Profoto Air Remote TTL-F Compatible with Fujifilm X-H1 and X-T20 Support Coming in April

Share

Currently, the Profoto Air Remote TTL-F supports Fujifilm GFX 50S, X-T2, X-Pro2 and X100F, but as we told you back in December, they announced support for further Fujifilm cameras.

Well, besides the Fujifilm X-H1, which is compatible out of the box with the Air Remote TTL-F, Profoto announced that Fujifilm will release a firmware upgrade in April to make it compatible also with the Fujifilm X-T20.

Would be great if they could add also support for X-T1, but at this point we can be fairly pessimistic that this won’t happen.

REMINDER: The Fujifilm X-T20 will get a massive firmware update in April, that is definitely worth to be called a “Kaizen update”. We have shared the full details of the X-T20 update here.

Fujifilm X-H1 Cameralabs First Look, Video Centric Review, Face Detection Video Tracking Test and More

Face Detection Tracing test at 梅晟義 Youtube. Keep in mind it’s pre-production firmware. Looks good so far, though. Sometimes it looks unsharp, but that’s because of the smartphone recording.

The X-H1 Coverage Continues

The buzz surrounding the Fujifilm X-H1 launch seems never to end, and while this night was the first night after 10 days, that I could sleep at least 6 hours, my X-H1 coverage continues without a pause.

But given the huge X-H1 buzz, let’s make a little summary of what has been posted already in the last 3 days.

A special note goes to TheCameraStoreTV live stream, where Fuji Guy Billy answered really many questions, including the one how Fujifilm made the X mount compatible with IBIS.

Fujifilm X-H1 Development Story #2 -Frame Pt.2 – Heat Dissipation, IBIS and Shutter Shock Reduction

Share

The second episode of the Fujifilm X-H1 development story is now online. Just as the first episode, it is still focused on the X-H1 frame, more precisely on heat dissipation and on how Fujifilm minimized shutter shock. They also talk a bit about IBIS, but they say they will publish a more in depth article in future episodes.

Amongst the others we discover that:

“Realizing the first IBIS to be installed on the X Mount was a big challenge on its own, but our top priority is image quality, so we aimed for the highest standard from the get-go. This was not only a challenge for the IBIS development team, but also for the exterior design team.

[…] The sensor unit are not grounded to a surface, so it becomes more sensitive to shocks. Higher levels of shock countermeasures are required.

In short, the transmittance of shocks should be canceled to overcome the problem, but the shutter unit is right in front of the sensor. How could it possibly be done?

Spring was our answer. The shutter unit is suspended with five springs so they act as a shock absorber when the shutter is pressed. With this, vibration is not transmitted to other devices inside the camera The tension of each of these five springs is different because the impact on each of the 5 points is different when the shutter is pressed. The effect of this countermeasure is astounding.

[…] The X-H1 has a larger heat sink to efficiently dissipate the heat generated by the processor to the outside. And by transferring the heat absorbed by the heat sink to the front and back of the camera and by securing more surface area, the heat is released to the outside of the camera in much quicker time.”

Fujifilm X-H1: Media Slides + 5 Little Things That Make the it That Much Better

Share

Fujifilm X-H1 Media Slides

Once again, Fujifilm has improved the AF-algorithm on the Fujifilm X-H1, making it Fujifilm best camera for autofocus tracking and low light focussing.

What we have for you today, are some media slides, that illustrate the AF improvement and that highlight the difference between the Fujifilm X-H1 and the Fujifilm X-T2.

But there is more.

I will also attach other Fujifilm X-H1 slides, including an even more accurate table of the IBIS efficiency, where you can see that the XF35mmF1.4 actually has an average of 5.7 stops of stabilization!

Speaking of media slides, there are a lot more of them in Anthony Thurstons’ article “5 Little Things That Make the Fujifilm X-H1 That Much Better“. I will share a few of Anothony’s media slides below and integrate them with some that are not included in his google fotos drive.

Overall the slides demonstrate how many areas Fujifilm has improved over the X-T2, and of course we all cross fingers that, where possible, some of these improvements will come to X-T2 & Co via firmware update.

Is the Godox Witstro AD600 Pro a substantially better flash than its predecessor, the AD600?

guest post & all images by Markus Klinko

I have now had the Godox AD600 PRO in my hands for 48 hours, since posting my ‘first impressions’ review. What have I discovered since, and is it a substantially better flash than its predecessor, the AD600?

I used the brand-new Pro unit earlier today on a fashion shoot for Berlin-based fashion brand, Hadas Hinkis.

Since in my first round of clinical testing, I had already determined that one PRO has roughly the same output as the twin H1200, when paired with the legendary Broncolor Flooter S, I felt confident to bring only the PRO on set.

As expected, the PRO performed flawlessly during the entire shoot.
