Profoto questions?

[ldelacruz]

I haven't picked them up yet but will this week. I am going to get the D1Air kit with air remote.

Ming,
You bring the Shortys and I will bring the lights!

If it's not too late, I've got a set of D1 500 Airs in my studio that you can come check out.

Quick answer to a few questions:

You can use any softbox on them so long as you sue a Profoto compatible ring. If it were me, I'd buy Creative Light modifiers; distributed by the same people who distribute Profoto. The CL stuff is very well made and less than half the cost of Profoto. I also have a lot of Profoto and CL boxes in my studio so you can compare.

You can connect Pocket Wizards to the Airs -- but the Air system is so good, I would not.

I've written an article about the D1's here:

I know this is a big investment and if you'd like to stop by, contact me.

I would have to say Steve is a great guy, Ming and myself stopped by one day and he showed us around and talk shop! Great studio and great photographer!
