Profoto and Fuji X series

[fjeldheim]

Hi.

Do any of you have anny experience with B1 and B2 on the X series?

 

I use a Sekonic flash meter and want to use PocketWizard Plus III as i use today. The plan is to use one of the PocketWizards connected to the Air Remote and one on the camera, so I get remote flash release when I use the light meter (L-478DR, have built in PocketWizard transmitter).

I use the Profoto B1 with my X-T1 and 2 PocketWizards Plus III. Works fine.

But please Fuji talk to Profoto and let them make a TTL remote for Fuji cameras!

I use PocketWizards and any strobe that has an onboard receiver or that they can plug into - they work great!

 

It'd be really lame if the $2000 B1 didn't have a built in receiver.  Or if it did have a built in receiver that only worked with the $500 Profoto sender.

The combo you've described works just fine, I use it sometimes (comes with a rental studio). But it does exactly nothing that PCB Einstein / CyberCommander combo won't do for a fraction of the cost.

Yeah, unless you're shooting with Nikon/Canon and using the TTL/HSS Remote features there's not much compelling about the B1 - it's just a REALLY expensive battery powered strobe.

 

Now, let's say they made the head 1000+w/s with the ability to plug them in directly.  That would start to be compelling.
