Profoto C1 Light

Compact enough to rest in the palm of your hand, the Profoto C1 is a smartphone studio light that delivers professional results with ease. It produces beautiful light with a simple click, using automatic exposure and flash power that adjust to the surrounding environment. With a quick swipe you can move between natural looking and more dramatic effects, or switch to manual mode for greater control over power, exposure, and color temperature.

The C1 is built with a round design that provides soft falloff and a wide range of colors to suit different lighting conditions from early morning to late evening. A dome diffuser and built-in reflectors help maintain a natural look by producing smooth, organic shadows. Its compact size makes it easy to hide within your composition or use handheld to create unique lighting effects and angles. You can adjust the color temperature to add warmer or cooler tones, blend the light with existing ambient conditions, or mix in contrasting colors. Multiple C1 units can also be used together to create dramatic shadows or bright, natural light.

This portable studio light works with iPhone 7 and later models and includes a built-in 1500mAh lithium-ion polymer battery capable of delivering up to 2000 full-power flashes or 30 minutes of continuous output at maximum brightness. The battery recharges in about two hours with the supplied USB Type-C to Type-A cable. The C1 features a color rendering index above 90 for lifelike tones, offers adjustable output up to 1600 lumens, and lets you choose between flash or flicker-free continuous light. A capture button is built in so you can shoot directly while painting your images with light and shadow.
