Light and Motion made some lofty promises when it announced the Reflex LED lighting system. Designed to be both a still and video light, it can certainly do both, but we wanted to see if it truly could replace standalone classic strobe systems like the Profoto A1X.
Profoto got into the speedlight game in recent years with its $1,100 A10 and $900 A1X flashes, and now it has unveiled the OCF Adapter: $300 light stand and modifier mount for those products. For a company often derided for its high prices, its latest is may be seen as very much on brand.
Profoto has just unveiled the latest iteration of the A1 series of round-head speedlights. First came the Profoto A1, then the Profoto A1X, and now the company has unveiled the Profoto A10: basically an A1X with Bluetooth and "AirX" technology built in.
Profoto has just announced the new A1X, a "new and improved sibling" to the A1 round-head flash that was announced back in September 2017.
