The app keeps shutting down at every shot taken
I downloaded the app signed in and the second I try to connect to a B10 plus the app kills itself. The app ends and goes to me Home Screen. Then I can’t open the app without it ending itself 3 seconds later. I’ve deleted the app and redownloaded it. Same thing happens.
I was thrilled that you’re able to not only connect the app to your lights (I use B10X Plus units), but you can simultaneously connect the app to your Connect Pro trigger. This is extremely useful when using a light meter. No more removing/reattaching the trigger your camera. Also incredibly useful to turn on/off the modeling lights when you are at the scene and adjusting the light positions. Being able to update firmware for strobes and the Connect Pro is also very handy. Very easy-to-use and understandable interface.
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…
Still waiting for a firmware update for my Leica M10M to use TTL and HSS. It’s been six months owning this and maybe a year since it was announced. Luckily it triggers my 4- Profoto flash heads in manual mode.
It’s cool but I wish there could be an Iwatch version to control a si gel light through the watch instead
I wish there was a remote for the apple watch!
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!
You have taken away all the useful functionality I can’t even see what the power of my lights are set on anymore. I am only able to blindly adjust the up or down by 1/10 of a stop with out knowing my starting or end point
I tried very hard and too many times to update my Profoto B10 plus and my A10 with no success at all. The app just froze every time. I had to do it manually by downloading the firmware to my laptop and connecting my devices directly to my laptop via usb cable. The app may have other uses which I haven’t used and for that reason I gave it a 3 stars, otherwise I would have given it only one.
