The Profoto D1 Air 1000 w/s Monolight is a significant refinement of the ComPact monolight series from the company which having become synonymous with professional strobe lighting, is now celebrating its 40th anniversary.
No stone has been left unturned in the provision of tech and convenience features that seem to derive from professional photographers' wish lists. The sleek matte-black, high-impact polycarbonate finish encases strobe design that goes beyond the highly visible LED readout and is digital from the ground up. The 7 stop power range breaks down to 1/10 stop increments providing flexibility, precision and consistency, made possible by dual mode SMPS capacitor charging.
A new built-in 77 degree reflector (5.12" diameter) maximizes case space and is ideal for umbrella and softbox use. Features that we've come to expect from Profoto over the years: short flash duration, rapid recycling, a bright 300W modeling lamp and heavy-duty cabling are all on-board.
New Profoto Air System technology replaces the sync cord, allowing the head to be remotely triggered from as much as 300 meters (1000 feet) away using a Profoto Air Remote or Air Sync transceiver (sold separately). The Air Sync provides wireless triggering (8 channels) via hot shoe or mini plug, while the Air Remote provides wireless triggering as well as full-function head control over 8 channels in 6 distinct groups. Additionally, the D1 Air's syncing and complete functionality can be wirelessly controlled via your PC or Mac by using Profoto's Air USB and Studio Air systems.
Modeling lamp operation is user-selectable: On/Off/Proportional and Free (manual). There is also a selectable flash confirmation (dimming) feature in addition to an audible, fully-recycled tone. The D1 is compatible with the full line of widely-acclaimed Profoto light-shaping tools. Finally, the self-sensing multi-voltage circuitry allows you to take the D1 anywhere in the world.

Comments about Profoto D1 Air 1000 w/s Monolight (120V-230V):
Just purchased the d1 recently, and I am in awe with how this light performs. 7 stop range is ridiculous, the fast recycling times enable you to shoot in continuous mode. It produces a nice even color temp. It's totally worth the price, prospective buyers should consider this an investment.

Comments about Profoto D1 Air 1000 w/s Monolight (120V-230V):
I purchased 6 of these Profoto D1 Monolights for location shooting. As a NYC Advertising Photographer I travel by aircraft 2-3 times per month. Because of travel restrictions and the downturned economic climate I've had to streamline my travel lighting kit. Clients no longer want to pay for multiple assistants and the thousands of dollars in fees when shipping heavy power packs and heads. Yet I still need to arrive at the job with enough equipment that is of high enough wattage to complete the shoot successfully. The Profoto monolights have worked extremely well for my location work. Their light-weight and small size allows me to carry 6 units in a single case that weighs less than 47 lb. The air-remote is very dependable and well made, great for controlling heads on booms and tall stands. I was concerned with the flat light surface of the head when used in softboxes: On testing the heads in my studio I found that on small and medium-sized boxes we see very little corner fall-off. On large and x-large boxes there is a noticeable light fall-off. There is also noticeable light fall-off when using the large 6 foot octa-boxes and strip-lights. Profoto has addressed this issue and now offers an accessory convex Pyrex dome, similar to what is on their standard flash heads that fixes this issue.( If your using umbrellas, grids or medium and small boxes the pyrex dome is not needed). If you are looking for the best 'bang for your buck' in profoto lighting, this is it. Plenty of power, recycling in less than a second, and a fast flash duration that will freeze moving subjects. Also, the flash head and modeling light work on all power voltages throughout the world (No need to carry voltage dependent modeling lights).
