Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this light be controlled from the desktop App when using the Connect Pro remote?

A: The ConnectPro allows for viewing the settings on an iPad, iPhone or Android device.

Q: 2. What portable battery can I use. I shoot mostly on location

A: I used the MiniVagabond, it worked fine but there are limitations if you want to use HSS. Will require you to shoot in low power mode which results in a slower power recycle.

Q: 3. Is the power cable permanently attached to the light or is it exchangeable ? I am back and forth between the US and Europe and would like to be able to use the lights by switching out the cables when traveling back and forth.

A: Hi Darnell, the cable is changable and not afixed to the lights. We use them all over the world and have different cables for different regions. They're great lights!

Q: 4. I saw the profoto d2 custom picture . Is the handle broken ?

A: No. That is the design on the unique strobe unit.

Q: 5. I want to purchase a spare modeling light bulb (not strobe tube) for the Profoto D2 1000 AirTTL Monolight. What exact bulb does this monolight require? Perhaps someone can send me a link to purchase the bulb? Thanks friends!- Chris

A: The Eiko DRA Lamp (300W/120V), B&H # EI64514, or the Hensel Modeling Lamp for Integra Monolights - 300 Watts/120 Volts, B&H # HEMLI, would work as a modeling lamp for use in the Profoto D2 1000Ws AirTTL Monolight.

Q: 6. Does your D2 fan runs in standby mode? Also I hear a rattle inside the unit

A: Yes, the fan in my D2 runs as long as the unit is plugged in. A firmware update for the D2 improved a color temp mismatch between it and my D4 powerpack/Acute head system and I hoped it would also stop the fan after the D2 had cooled, but no. I've gotten used to unplugging the D2 when I feel it has cooled off. A pain definitely but not that big a deal, for me at least, the fan is noisy enough that I haven't yet forgotten to unplug it.

Q: 7. Will this come with a case for the light? It says bag but is it the zipper padded case?

A: The D2 1000Ws AirTTL would include the Profoto Bag XS, which is a zippered and padded case.

Q: 8. Would this fit the older AcuteB2 pack with head? And if so, would it fit 2 sets?

A: The Profoto Bag S Plus for D2 Monolight is not designed for usage with the Profoto Acute B2. It was designed to hold three (3) Profoto D2 monolight strobes, which have the power pack and strobe head self-contained in one single fixture. However, as the dimensions of the Profoto D2 Monolight are 12.2 x 5.1 x 7.1 (31 x 13 x 18 cm), while the dimensions of the Profoto Acute B2 are 7.5 x 5.3 x 7.9 (19 x 13.5 x 20 cm), the smaller power pack should be able to fit in the monolight case, though the configuration of the case is designed for the monolight. As this is a special order item that is not in our inventory and not on display in our NYC Superstore (and as the Acute B2 is no longer available), we cannot state how many units may be held with any certainty; I can only estimate possibly holding two power packs and 1-2 strobes. The best I can recommend would be to purchase the unit, and if it does not work for your usage needs, contact Customer Service to inquire about returning the unit for an exchange or refund.

Q: 9. What is the most common way to power these on location?

A: A good way to power these monolights on location when an AC outlet is not available is with the use of the Profoto Batpac, B&H # PRBPP. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 10. I assume this will respond to the Profoto Connect Pro remote?-- not just the one listed as "essential" here

A: Yes the Profoto Connect Remote can fire this Profoto D2 1000 Air Monolight.
