Profoto Pro-D3 1250Ws Duo Monolight (2-Light Kit)

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
