Provides AC Power to D2 Monolight

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Would this work on the older Acute2 1200 pack?

A: It works for my 2400 pack and I'm pretty sure its the same connection so it should work fine

Q: 3. Can you plug this light right into a wall?

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

Q: 4. 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: 5. 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.

Q: 6. 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: 7. Would this cable work with a Profoto D1 1000w Air Monolight?

A: yes!

Q: 8. 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: 9. 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: 10. does the head on these zoom? it appears too in the 2 front photos

A: The markings on the side of the body are used when there is a Profoto Zoom 2 Reflector attached to this or when a softbox is attached. The head itself will not zoom in or out from the built in stand bracket.
