Profoto Control 4+

Thrilled with ability to adjust power.

This may be known to a majority of users. I just discovered how to adjust the power level of multiple flash heads. Not just the 3 stops up or down. The actual power from .01 to 10. This is fantastic. Thank you Profoto…

Sometimes good sometimes bad on c1 with i phone 12 pro max

I took photo with i phone 12 pro max . The back camara capture decent photo sometimes if i get the adjustments right on auto mode . I mean to be on auto it should be fully auto ? No ? I still have to adjust multiple times to get it right . Because is too dark , too warm or too washed out . The results are not consistent . And the iPhone 12 series have very good computational photo built in their camara app is a shame that the profoto app doesn’t use it in their app . Have to adjust soo much to get it right but if you get it right its so much better but i have to take like 100 pic to get 1 photo . I’m using c1 buly the way . And i take mostly beauty shot or head shot for my portfolio because I’m mua . I was thinking if c1 can use directly with i phone build in camara with that processing computational photography that will be bomb . The profoto app processing human subject not correct in my opinion . Also the worse is selfie is useless. Is not like advertised . To conclusion C1 and iPhone should be convenient and flawless to use pls fix Auto mode and image processing pls or make it possible to use with build in camara app .

Thanks, please try the latest update 2.5.0!
We added Apple ProRAW support, in addition to RAW format.
Now Auto Exposure works also with B10 and A10 and it works much better.

And... we are also working on a new app! Very soon!

Terrible update - June 2022

Profoto is the “it just works” lighting company. Unfortunately not anymore! The latest update to the Profoto Control app has REMOVED the ability to SEE the power setting of your lights in manual mode. MOST professionals start with Auto and then switch to Manual mode to adjust the settings of the lights. In the latest update to the app, (June 2022) we are working blind because the app only shows us changes in tenths of a stop WITHOUT showing us the final power setting of the lights. PLEASE Profoto put this function, to show the power setting of the lights in manual mode, BACK into the app like it was in previous versions of the Profoto Control app. This is the sort of negative change to a professional workflow that makes people switch brands. Seriously Profoto do better!

Ответ разработчика ,

Thanks for your feedback! We added ability to control flash power for individual group when you have Connect connected.

When Connect and individual lights are all connected in parallel, you will not be able to control individual lights directly, but just via Connect instead (group-centric control).

If you want to control individual lights and see absolute flash power values for each light, just disconnect Connect from your app.

Let us know how it goes (hello@profoto.com),
And thanks for reconsidering your app rating,
Many thanks,
Marko.
