Profoto Pro-D3 Overview
The Studio Workhorse
Exceptional frequency, speed, and reliability come together as Profoto introduces the Pro-D3 1250Ws Duo Monolight 2-Light Kit, packing two powerhouse monolights with polished features and advanced technology. Developed for high-volume image creation, each Pro-D3 recycles in an impressive 0.01-0.8 sec, along with a Freeze mode flash duration of 1/62,000 sec to stop any action. Compelling features include three distinct Eco, Boost, and Freeze flash modes for different performance options. The purpose of the all-new Eco mode is to optimize the Pro-D3`s parameters for color consistency and extended lifetime.
Professional photographers will also appreciate a powerful output, TTL compatibility, HSS, and 11 stops of power variation. The Pro-D3 has a conveniently brighter LED modeling light, adjustable as well. Uncomplicated and effortless, Profoto`s latest intuitive user interface and AirX connectivity will take your creative workflow to the next level. From power and speed to consistent and reliable operation, the Pro-D3 is designed to suit any project, even the most challenging ones.
Profoto Reaches New Heights
Carefully engineered as a heavy-duty industrial-grade tool, the Pro-D3`s properties were completely thought out from the ground up. Profoto took a step forward by meticulously developing every component of the flash to drastically elevate its performance. By improving the Pro-D3`s capacitors and reinforcing its flash tube, it offers a 2.5 longer runtime, a higher number of total flashes, and a prolonged lifespan.
Made for High-Volume Shoots
The Pro-D3 1250Ws is a studio workhorse with an impressive 11 f-stop flash power adjustment range and 0.1 f-stop precision. Profoto has aimed to satisfy the most demanding shooting circumstances, which are often found in e-commerce studios handling high-volume imaging workloads. In other words, the Pro-D3 gives you the ability to shoot at a pace that suits your photographic requirements. The Pro-D3 is alternatively valuable for rental houses if you consider that Profoto is the lighting brand that you`ll find in almost every professional photo studio.
Eco, Boost & Freeze Modes
The flash head normally runs in Eco mode to prioritize color fidelity and maximize its lifetime. If you`re dealing with situations where an extra punch is needed, a Boost mode is available to get you exactly where you need it. Last but not least, a Freeze mode offers motion-stopping flash durations to capture liquid sprays and splashes and to achieve other creative effects.
Always Ready for Action
This monolight can provide super quick flash durations of up to 1/62,000 seconds in Freeze mode. Shoot a splash of liquid, and it will be frozen in midair.
- Eco mode: 1/1400 sec - 1/5000 sec
- Boost mode: 1/1400 sec - 1/5000 sec
- Freeze mode: 1/1400 sec - 1/62,000 sec
Intuitive Onboard Controls
All of the reliable and convenient features we`ve come to expect from Profoto are onboard. Elegant, highly visible controls are combined with a clear screen display to facilitate local adjustments.
Profoto Air Functionality
The Pro-D3 fully supports Profoto Air functions, such as sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control with the brand`s separately purchased Air 1 and Air 2 remotes. The Pro-D3 also offers Bluetooth connectivity for full compatibility with the brand`s Profoto Camera and Profoto Control apps. High-Speed Sync (HSS) is ideal to shoot with a wide aperture in bright conditions or to freeze action with absolute sharpness.
LED Modeling Light
A bright 56W COB LED modeling light with a 400W halogen-equivalent output draws very little power and generates minimal heat. Beyond saving energy costs, the 5600K CCT continuous light outputs up to 2380 lux at 3.3` to let you previsualize your final shot. 92 CRI color accurate, the LED modeling light reaches 6300 lumens, allowing brightness adjustments from 100 to 1%. The modeling lamp can also be set to proportional mode so its intensity is automatically adjusted to be proportional to the flash power setting.
Widely Compatible
The Pro-D3 comes with an integrated reflector and a glass diffuser plate that flatters the light output of the monolight. Its 100mm front mount is compatible with over 120 optional Profoto modifiers, expanding your light-shaping possibilities. Furthermore, the flash`s stand adapter features a built-in umbrella slot.
Additional Benefits
- 3.5mm sync socket for external triggering of the flash
- The flash head has a USB-C connection for firmware updates
- User-replaceable upgraded flash tube
