Profoto have announced the long awaited Grid Kit for the A1 flashes, as well as a new A1 Duo Kits.
The Grid Kit comprises 2 compact magnetic mounted grids, which reduce the light spread to either 10° or 20°, and are also stackable with other A1 magnetic light shaping tools.
New A1 Duo Kits will also be available in Canon and Nikon versions, and offer two A1 flashes for $1795, which is $195 less than purchasing separately.
(Though it appears you do only get one battery charger with the Duo Kit, which are valued at $99 alone).
Also for A1 flash owners currently looking for creative colored gel options, a Flash Havoc reader has kindly pointed out the nicely labelled and organised ExpoImaging Rogue Gels are actually a good fit in the original A1 magnetic Gel Holders.

Shipping only one charger with two strobes is taking the piss.
I am thinking of the environment. If they want to deliver two chargers include a voucher for a second charger.
Nice, us Sony shooters left out in the cold again
