Profoto compact flashes result in precisely exposed images. They lead to unlimited freedom in dealing with the light by changing the position and adjusting the strength, the radiation characteristics, the light color or color temperature and the number of flashes.
Benefits of Profoto compact flashes
The Profoto compact flashes combine the electronics, the controls and the flash tube in one housing. This distinguishes them from the combination of flash generator and flash head. They are excellently suited for portrait studios or the photography of smaller products. In combination with a light shaper, Profoto compact flashes are considered unbeatable. Main advantages are:
high performances
large control range
short recharging time even at full load
excellent burn-off time (light duration of the flash light)
highest repeatability
freely adjustable intensity of the modeling light
A popular representative of the Profoto compact flashes is the D2, which we would like to introduce in more detail.
Profoto D2
With this model, the manufacturer Profoto shows what is already possible with compact flashes today. The D2 impresses with flash durations of up to 1/63,000 s and flash sequences of up to 20 p/s (pictures per second). Shutter speeds can be up to 1/8,000s. Its ultra-short flash times make it possible to "freeze" a splash of water in flight: create a photographic work of art with this Profoto compact flash. The extremely high repetition rate of a maximum of 20 flashes per second captures the best moment of a movement. For example, you could ask your model to jump up. Then press the shutter button and then select the most beautiful of 20 shots in the jump. The ultra-fast shutter speeds let you master any ambient light. Profoto calls the feature HSS (High Speed Sync). With HSS you can shoot with an open aperture even in broad daylight: the Profoto D2 results in razor-sharp images, even of fast movements. Its TTL mode gives you the choice: either simply press the trigger or set the power yourself in manual mode. The intuitive operation makes it child's play. This allows you to fully concentrate on the lighting design. With its power, the D2 also asserts itself against any ambient light. This helps you when shooting distant subjects and also when using large light shapers. You get more freedom with the incredible speed of the D2, which is fully integrated into the Profoto system.
