I love this flash but for the price point it’s insane the flash tube needed replacing after under three years. My canon flashes lasted over a decade.

Die Ausleuchtung und Helligkeit ist dank einfachem Zubehör für einen Systemblitz sehrgut. Dank Funksteuerung können Systemblitze unterschiedlicher Herstellervarianten gemeinsam verwendet werden.

I’m used to stronger flashes like B1 and B10. When I rented the A1 I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked even if the lighting conditions were challenging. Later I decided to buy one and now I bought another one. It’s a little to uncover on this little flash as it can do so much. It incorporates very well with the other Profoto dashes and it just works- and that’s the reason I use them.

I purschased 2 of them, and both are close to be dead, or would need to be repaired. Despite this very annoying fact, I love them, and I just bought an A2

Wonderful experience. The light offered by this flash is simply perfect. Easy to use and perfect results in any situation.

The attachments in the first version would never stay on, and they still don’t, but have improved. Magnets were not strong enough. We have to tape them and velcro them to stick and stay connected to the device while working. They just pop off... Two of our flashes have broken mounts which we have in service with you now. The mounts just snapped randomly. Love the rechargable battery - that is the best part!

Without a doubt, the best handheld flash I've ever had. Quality, battery life and recharge is unmatched.

de bouw en software is doordacht en functioneel. Werkt nauwkeurig en krachtig. Is compatibel met de andere Profoto flitsers en kan deze aansturen wat een extra meerwaarde is.

An excellent light with a top quality build. I’m a 30 year professional who has been using Profoto for 20 of those years and can tell you a big reason I buy Profoto is that Profoto holds up. Yes, you can find a manufacturer whose price is less then half the cost of Profoto which makes sense if you are not using the light every day in a variety of high pressure situations.

After walking around with pockets full of batteries, and using an external ( lumiquest), this system is the best move i’ve made! No cables, less weight, super fast recycle, and rechargeable ! Whew! Now to look at my studio strobes!

I enjoy my A1X, but there are other similar flashes out there that can get the same results for significantly less money.

Expensive, but everything about it makes up for it’s cost. Fits into the Profoto ecosystem well, powerful, tactile, ease of use. Especially good to shoot in cramped spaces on camera or off.

I’ve had the opportunity to shoot a wedding and a street portrait with the A1X, initial results confirm my decision to move on from my set of existing speedlights. Now to save up for a few more!!!

I have been using these A1’s for almost three years and love them. Each unit is a controller for the use of multi-able flash units. Either in TTL or manual power settings, you always get the balanced lighting you desire. I use these in conjunction with a B1 quite often.

Works seamlessly with air remote, and with A10 flash. Haven't had unit a long time. Works as advertised. If it lasts as long as advertised, then its well worth the costs. I think it will.

Given the very high price point compared to competitors, the A1X is reliable in some regards though also flawed as as tool for actual work scenarios. I believe it is over priced, as are all accessories. The accessories are also not well thought out for use as a flash for event photography. The bounce card it comes with embarrassingly detaches from the flash at the slightest bump which makes it impossible to use on a dual camera on a harness set up and would benefit from a Mag-mod dome that covers the entire head to distribute the light - the one that it comes with is too small to be actually effective at spreading the light for group photos at a distance of a 1-3 metres. I would also like a one touch, fast way to turn the flash head on/off to allow for scenarios where at events photographing with natural light and the with flash alternate quickly. Having to hold down the power button to turn it off takes too long as does scrolling to the menu. This needs to be a physical on/off switch.

This is the first A1 I buy after having D2’s, B1’s, B2’s A10 plus and varius modifiers. Having a cohesive system, fast recycle time and being able to use the same OCF 1.3X1.3, 2’ octa 1X3’s …etc is amazing. I find this both highly functional and elegenet to use with amazing results

I wasn’t going to do a negative write-up on the A1X, but as you keep sending me gentle reminders, I guess you really want to hear my opinion: this is the second A1X in my toolkit and it broke down within three days of use. I’m still awaiting a replacement unit. The first A1X fared a lot better. That didn’t break down until I had used it for 14 months… The light quality is fantastic, operation is outstanding and it integrates perfectly with the rest of my Profoto arsenal. But it is absolutely the least reliable Profoto model I have ever used. I’d probably still recommend this to photographers who work regularly with other Profoto lamps and have an established workflow based around this system, but it’s not a workhorse like the B- and D-series lamps. The fact that I still rate this at three stars is a testament to the light quality, but as one of the main reasons to pay a premium for a brand like Profoto is the supposed reliability, I think it is safe to say that there is room for improvements. Funny thing is, I bought this second A1X unit because I really loved the light, but didn’t trust the first unit to be the only small light in my bag…

Like the new head movement, but the case is a tighter fit for the A1x. I have a Canon compatible A1 which fits its case perfectly. Been used on a lifestyle shoot at Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland in cold windy conditions. Not a single misfire, and the new battery does well in these temperatures (5C max).

The Profoto A1X is designed with light shaping capabilities; it has a unique round head with a soft, smooth fall-off that makes it easy to create a natural and beautiful light. It also includes a smart magnetic mount and dedicated Light Shaping Tools that click on and off quickly and easily. They can be stacked for more creative options. The A1X also offers a built-in LED modeling light that makes it easy to position the light and understand how light and shadows work together.
And it’s extremely easy to use. The user interface is large, clean and clear. Like all Profoto products, it’s intuitive to use and you don’t need to read a long instruction manual to understand how it works. AirTTL remote is also built in to the A1X. With AirTTL and HSS you create professional results fast and easy and with the remote you can seamless connect to other Profoto flashes and control them easily from the A1X.
Profoto A1X is not only an on-camera flash, it’s also very effective off-camera as a standalone unit. The A1X has its own Li-Ion high capacity exchangeable battery that lasts up to four times longer than AA batteries with no performance fade, and a facility to recharge quickly - so you can shoot for longer with confidence. And the A1X can keep up with you because it recycles four times faster than other on-camera solutions – that’s 1.0s at full power. Put simply, you’ll never miss a shot.
