Available in two versions, the Pro-8a 2400 Air and the Pro-8a 1200 Air, this system is renowned for its robust construction and versatility, making it an essential tool for both studio and location photography.

One of the standout features of the Pro-8a 2400 Air and Pro-8a 1200 Air is their impressive power output. The Pro-8a 2400 model offers up to 2400 watt-seconds, while the Pro-8a 1200 delivers a maximum output of 1200 watt-seconds. This high power capacity ensures photographers can achieve optimal exposure even with larger light modifiers or at greater distances.

Both models are equipped with Profoto's AirTTL technology, which allows for seamless wireless connectivity between the flash units and compatible cameras.
