Profoto C1 Plus

Profoto C1 Plus – the Rolls Royce™ of mobile flashes

The Profoto C1 Plus is a palm-sized mobile flash for studio use; it produces a beautiful light and allows you to capture professional-looking images in a simple way. Point and shoot with automatic exposure so that the power adjusts according to the environment, and you can choose dramatic or natural light with a swipe of your finger. Those who want more control and freedom regarding power use the C1 flash in manual mode.

The Profoto C1 Plus is shaped to be round, which helps in producing soft light. Its colour scale is wide enough for you to match the light to the ambient lighting conditions, from dawn to dusk. To keep your images looking natural, the built-in reflectors and dome diffuser create organic shadows.

The mobile flash is compatible with its own light-shaping tools, which include colour gels, grids and domes, allowing you to create a wide variety of lighting situations. The modifiers click into place and off quickly thanks to the magnetic mount. The flash is lightweight, making it easy to use handheld, but mounting via a standard tripod thread is also available. You can also use multiple lights together. Because the C1 Plus is compatible with Profoto AirTTL triggers, you can also use it with a traditional camera.

Profoto C1 Plus is compatible with iPhone 7 and later. Its integrated 1500mAh lithium-ion polymer battery provides enough power for 200 full-power flashes or 40 minutes of continuous light at full power. From empty to full, the battery charges in two hours using the included USB-C to USB-A cable.
