As title, since profoto air remote is designed for canon or nikon, how can I get B1 to work with a medium format?

Thanks.

I believe you can achieve that with the Profoto Air Remote (Not the TTL-N/TTL-C). You won't have TTL or HSS though.

I am thinking to piggy back the air remote on top of a TTL5 or TTL1 to see if that works.

Using the B1/B2 (or other Profoto lights) is no different with a medium format camera or DSLR or other. You simply need to be able to trigger the lights, whether that be by pc sync cord or a compatible wireless trigger combination.

Outside of my Canon DSLR, the B1 works great with Phase One XF and Sony A7r with Air sync transceivers. No ttl, and not missed at all.

Yup. Hook it up and you're done. Hit the shutter, pop goes the strobe.

The Air Remote is a standard ISO hot shoe device, and the RZ67 has a standard ISO hot shoe. You don't even need a PC sync cable. Into the shoe and off to the races.
