Profoto's remotes & triggers
Experience seamless connectivityWireless flash triggers
First things first, before any shot can be taken and any Profoto flash can be triggered, you need a Profoto remote. You can view remotes, commonly known as “flash triggers”, as the nerve center of your lighting setup. They enable you to quickly find the correct exposure, remotely control flash settings from any shooting position, and wirelessly trigger your flashes. All Profoto remotes connect seamlessly to both your camera and Profoto flashes and have an operating range of 100 m (330 ft). You can adjust the flash's power output in a tenth of an F-stop, or in full F-stop increments for any selected group of flashes. With Air TTL and AirX-enabled remotes and flashes, you can focus fully on the shot rather than your gear. TTL (through the lens) instantly gives you a perfectly exposed image by using your camera’s light metering function. You can also switch from auto to manual mode to change your flash setting. If you use HSS mode (High-Speed Sync), you can shoot with a wide-open aperture and simultaneously maintain control of your ambient light. This comes in handy on sunny days since you can shape the light at shutter speeds of up to 1/8,000s.
