Best Monolight I have ever Used

By Louis
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-04-24

I've used many lights in my career as a photographer. Back in November I purchased The Westcott FJ400 which I did like. When I purchased this light it made a world of a difference. When you buy a light of this level you really do see a difference. The Profoto D2 is by far the best light I've ever used and will only use Profoto lighting. This light performs so well I can't even find the words. It has very fast recycle time along with consistent color temperature when shooting at continuous shooting. My camera shoots at 10 frames per second and every click gives me consistent lighting in each frame. This one light goes a long way and I can't wait to get a second one. Highly Highly recommend. If you are a professional photographer spend the money trust me.

Complement to my B1's and B2's.

I currently own assortment of B1's and B2 which is perfect for location shooting. Profoto D2 are a perfect addition to as I begin to move into the studio. Great recycle time and color stability are the features you need for good shoot.

Love it

what's not to love?

I've been using dynalites for years. While I've had some minor gripes about these heads, they've been workhorses for DECADES. I've never had one in for a services repair but only had them in for refurbishing the contact points on the cable ends. That being said, with Dynalite now defunct, I needed to start moving my lighting over.  I love the profotos for their speed, and how easily they can be set up with modifiers. The heads are built strong. The mounting is easy. They fire fast and with the usage of a profoto air makes it seamless to adjust the power balance between strobes. I hope they are as reliable as my dynalites have been for over 30 years.

It really is incredible, it is worth every penny, excellent construction material, plus the constant light and power is always the same, it is something you need to advance to another level

Power and consistency are amazing!

The best lights you can buy for fast recycle and consistent power output. Well worth the investment.

question

what remote is available for sony a7rii users and this system before the air remote is released?
Asked by: daniel g.
Besides the Profoto Air Remote TTL-S for Sony B&H # PRARTTLS, which will give you TTL control from your A7R II, there is also the Profoto Air Remote Transceiver B&H # PRAR, which allows for manual control of the power output and allows you to trigger the D2 heads wirelessly. An image is shown below.

I have the D1 Air 500. The power cord often comes a little loose, causing me to lose power, especially when I have the strobe in almost vertical position. I've tried taping the cord in place, but it still comes loose. Does anyone else have this problem? I wonder if this right angle type of plug would help. Might be easier to secure with tape. It's so much cheaper than the Profoto cord, but I assume it would work just as well, right? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/917037-REG/c2g_27909_10_18_awg_universal.html
Asked by: Kathleen
Thank you, Reuben, for steering me away from the lightweight cable. I had been looking for one with a right angle plug, that's why I was considering that one. I see now that with the Profoto power cord, if I loop the cord through the handle on the strobe and tape it there, the plug does not come out when I reposition strobe.

question

will the Profoto D2 Hyper sync with my Pentax 645 Z ?
Asked by: Gerardo E.
Hypersync would be a feature available on the Pocket Wizard Mini and Flex system, which is only compatible with Canon or Nikon cameras. The same would apply for the Profoto Air TTL-C and TTL-N transmitters which also work only with Canon or Nikon and which uses high speed sync.

How hot does the d2 get? Can it work with Profoto OCF gear?
Asked by: John
Being that the Profoto D2 has a 300 watt halogen modeling lamp is it not recommended for use with the Profoto OCF series modifiers due to a issue with heat.

I’m currently using a D1/500 with the Air Remote TTL-N. Will the D2 fire wireless in tandem with this set up?
Asked by: William
You have to also connect the D2 Fixture in the same Group, or it's own channel.
