Key Features
The Profoto A2 is a 100Ws monolight, providing ample power for both on-location and studio work. Its compact form factor (just 3.1 x 3 x 4.8 in; 495g) makes it easy to transport and mount almost anywhere. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery delivers up to 400 full-power flashes per charge and recycles in just 0.1–1.6 seconds, ensuring you never miss a shot. With Profoto AirX, you can trigger and control the A2 wirelessly from up to 100 meters away using the included Connect Pro trigger for Fujifilm, or even from your smartphone via the Profoto app.
Wireless Freedom & Advanced Control
The included Profoto Connect Pro (Fujifilm) provides seamless integration with Fujifilm cameras, offering both TTL and manual controls. The AirX system ensures compatibility across a wide range of Profoto lights, enabling multi-light setups and advanced lighting schemes. High-speed sync (HSS) capability allows you to shoot at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s, freezing motion and overpowering ambient light with ease.
Creative Light Shaping
The A2 is compatible with Profoto’s innovative Clic light shaping accessories, enabling fast and secure magnetic attachment of gels, grids, and domes to refine your light. The round flash head provides natural, pleasing fall-off and soft, beautiful light quality, well-suited for portraits, events, and creative work.
Robust Build & Portability
Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the A2 features a durable chassis and intuitive controls. Its small footprint and lightweight design make it a perfect companion for photographers who travel light or work in tight spaces. The kit packs easily into any camera bag without adding significant bulk.
