Profoto has introduced the A2 Connect Kit, a compact lighting solution designed for photographers who need a portable yet powerful flash system. This kit includes the Profoto A2, a small but powerful monolight, and the Profoto Connect, a button-free remote trigger designed to simplify wireless flash control.
The Profoto A2 is aimed at photographers who need studio-quality lighting in a compact form. Weighing just 770g (including the battery) and measuring 12.6 cm in height, the A2 is significantly smaller than most monolights, making it an ideal choice for on-location shoots. Despite its small size, it delivers 100Ws of power, providing enough output to shape light effectively. The flash also supports Profoto’s AirX connectivity, allowing it to be controlled via a smartphone for greater flexibility.
Included in the kit is the Profoto Connect, a minimalistic wireless trigger that works with Profoto’s TTL and manual flash settings. Designed for ease of use, it eliminates buttons and dials, instead allowing photographers to control their lighting through the Profoto app or their camera’s settings. The A2 also integrates seamlessly with Profoto’s extensive light-shaping tools, including softboxes, umbrellas, and the Clic modifier system.
With a rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing up to 400 full-power flashes per charge, the Profoto A2 ensures reliability during long shoots. The fast recycle time of 0.1 to 1.6 seconds also means photographers can work efficiently without long delays between shots.
The Profoto A2 Connect Kit is perfect for portrait, wedding, and event photographers who need a lightweight and travel-friendly flash solution without sacrificing performance.
