There’s something about soft natural light that just can transform ordinary moments into just pure magic. Nature herself masters this effortlessly, but what if you could harness the magic of soft light yourself? For moments on location when nature needs a little nurturing or in-studio when you need to channel your own mastery, it’s comforting to know you have a versatile monolight option.
For both those moments, Profoto introduces the D30 and it delivers above and beyond. AC-powered, the Profoto D30 is a compact lightweight monolight delivering excellent flash consistency and its bi-color LED modeling light makes it incredibly versatile. In low-light situations or where a touch of light is needed, the energy-efficient D30 is remarkably bright and can be used as a continuous light. Its adjustable colour temperature and video-quality colour rendering makes it adaptable to the surrounding light.
From product, fashion, and portraiture, the D30 is a reliable monolight capable of handling it all. With a flash range of 11 f-stops, the D30 is an extremely adaptable light, fit for every situation, whether as a main light or to simply highlight a sliver of an object. Also, with an easy-setup and intuitive interface, you can start shooting immediately. The AirX connectivity allows you to have full control directly from the remote on the camera or from the Profoto apps.
Furthermore, there are three different flash modes to choose from; ECO for color consistency and increased equipment lifetime, Boost for a little extra power, and Freeze for the shortest flash duration and elimination of motion blur.
The D30 is also compatible with the wide range of Profoto 100 mm light modifiers, including larger and heavier LSTs such as the RFi 4x6’ softboxes. And thanks to its sturdy construction, even the largest light modifier can be used.
