Profoto Connect Trigger

The Profoto Connect shutter release is a buttonless shutter release that allows you to integrate your camera with Profoto flashes and shape light more easily than ever before. It only has three settings: automatic, manual, and off. In auto mode, you just have to point and shoot to get a good exposure, as the shutter release takes care of calculating the intensity of the flash for you. In manual mode, you can adjust the light manually or through the Profoto app.

Whether you're an expert in created light or you're stepping into this world, you can now get beautiful natural light whenever you want and that suits your needs.
