Recently, I had a photographer friend over and showed him my Flashpoint eVOLV 200 set up. His response was that it seemed pretty cool, but that he’s a Profoto guy…
But having a little light like that, 4 times the power of speedlite with the same form factor, would come in pretty handy since he travels a lot.
And when I say he travels a lot, I mean he travels to multiple continents.
Then he sent me an email last week…
“Looks like Profoto has been seeing those little flash units flying off the shelves!”
Attached was a link to an article on Lighting Rumours.
The subject of the article? A leaked photo by Profoto possibly showing a small, lens-sized lighting unit.

The photo bears the caption, “PACKING LIGHT!”
Oh, I see what you did there! You played on light as in not very heavy and light as in lighting unit. A double entendré, if you will…and I will!
Hmmm, color me intrigued. Profoto makes great (if pricey) products. What do you think of this new offering from Profoto?
