John, assuming you mean "what options do you have for using his gear during the course", your Pentax gear will work just fine with the Profoto kit, fully manual operation only.
Neither xTTL or HSS features will work but that's 100% okay since Tony Corbell is an old school guy and he teaches flash metering and manual strobe settings. The Air remotes allow manual triggering and full remote control -- on/off, power levels, modelling lamps, etc. -- from your hotshoe. Like Larry, I have no use for xTTL in studio strobes. It relies too much on luck; it meters by reflected light while I believe strongly in measuring incident light; and subject movement within the studio space can alter the results. HSS has its uses like overpowering the sun outdoors, but I'm okay with using an ND filter instead. If you are looking for gear recommendation for you to buy afterward, I have opinions there too. :-) On Sun, Jun 10, 2018 at 8:48 PM, John <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm taking a class on lighting this week with Tony Corbell.
