Profoto Camera

When it works it is brilliant (C1+ lights are seamless), but when it doesn’t (A10 & A2 Auto Exposure badly underexposed), it hard to figure out why. There is no basic manual or help files to describes all the icons eg “eye” and “A with circle” at bottom of screen. Fiddling with settings while still in Auto mode corrects under exposure - but how? Some features ( swipe up to increase exposure of background in contrast ) you come across by accident in the Chris Fain video.

Great App, so much fun to use a wireless flash on the iPhone. Although manual is better for consistent results and deliberate effects, the auto mode is so easy. If you know nothing about balancing lights or creating contré-jour effects just set to natural, balanced or dramatic. Push on the screen and slide up and down to make brighter or darker. One thing that should be added is 48mp MX RAW. The 10-12mp isn’t good enough.

I cannot say thank you enough for keeping this app updated! You’re team is amazing for this!

Great app and I have all the lights, but the sad thing is I can not use the 48 megapixel feature. This makes the whole iPhone 14 max with this light a bit undervalued. In any case I hope the guys here at Profoto will see our pain and will help to deliver the product we all so desire.

I got this app specifically for the 48MP iphone 14. Totally disappointed to find out after purchasing a Profoto flash that 48MP is not supported . Profoto?? What’s going on? They are usually on point with the latest and greatest.

I can’t even with this. It’s a great tease to say it works with an iPhone but nah. Why can’t I get the flash on manual below 1.0 ? Why is it so buggy? Why does it keep doing weird things? Have you guys tried watching users with the app and tried to see how useless this is? I’m so frustrated

Feature update request. The native camera in the iPhone 14 Pro has 4 focal length presets. Profoto camera has only 3. The 1x lens on this camera has optical zoom to 2x. I can select 1x in Profoto Camera and spread my fingers on the screen to manually zoom to 2x (48 mm full frame equivalent) but that slows down composition. It would be a big help to have the “normal 50” 2x focal length as a preset like the native camera app does.

Not sure why I expect modern Profoto to offer experience worthy of their insane price tags but it’s pretty unfortunate they can’t get the basics of a camera app to work… ProfotoRAW format mode gives me an error every couple of captures saying the storage is full on my iPhone (not even close to true). When I try the jpeg format instead, I get corrupted jpegs. Pretty frustrating when I just spent $300 on a little led light advertised for phones and $2300 on a b10 plus also advertised to be able to use with phones.

Can’t shoot in the app without it glitching out and auto firing. It worked for about 6 frames until it decided to fire whenever it wanted to. Cannot recommend.

This is really a review more like question do you need to use the Profoto lights or will it work using other set of lights
