System description

Profoto's 40 years of experience in developing state-of-the-art flash units is built into the
design of the D1 units. The D1 family fully complies with the demand for durable, tough,
fast and consistent flash units that professional photographers of today require.
The D1 unit is available in 250, 500 and 1000 Ws versions, all with integrated Profoto
Air functionality. The 250 and 500 Ws versions are also available without Profoto Air. The
unit is fully digital, to ensure a consistency in flash-to-flash color temperature and flash
energy. The dual mode SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) charging technology ensures
the flash-to-flash precision. The 7 f-stop power range gives all the power the demanding
6
photographer needs for creative freedom, to shoot with high speed and full open lens.
The built-in reflector gives you full control, minimal stray light and maximal light output.
It is designed for use with soft boxes and umbrellas and for use with or without additional
reflectors.
Short flash duration gives images a crisp feel and the fast recycling time means that you
never have to wait for the flash. You will always get the image quality you want. All this in
a package that offers 1/10 f-stop control, giving you the confidence that the images will
be exactly as you want them.
As a professional photographer, you have your own special style and needs. Profoto's
extensive Light Shaping Tools system fits perfectly with the D1, enabling you to shape the
light your own way.
