Your Go-To Monolight
Profoto's 2-light D30 Duo Kit features powerful 500Ws studio-grade monolights for photographers needing professional, reliable, and stunning light quality. This Duo kit includes two OCF stand adapters, C13 power cables, protection caps, and one Core Backpack II for easy transport. The D30 suits a variety of photographic requirements by offering enough power, speed, and compatibility with an extensive line of renowned Profoto light-shaping tools. Always convenient, the D30 comes with a replaceable flashtube and the addition of a fully adjustable bi-color LED modeling light. Similarly to the high-end Pro-D3, the D30 also features three distinct Eco, Boost, and Freeze flash modes for different performance options. Compact, lightweight, and extremely portable and sturdy, the Profoto D30 is the ideal light you can take just about anywhere you can plug it in.
Always Get the Shot
The flash duration of 1/ 21,100 sec in Freeze mode is capable of stopping any action, and Profoto has you covered with recycling times of 0.01 sec with no misfires. 11 stops of power range breaks down to 0.1 f-stop increments providing flexibility and consistency at all times. The D30 supports Profoto Air functions, sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control. Users can also manage the strobe settings with the elegant, highly visible local display.
In the Studio or On Location
Profoto aims to satisfy photographers working with professional strobe lighting in small- or medium-sized studios. Not limited to studio use, the D30 can also be used on location as long as you can plug it in. Adaptable to every situation, the D30 is the lighting answer whether you're working with portrait, fashion, or product photography.
Recycling, Flash Duration & HSS
Rapid recycling ensures that fleeting gestures and defining moments are caught, not lost. This monolight can provide super quick flash durations of up to 1/21,100 seconds in Freeze mode to provide crisp, action-stopping images. This is especially valuable for dance, sports, or fashion work. In addition, HSS is ideal to shoot with a wide aperture in bright conditions or to freeze action with absolute sharpness.
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 your light 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.
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. The D30 intuitive operation is backed by impressive specs, such as powerful output, TTL compatibility, built-in AirX connectivity, HSS, and now a bright bi-color LED modeling light.
Bi-Color LED Modeling Light
A convenient 35W LED modeling light can match any lighting environment with a variable 2800-7000K CCT. The bare light outputs up to 1500 lux at 3.3' with a beam angle of 63° and field angle of 105°. The LED modeling light reaches 3800 lumens, allowing brightness adjustments from 100 to 10%, and is 94 CRI color accurate.
Profoto Air Functionality
The D30 fully supports Profoto Air functions. Choose from sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control with the brand's separately available Air 1 and Air 2 remotes. The D30 also offers Bluetooth connectivity for full compatibility with the brand's Profoto Camera and Profoto Control apps.

Its 100mm front mount is compatible with over 120 optional modifiers, expanding your light-shaping possibilities. Thanks to its sturdy construction, even the Profoto largest modifiers can be used. Furthermore, the included stand adapter features a built-in umbrella slot.
AC Power
The D30 works with AC power sources from 100-240 VAC. The multi-voltage circuitry allows you to take the D30 anywhere in the world. Keep it up and running without worrying about battery power. The D30 lets you start shooting immediately.
