Compact Mains-Powered Monolight

The Profoto D30 is a 500W bi-color monolight designed for professional photographers who need studio-grade flash in a portable, mains-powered package. It suits product, fashion and portrait work where consistent colour and flexible output are essential.

Sustained Output and Recycle Behaviour

The fan-cooled system supports extended sessions without thermal throttling, while recycle times span .01 to .9 seconds across the power range. Three flash modes — Eco, Boost and Freeze — let the user prioritise colour stability, maximum power or the shortest flash duration for motion-freezing.

AirX Connectivity and Control Limits

Wireless AirX control works directly from a camera remote or the Profoto apps, removing the need for extra triggers. The 10-stop power range adjusts in .1 f-stop steps, and the bi-color modelling light holds 6000K ±100K in Eco and Boost modes, defining the practical boundaries of wireless and colour management.
