Profoto D2

Yes, you get the new Bag S Plus, a sturdy premium bag. The Bag S Plus can also fit D1/D2/B1 units with the optional glass dome.

The D2 offers great flash duration over the full energy range, and the average flash duration is more than ten times faster than the D1 offers. This adds extra sharpness to most images, even if the movement isn’t super fast. This is especially great for high resolution cameras such as the Nikon D810, Canon 5DS, Sony A7R II and medium format cameras.

You have full control of the ambient light if you, for example, shoot close to windows. With HSS you can kill all ambient light and be in full control with the lighting. There is no need to use ND filters on the camera to control the ambient lighting. If you shoot some type of action in mixed light it is great to use HSS to freeze the movement. Using a regular flash may frequently result in motion blur since the sync is normally not faster than 1/250s.

You can reduce recycling speed of the D2 in the special settings menu to eliminate the problem with the fuses.

Yes, select the special setting menu by pressing the settings button for 3 seconds to display a setting for display orientation.

Both the D1 and the D2 are multi-voltage. That means you can use them anywhere around the globe. Just plug and play!

If you’re shooting mainly in studio a 500Ws version is great for most shoots, it's an excellent all-round option and a popular choice. The 1000Ws is great for shooting on location outside and when you need enough power to light a bigger area.

Yes, the D2 is designed for heavy-duty shooting. Just make sure to update to the high volume quartz flash tube. This flashtube can handle heat more efficiently, which is important when you shoot hard all day long.

It depends on what you shoot and also on your future ambitions.
If you shoot fast-moving subjects and need to freeze that movement you should have the D2. It has extremely fast flash duration for freezing action in low light situations and HSS to freeze in bright conditions.
If you shoot in mixed light situations or if you go to places where you can’t control the ambient light you should have the D2 since it offers HSS with full control of ambient light
If you need to get that perfect moment that is only available in a fraction of a second, you should get the D2 since you can shoot up to 20 flashes per second.
If you need very little power (e.g. shooting close to subject, large aperture, high ISO, etc.) the D2 is a better choice since it has a very wide 10 f-stop energy range. With the D2 500 you can go down as low as 1ws!
The D2 has a new and improved cooling fan which is more silent than the D1’s.
If you shoot fast-moving subjects and need to freeze that movement you should have the D2. It has extremely fast flash duration for freezing action in low light situations and HSS to freeze in bright conditions.
If you mainly shoot portraits or still images in a controlled studio environment and don't have any other ambitions, then the D1 could be the choice for you.

Yes, you can use the TTL remote but not in TTL or HSS mode.
