  • Great lights - terrible service

    Ive written this three times, only for the field to clear itself. I just spent $1500 servicing two of these lights to fix an issue with the modeling lights not turning on. This is nearly the price you can buy two new lights. Ive just received them back with the two modeling lights(brand new) sent back broken. So now the price of fixing these is $1700. You can buy a set of two of these on B&H for $1700. This is soo frusterating from a consumer point of view.

  • Good service. Lack of urgencey

    Repair was made , however we emphasized the urgency for the priority return after repair, but item was shipped economy instead of priority which held up our operation for 3 extra days

  • D2s are great, but not this one. Returned - intermittent firing

    I bought this used from a reliable dealer. Unfortunately, it would not fire each time, and I had to send it back. This is the 2nd D2 I bought from them. My first was purchased used 2 years ago and it's a great light without issues. I really appreciate the 1/8" sync port as a backup option. This was a thoughtless omission by Profoto in the newer B10X Plus units I also own (bought new).

  • Worked once, then never again

    Moonlight only lasted one shoot before it stopped firing. Have reached out for assistance for repair and waiting for response from Profoto for repair, havn’t heard anything back yet

  • Profoto d2 1000

    Very powerful, used in Freeze mode for dance photography// Campaign National Opera and Ballet. I used other brands but Profoto is really the best and the most reliable one!

  • Very Happy That I Made The Move!

    I finally upgraded from the D1 Non Air to the D2 Air after 10 years. My only question is why did I wait so long. These new lights are fantastic. The light is evenly distributed after having shot over a 175 portraits in one shoot coupled with the fact that I no longer need my Pocket Wizards or Light Meter saves me a ton of time. Shooting using TTL makes all the difference. The hefty price tag was well worth the investment giving the results of each image-I couldn’t be happier, Thank you Profoto for increasing my keeper rate and for all the accolades that I am receiving from clients and those who view the finished product. Best Regards, Marty C.

  • Very bad experience with Profoto

    We brought this light for our Premium Fashion Photography Studio. Within 7-8 months the light has started giving troubles. The service centre is asking for tonnes of money to repair. Very arrogant attitude and not at all customer friendly. 3 Lakh Indian Rupees gone down the drain. We have been using Elinchrom lights for 8+ years without any fault or problems. We were planning to buy more Profoto gear but given the current scenario, we are considering switching to Indian and Chinese lighting companies, which are more affordable and customer friendly..

  • D2

    This is as good as the old time Profoto lights but the advantage of TTL technology. The 1000Ws is needed to take the full advantage of High Speed Sync. I Profoto had one 1000Ws battery powered unit too.

  • Speedy delivery

    The product received was in mint condition and shipping is very fast across boarder to Canada

  • Great but not perfect

    A very good lamp, but it has some drawbacks - a weak cooling system. it often overheats when using the modeling light. where other companies can shine even a few hours continuously, profoto fails here

  • The Best Studio Lights!

    The D2 models have always been my go-to for studio photography. They're super fast and are perfect for capturing every moment when doing portraits/ commercial model photography as well as reliable for shooting products and still life. I know it's a heft price, but you truly are paying for what you get with Profoto. I like to call it the Apple of photo equipment. The D2s are a workhorse and they never let you down. Consider it a one-time investment for true peace of mind on important shoot days. Highly recommend these and Profoto accessories.

  • Great quality lights

    Great source of light for stopping action. Bought 2 x 500ws and 1 x 1000ws and so satisfied with them. Great design and construction, easy and intuitive to use, powerful and fast recycle time, incredible quality of the light with Profoto light modifiers. Profoto are the best !

  • Fast & Robust

    Love the D2. Charges super fast for another powerful flash, so you can keep on shooting and catch every movement. The design is robust and clean and the light works perfectly in combination with the various Profoto modifiers.

  • Pro

    Beautiful & durable product design, consistent output, easy to use controls and light modification.. 10/10 would recommend choosing this flash.

  • Best Compact flash I ever used

    Very fast but small and perfectly shaped - for me one of the best professional light tools I ever used.

    November 2023

  • All perfect!

    Amazing quality and design

    November 2023

  • Excellent!

    I am very happy with the D2 . It has all of the speed and power I need in my various assignments as a commercial photographer. The addition of air2 to the latest firmware brings the fixture to the same level of connectivity as the latest lights like my b10x pluses ✅ now using my connect or pro connect I can see and control the power perfectly!

  • Repair

    With the exception of not being able to “SPEAK” with a person/body I would say it was good. Everything was in writing unless they contacted me. The service was done quickly and my product was returned the same way I sent it. Thank you!
