Why buy Profoto from Specular?
The Pro-D3 is an industrial-grade powerhouse of a monolight, designed to work relentlessly in the most demanding high-volume production environments.
With a flash capacity of 750/1250 Ws and a recycling time as short as 0,01 sec, the Pro-D3 delivers frequency at speed for hours on end, making it optimal for high-volume shoots. At the same time, the three flash parameters resemble the flexibility of creative choice: for increased equipment lifetime and colour consistency, run it in default flash mode (ECO); when in need of a little more power, toggle to Boost mode; to eliminate motion blur, thrive off the shortest flash duration to this day in Freeze mode.
The Pro-D3 also features a very power-efficient LED-modeling light. It shines brighter than a 400-watt halogen lamp with only 15% of the power consumption. Beyond saving energy costs, this keeps light shapers cool and extends their lifetime. Additionally, the modelling light has a fixed daylight-balanced colour temperature and spreads light like a flash, which gives an authentic representation of the light in the final shot.
Choose between full flash power or accent light; the 11 f-stop range, fine-tuned with 0.1 f-stop precision, provides nuances. For seamless synchronisation between devices, the Pro-D3 is equipped with Profoto’s latest user interface and AirX technology, which gives way to a hassle-free workflow.
The Pro-D3 introduces three distinct flash modes to ensure unmatched lifetime economy as well as providing options for specific use cases. In default ECO mode, flash parameters are optimized for color consistency and maximized equipment lifetime. BOOST adds an extra boost of power, while FREEZE delivers the shortest flash duration for razor-sharp splashing liquid and fast action shots.
The Pro-D3 is designed to be a relentless work horse, equipped with high-grade components through and through. With an impressive 11 f-stop flash power adjustment range and 0.1 f-stop precision, the Pro-D3 ensures unparalleled versatility, catering to the power-intensive and durability needs of high-volume shooting.
