1. Is the Profoto A1X compatible with all Sony mirrorless cameras?
Yes, the A1X AirTTL-S works with all Sony Alpha cameras featuring the Multi-Interface Shoe, including A7III, A7RV, A7SIII, A7IV, A9, A6000 series, and FX series. It supports Sony's P-TTL metering system for automatic exposure control.

2. What’s included with warranty and shipping options?
The Profoto A1X includes a comprehensive 2-year international warranty when registered within 60 days of purchase. Ships with rechargeable Li-Ion battery, charger, dome diffuser, bounce card, protective cap, and carrying bag. Express shipping available for urgent professional needs.

3. How does the A1X compare to Godox V1 for Sony users?
While the Godox V1 costs significantly less, the A1X offers superior color temperature accuracy (closer to daylight), sustained high-power shooting without thermal protection limits, and crucially—no TTL underexposure bugs that plague Godox-Sony combinations when shooting wide apertures off-camera. Professional photographers value the A1X's consistent performance during paid shoots.

4. What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
Minimal maintenance required—charge the Li-Ion battery before extended use (2-hour charge time), clean the flash head with a soft cloth, and store with the protective cap when not mounted. Battery replacement every 2–3 years with heavy professional use. Profoto's build quality ensures years of reliable operation.

5. Why choose Profoto over more affordable flash options?
Profoto's reputation stems from reliability when it matters most—during paid shoots, weddings, and critical moments. The A1X eliminates common Sony flash issues like wireless dropout, inconsistent TTL metering, and thermal limitations. Professional photographers invest in Profoto for consistent results, superior build quality, and comprehensive support network.
