Profoto D30 Monolight replaces the D2

Meet the Next Generation: Profoto D30 AirX Monolight Now Available

The industry-standard Profoto D2 Monolight has long been a go-to for photographers who demand reliability, speed, and consistent light output. But as technology evolves, so does the gear—and Profoto has officially raised the bar with the new Profoto D30 AirX Monolight.

The D30 is designed to replace the D2, bringing a modern workflow, improved versatility, and next-generation connectivity to both studio and on-location shooters.

What’s New with the Profoto D30?

At its core, the D30 delivers 500Ws of power with an impressive 11-stop range, giving photographers precise control across a wide variety of lighting scenarios. It’s also built for speed, with recycle times as fast as 0.01 seconds and a Freeze mode capable of flash durations up to 1/21,100 sec—perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects with razor-sharp detail.

One of the standout upgrades is the built-in AirX connectivity, allowing seamless control via remote triggers or mobile apps. This makes adjusting power, grouping lights, and fine-tuning setups faster and more intuitive than ever.

The D30 also features a bi-color LED modeling light (2800K–7000K) with high color accuracy, making it a powerful hybrid tool for both still photography and video work.

Add in its compact, lightweight design and multiple flash modes—Eco, Boost, and Freeze—and you’ve got a monolight built to handle everything from portraits to high-speed commercial shoots.
