remote triggering an XF

[Massive Si]

The only way to remote (without cables) trigger an XF, is to buy a profoto trigger for hundreds and hundreds of dollars?

timer isnt fesible

Or is there some alternative way?

The simplest of Profoto's Air Sync should work fine.
Discontinued but should be able to find used at a reasonable price.

Cascable on an iPad or iPhone comes to mind.

I use Capture Pilot Remote when in the studio. Works well and you don’t take up any ports on the camera.

Hi,

Apple (they are this day in the middle of a crisis, the fact that the C-level executive for AI believes that LLM is not important after they lost badly with Siri is quite telling) should work with the camera vendors to create an API for the Apple watch. If it worked it would be the best remote ever.

Best regards,
