Building upon the achievements and acclaim of the A1X, Profoto presents an upgraded model, the A10 AirTTL-F Studio Light designed for FUJIFILM. The A10 features the same robust battery, now capable of delivering 450 full-power flashes, an improvement from the previous 350, along with a rapid full-power recycling time of one second and 20 wireless channels. A notable innovation of the A10 is its ability to synchronize with your iPhone camera. The Profoto Control and Profoto Camera applications facilitate a Bluetooth connection between your iPhone and the A10, eliminating the need for any additional hardware. This application allows for precise adjustments to the A10's flash tube power and LED modeling light, as well as control over standard camera settings such as shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and white balance in 1/3 EV increments. Users can capture images in various formats, including HEIF, JPG, or raw, and the device even includes a self-timer feature. Rather than sending a rough approximation of a shot to a colleague or client, you can now email or text a professionally lit image. Additionally, future firmware updates for the A10 can be downloaded directly through your smartphone. The A10 has been designed for professional photographers who prioritize both portability and performance, as well as for aspiring non-professionals who appreciate high-quality lighting but prefer a user-friendly experience without the complexities of a technical interface. The A10 is remarkably straightforward to operate; it can be unboxed and utilized immediately. Weighing just 1.2 pounds, including the battery, the A10 features an elegant matte black finish that is visually appealing and pleasant to the touch. One of the most striking aspects of the A10 is its 2.75-inch round head, which can tilt and rotate. This feature significantly contributes to the A1X's ability to produce natural-looking light with a soft, gradual fall-off. The head includes an auto-zoom function that accommodates focal lengths ranging from 32 to 105mm, although users can manually override this feature at any time. Additionally, a filter kit containing graduated CTO conversion filters and a fluorescent filter is available separately to adjust the unit's daylight color temperature. The A10 boasts a rapid recycling time of one second, outpacing many flash units in its category, and offers flash durations that can freeze action from 1/800 to 1/20,000 of a second. It supports High-Speed Sync (HSS), enabling photographers to shoot at shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000 of a second, rather than the standard 1/250, which helps to blur distracting backgrounds while managing strong ambient light behind the subject. The 76Ws head is equipped with an LED modeling light that provides a preview of how the light interacts with the subject. This light can be toggled on or off, set to adjust automatically in proportion to the selected power level, or switched to manual mode for individual adjustments. All settings are clearly displayed on an exceptionally legible white-on-black LCD screen. The A10 operates on a lithium-ion battery that provides a capacity for 450 full-power flashes, an improvement over the previous model's 350 flashes. The included 100-240 VAC charger can fully recharge a depleted battery in approximately 80 minutes. Notably, the battery maintains its peak performance throughout its usage, ensuring consistent output until it is completely drained. It is advisable to purchase an additional battery for extended use. While we have primarily focused on the A10's on-camera functionality, its true potential is revealed when utilized off-camera, where it truly embodies the designation of "Studio Light." The flash features an integrated transceiver, enabling compatibility with other A10s, A1s, A1Xs, B2s, D2s, B1s, B1Xs, and B10 monolights. The Air Remote wireless controllers can activate the A1X from distances of up to 1000 feet, with the Air Sync providing straightforward wireless triggering. The Air Remote allows for wireless adjustments of power, grouping, channel selection, and modeling light activation. The Air Remote TTL further enhances the user experience by facilitating the exploration and management of the A10's comprehensive features. It enables wireless assignment of channels and groups, as well as TTL and power level adjustments. Additionally, the A10 is equipped with a switch that permits users to set the main light to TTL, switch to manual mode for adjusting the output of manual units in other groups, and then revert to the original TTL setting stored in memory. The A10 also offers +/-3 stops of exposure compensation, which can be adjusted remotely to meet specific requirements. Included with the light are a Bounce Card, Flash Stand, and a nylon bag with a shoulder strap for convenient storage and transport. Advanced Technology Allows You to Sync A10 Flash with iPhone Camera Profoto's innovative "AirX" technology empowers users to harness the full flash power of the A10 while capturing images with an iPhone. The Profoto Camera iOS application effectively transforms your smartphone into a professional-grade camera. A significant advantage is that your Profoto equipment will adapt alongside the continuous advancements in mobile technology, ensuring its longevity and relevance. Additionally, your smartphone can be utilized for future firmware updates. The Camera app establishes a Bluetooth connection between your iPhone and the A10, eliminating the need for any extra hardware attachments. This application allows for precise adjustments to the A10's flash tube power and LED modeling light, as well as control over standard camera settings such as shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and white balance in 1/3 EV increments. Users can capture images in various formats, including HEIF, JPG, or raw, and the app even features a self-timer. Rather than sending a rough approximation of a shot to a colleague or client, you can now share a professionally lit image via email or text.
