I do a ton of shooting in low ambient lighting conditions and I lean heavily on AF assist to help me focus. There’s no AF assist light on the Air Remote.As a result, you have to yell over to your lighting assistant (or walk over to the light) if you want to know your power setting. From there, you can increase or decrease power in tenth-stop increments, but the remote will always revert back to the neutral position after adjustments. The power readout on the remote is always set to a 0.0. The Air Remote doesn’t tell you what the power setting is on the B10.Now for my two biggest gripes with the Profoto system, both of which have more to do with the Air Remote than the B10 specifically: I’ll take those numbers any day of the week. Out of every 50 shots, I had maybe one or two misfires. That wasn’t the case for me, unfortunately, but it was still pretty darn consistent. I’ve heard tales of photographers firing off hundreds or even thousands of shots with these lights and never having a single misfire. This way, if you have multiple Profoto batteries, you can quickly and easily check the life of each battery without having to insert it into the B10 and power on the light. I don’t see this coming in handy for wedding work, but I think a lot of studio photographers out there will love this feature.įinally, there’s a button on the back of the battery that shows you how much juice you have left. Simply plug the charger cord into the jack on the bottom of the light and voila! You can now shoot with the B10 while it’s charging. Plus, you can charge the battery without even removing it from the Profoto B10. I also really like how the battery is built seamlessly into the side of the light and attaches/detaches easily for battery swapping. a demo shoot at our Iconoclasm Workshop,.I can’t say for certain how many flashes I popped off or at which power, but one charge got me through: During the time I had the B10 in my possession, I didn’t have to recharge the Profoto battery once.
