Had a good month last month... so...
Replacing an SB5000, this is my first Profoto unit... I'll probably start building a location system from here.
I've read all the scoffing about the price above. Yes it's expensive but at the same time it strikes me as good value... Quality oozes out of it as soon as you open the box, similar to the feeling I got when I unboxed my Irix 11mm Blackstone lens... everything moves with a satisfying quality feel, makes my SB5000 feel like a toy.
Turn it on and sheer joy... an intuitive and easy to understand menu system. Maybe it's my total lack of patience or maybe I'm just thick but I could never get to grips with Nikon flash menu's. This is in a different league of user friendliness.
First impressions:
Huge easy to read display and intuitive menu system.
Super fast recycle time.
Intuitive manual zoom ring.
Modelling LEDs a big plus (very handy for assessing the zoom setting).
Magnetic attachments super fast and easy to use... and they're strong and stable (to coin a phrase).
All I have to do now is take some pics with it!
