Lightning-Fast Performance Meets Professional Reliability
The Profoto D2 500 Air TTL redefines studio monolight performance for professional photographers who demand speed without compromise. When split-second timing separates ordinary shots from extraordinary captures, the D2 500 delivers with a blazing 0.6-second recycle time at full power and freeze mode flash durations as short as 1/63,000 of a second.

Unlike traditional studio monolights that force you to choose between power and speed, the D2 500 eliminates that compromise. Its 500Ws output provides sufficient punch to overpower ambient light in most shooting scenarios, while the 10-stop power range (0.5–500Ws) gives you precise control from intimate close-ups to dramatic full-length portraits.

Wireless TTL Technology That Actually Works
Point-and-shoot simplicity meets professional precision. The built-in AirTTL wireless system communicates seamlessly with your camera through optional Air Remote TTL-C (Canon) or TTL-N (Nikon) transceivers, automatically calculating perfect exposure. When you need fine control, instantly switch to Manual Mode while retaining your TTL settings—a workflow enhancement that saves valuable shooting time during commercial sessions.

The 2.4 GHz wireless system operates reliably up to 330 feet in TTL mode and 1,000 feet in manual triggering, with 8 channels and 6 groups for complex multi-light setups.

Q1: Is the Profoto D2 500 compatible with my Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera?

Yes, the D2 500 works with all Canon EOS cameras including R-series mirrorless models when paired with the Profoto Air Remote TTL-C transceiver. The system supports both TTL automatic exposure and High-Speed Sync up to 1/8,000s shutter speeds. Simply mount the Air Remote TTL-C on your camera's hot shoe and the D2 automatically communicates exposure settings wirelessly.

Q2: What warranty coverage does the Profoto D2 500 include and how do I register?

Profoto provides a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase. Register your D2 500 on MyProfoto within 60 days to receive an additional 1 year of free warranty coverage. You can purchase extended warranty coverage for up to 3 additional years (total 5 years) through your MyProfoto account. Warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship under normal professional use.

Q3: How does the Profoto D2 500 compare to the Godox AD600 Pro for action photography?

While the Godox AD600 Pro offers 600Ws output, the D2 500's superior flash duration (1/63,000s vs 1/10,000s) provides 6x faster action-freezing capability. The D2 also delivers faster recycling (0.6s vs 0.9s at full power) and more precise 1/10 f-stop adjustments compared to Godox's 1/3 stop increments. For sports and splash photography where freezing absolute sharpness matters, the D2's technical specifications provide measurable advantages.

Q4: What maintenance is required to keep the D2 500 performing optimally?

Clean the modeling light reflector and ventilation ports every 3 months using a soft microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol solution. Avoid touching the flash tube with bare hands—oils from skin contact reduce tube lifespan. For high-volume studio applications exceeding 40,000 flashes annually, Profoto recommends installing the optional High Capacity Flashtube to extend operational life. Update firmware periodically via USB connection to maintain compatibility with new camera models.

Q5: Can I use the D2 500 with my existing Bowens-mount softboxes and modifiers?

No, the Profoto D2 500 uses Profoto's proprietary bayonet mount, which is not compatible with Bowens S-mount accessories. However, Profoto offers 120+ professional light shaping tools specifically designed for optimal performance with their monolights. The Profoto modifier ecosystem includes direct-mount softboxes, beauty dishes, and umbrellas engineered for precise light control. This proprietary system ensures consistent color temperature and light quality across all modifiers.
