Frequently Asked Questions
How do the gels attach to the Profoto A1?
The gels use Profoto's built-in magnetic mount system on the A1, so they click on and off instantly without adapters, clips, or tape.
Will this gel kit work with Profoto flashes other than the A1?
The kit is designed specifically for the Profoto A1's magnetic mount. It will not attach to other Profoto heads without a compatible magnetic adapter.
What types of gels are included in the kit?
The kit includes color correction gels for balancing flash output to match common ambient light sources such as tungsten and fluorescent lighting.
Do the gels affect flash output power significantly?
Yes, as with any gel, placing a filter over the flash head reduces light output. Denser correction gels will reduce output more than lighter ones, so you may need to increase flash power to compensate.
