Product Description
-------------------
The Profoto D1 Air 500 w/s Monolight is a significant refinement
of the ComPact monolight series from the company which having
become synonymous with professional strobe lighting, is now
celebrating its 40th anniversary. This D1 Air 500 w/s 2-Light
Studio Kit includes 2 D1 Air 500 monolights, 2-D1 Small White
Umbrellas, 2-D1 Light Stands, 1-D1 Studio Kit Case and a Profoto
Air Remote. No stone has been left unturned in the provision of
tech and convenience features that seem to derive from
professional photographers feet wish lists. The sleek
matte-black, high-impact polycarbonate finish encases strobe
design that goes beyond the highly visible LED readout and is
digital from the ground up. The 7 stop power range breaks down to
1/10 stop increments providing flexibility, precision and
consistency, made possible by dual mode SMPS capacitor charging.
A new built-in 77 degree reflector (5.12" diameter) maximizes
case space and is ideal for umbrella and softbox use. Features
that we feetve come to expect from Profoto over the years: short
flash duration, rapid recycling, a bright 300W modeling lamp and
heavy-duty cabling are all on-board. New Profoto Air System
technology replaces the sync cord, allowing the head to be
remotely triggered from as much as 300 meters (1000 feet) away
using a Profoto Air Remote (included with kit) or Air Sync
transceiver (sold separately). The Air Sync provides wireless
triggering (8 channels) via hot shoe or mini plug, while the Air
Remote provides wireless triggering as well as full-function head
control over 8 channels in 6 distinct groups. Additionally, the
D1 Air feets syncing and complete functionality can be wirelessly
controlled via your PC or Mac by using Profoto feets Air USB and
Studio Air systems. Modeling lamp operation is user-selectable:
On/Off/Proportional and Free (manual).
