual mode, keep your previous TTL settings and fine tune the exposure until you achieve exactly the look and feel you want.

Shape light in broad daylight with Profoto HSS

With Profoto High-Speed Sync (HSS) it doesn’t matter how bright the sun shines. It enables you to use your flash at shutter speeds up to 1/8,000s. So you can overpower the sun and shape your light even with large apertures in broad daylight. Profoto HSS is faster, more powerful and more consistent than any other HSS solution on the market.

Shoot long distance and light bigger scenes

Feel free to take on some of the biggest shoots and locations, because Profoto AirTTL provides seamless connectivity across an unbeatable range of 300 meters (1000 ft.). Imagine lighting a football pitch, a church, or an awe-inspiring ice cave in Piztal, Austria for example. AirTTL allows you to create and shape light from the click of a button. But more than that, it allows you to think bigger.

Profoto Air is universal

Don’t worry if you shoot with other camera brands that Profoto doesn’t yet support with AirTTL. Choose the standard Air Remote instead. It’s compatible with any camera that has a hot shoe and it still provides the incredible sensation of shooting free, without any cords to cramp your creativity.

TTL and HSS. The expressions might seem technical, but we promise that using these features is actually a piece of cake.

Guide

What is TTL?

TTL is when the flash exposure is set automatically by the camera instantly communicating to the Air Remote how much light is needed. The Air Remote will in turn wirelessly communicate the correct exposure settings to all lights. Perfect for situations where you need to act quickly to get the shot. You can switch to manual and keep the exposure that TTL has set to make small adjustments. This allows you to be fully focused on the quality of the image – all you need to do is just point and shoot.

Guide

What is HSS?

HSS or High-Speed Sync, enables you to use flash at any shutter speed up to 1/8,000 of a second. That means you are in full control of the ambient light, which is useful when shooting outdoors in sunlight. With HSS you can shape light even with large apertures and at fast shutter speeds. HSS is great for outdoor portraits with shallow depth of field or freezing fast action in broad daylight. Profoto HSS is faster, more powerful and more consistent than any other HSS solution on the market.

Using the TTL function saved me a lot of time when trying to find the perfect light. I just adjusted my camera to the desired settings and then the Air Remote TTL-S calculated everything for the necessary lighting power on the subject.

Pauline Darley, photographer

I always use TTL for the first test images to set the exposure. When I’ve got the right light, I switch to Manual. That way I get a super-fast workflow and never need to try my way to find the right power output from the flash.

Oskar Bakke, photographer

HSS is great for when you want a rich, saturated background but shallow depth of field

Brian Smith, photographer

I particularly like that once you have a TTL exposure you like, you can simply switch the remote to Manual to lock in that flash output. With the Air Remote TTL-S, there’s no delay and you don’t lose the sync speed. The Profoto equipment was bullet-proof. No missed sync issues.
