Utilizing the glass domes on the D1's helps many of the Profoto lighting modifiers perform more as expected (less hot spots on all soft boxes)
A must for the longer 1x6 strip box and the beauty dish as well. The beauty dish has a much more pleasant and expected output with domes in place rather than utilizing the built in reflector of the D1's in my opinion.

Save yourself the trouble and [$]. The difference in light spread between this and the glass on large softboxes is only 1/5 a stop while hotspot produced by d1 air is over a stop brighter than edge. These monolights can't be used with anything but umbrella PERIOD.

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
I use these on D1 heads to broaden the dispersion angle so that large softboxes are evenly filled. I don't find them necessary for small boxes. They are totally over priced, but there are no alternatives.
Pros
- Great with modifiers
Cons
- Installation is slow

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
Overpriced, should be about 39 bucks, but thats Profoto and I guess I think it is worth it. Otherwise typical impeccable Profoto quality. Improves D1 light quality with Soft Boxes and is mandatory for Beauty Dishes. Works nicely bare in large spaces (similar to bare bulb but softer).

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
A must for even light distribution with light shapers. A little awkward to install and take off. Needs a travel cap so you can leave it on. This should be included in the price of the D1 lights.

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
I use this in my Profoto D1 1000 Airs for my 5' Octabox. It is by far superior light compared to the glass plate. The thing about this product is that it's hard to find and I have 4 D1s and only 1 Glass Dome!

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
It gives a better spread of light. I like how easy is to install too! I bit too expensive in my opinion and I am starting to wonder if I purchasing a name brand more than anything else, but still the quality is superd.

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
The Profoto domes are a must for even light distribution. Only two issues I found were that it is awkward to install and once on the D1 there is no travel cap for the glass dome. Great when your going to have your lights set up for an extended period of time.

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
I am not going to rate this poorly because Profoto decided not to include this standard with their expensive monolights.
If you have the D1 monolights, buy this to make the light more even in softboxes, Magnum reflectors and beauty dishes.
It is very well made and will last a lifetime!

Comments about Profoto Glass Dome for D1 Monolight - Frosted:
when using the larger profoto modifiers, this is required.
be careful with overheating, this can crack the dome... make sure you leave some ventilation with prolonged modeling light usage with modifiers such as a softbox.
