Provides AC Power to D2 Monolight

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. This cable would work with the Profoto D1 500 Air?

A: Yes this cable is compatible with the Profoto D1 Air 500.

Q: 3. Can these be used with Pocket Wizards?

A: Yes they can. There is a mini phone plug on the bottom and can be used with any remote trigger or wired. You will lose TTL, HSS and remote control ability by using a Pocket Wizard.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Would this cable work with a Profoto D1 1000w Air Monolight?

A: yes!

Q: 6. Is this the cable that comes standard with the D2?

A: Yes, the Profoto Power Cable for D2 (16', US / No. America) is the original power cable designed for use with both the Profoto D2 500Ws AirTTL Monolight or the Profoto D2 1000Ws AirTTL Monolight.

Q: 7. Hi, I'm not able to upgrade my profoto D2 heads to the A3 firmware. I'm following the instructions on the screen but the click here to start upgrade button is not lighting up. I'm using a mac book pro OS Sierra. What should i do? Thank's

A: I had the same problem at first so I followed Profoto's troubleshooting directions and tried it on a different computer. That worked perfectly.

Q: 8. 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: 9. Can you plug this light right into a wall?

A: Yes, it can be plugged into the wall directly.

Q: 10. Can the Profoto D2 1000 Air TTL be connected to an external power pack, and if so what type?

A: The Profoto D2 1000Ws AirTTL Monolight is designed for AC power usage. If you wish to use the strobe on location, you would need to purchase a power inverter strong enough to handle the above strobe. As a recommendation, I would recommend either the Photogenic Ion Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System, B&H # PHION, which should give you approximately 360 flashes per charge with approximately 7.5 second recycling time, or the Hensel Power Max L Lithium Mobile Power Supply (120VAC), B&H # HEPML120, which should give you approximately 220 flashes on a single charge with the recycling time 50% longer than your current recycling time when plugged into a standard AC household outlet.
