Profoto Live - A1X Quick Tips

[@mikestarchuk7361]

First, thanks for posting your videos. My comment is that on this as well as the previous video, I noticed that your D2 / B10 lights were attached to the c-stand arm on the opposite side of the griphead. I would suggest that rather than simply mounting the light onto the arm, use the griphead with a baby pin to which the light can be attached. The problem with mounting the light directly onto the arm is that the light can rotate no matter how hard you tighten the clamp screw. If the arm is in a vertical position the rotation would not be noticeable but when moved out at an angle beyond the vertical the problem occurs and is magnified when a modifier is attached to the strobe caused by the extra weight. Needless to say if that rotation happens when the modifier is close to the talent, it could be a problem. I realize that for demo purposes not using the griphead is fairly straight forward but some viewers may simply follow what you are demonstrating and mount the light directly to the arm. I think as a channel representing Profoto, best practices should always be followed and having said all that, this is just a constructive suggestion.

Thank you! I figured that update on my own but I wish I had seen this first. I had no idea for the longest time that the A1x wouldn’t have any indication it was ready to update.
