Despite being the size of a soda can, the A2 delivers 400 full-power flashes at 100W from one battery charge. It keeps a recycling time of 0.05-1.3 seconds and functions at a range of 100m (330ft) with remote control and TTL. A2 is fully compatible with the Profoto system thanks to its built-in Bluetooth AirX technology and it’s an excellent companion in natural light settings. For more light-shaping opportunities, use it with the full range of Clic modifiers. Add the Clic OCF Adapter II (Estimated availability November 2022.) to your kit and access the +120 OCF light shaping tools to expand your possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv
