Mittelmaß bei Premiumpreis

Liebes Profoto-Team, ich benutze seit mehreren Jahrzehnten Eure Produkte und bin bei Eurer Hochpreispolitik bisher auch immer artig mitgegangen. Aber wenn Ihr es nicht bald z.B. mal schafft die Apps auch in den jeweiligen Landessprachen auszuspielen, dann ist das im Service eben nur tiefes Mittelmaß. Es gibt fast identische Produkte anderer Hersteller in etlichen Produktlinien am Markt, die aber nur ein Drittel kosten aber mindestens 90% der Leistung und Zuverlässigkeit bringen… Also liebe schwedische Freunde, investiert bitte mehr in den Service, es ist die einzige Chance Relevanz zu erhalten und Eure Preise zu rechtfertigen. Und dieser
Controller ist mit das beste Beispiel dafür!

Testen der Profoto Control App Version 3.3.3 = mangelhaft

Leider stürzt die App auf dem IPhone 17 Air immer wieder ab. Auch der Registrierungsprozess der Profoto Connect Nikon wurde scheinbar nicht komplett getestet. Auch wenn die Profoto Connect im Account bekannt ist, kommt immer wieder dieser Dialog. Ein Firmware Update ist somit nicht möglich.

Unable to register equipment in app

The app will not allow me to register my lights and remote which means that I am also not able to make firmware updates using the app.
