Calling all Profoto Users

[Mola Setti]

Went to see Boon Soon at Shriro and was told Tomohitogo got bitten by a Dengue MosQ and got hospitalised in KTPH .
Remember him as the ever helpful guy at Prugs .
Ken Seet got bitten last year and took a long time to fully recover .
Hope he gets well soon .

Took the Profoto Pro8a power generator and two heads out over the weekend for my personal works shoot.

H4D-40 + HC 80mm f/2.8
Two Profoto Pro-heads on Profoto Pro8 power generator
Standard reflector bowls for the two Pro-heads
SB-900 for hairlight.

I cannot say enough how much I love Profoto's quality of light. Can never quite see myself use other brands again.

Still working on the rest of the photos. Will try to post up soon.

Dear Profoto users

I dont have a canon 580Exii but was told this .
You can connect an Air sync to the canon and trigger 2 x D1 Air from the studio kit together .

You can go down to the showroom at Shriro House with your 580exii to try this.

If you are buying the D1 kit and the Air sync from SLR revolution in Funan you can try this there as well .

Or if buying from Studio outfitters they should be able to let you try as well .

Just make sure all recievers are at the same channel.

If you meant to mount the 580 EX on camera to trigger the D1s, you just need to set the 580 to manual mode and turn on the slave cells on the D1s.

denis was telling me of his latest Acute 2 2400 pro value pack kit (with 2 heads ) offer .
This is going to be $ 4990 before 7%gst !
Great buy , and can order now !

Hey u know offer still avail?

 

[ghoonk]

Guys, quick question - I just picked up a set of Profoto D4/Acute 2400 with 2 heads, and the modeling lamps are of the 120V variety (bought from US). Any idea where I can get replacement modeling bombs in 240V (250W ones should be enough), what they cost, and whether they have to be Profoto or if OEM ones exist?

Can be other brands that have the E11 screw on. Check out one of the shops at Sim Lim Tower top level that sells all kinds of light bulbs.

Go to 3rd Level Sim Lim Tower.
Shop is called SINTER and the modeling lamp costs about S$20.00. It's a japanese brand called Phoenix. Bring your 120V along to show them and ask for the 240V version. They have two kinds and one of them has a bigger base than the other and if you buy the wrong one - it won't fit into your Acute head.
