Built for Relentless Production Demands
Commercial photographers and high-volume studios face a recurring challenge: maintaining color consistency and flash reliability across marathon shooting days spanning weeks or months. The Profoto Pro-D3 1250 solves this with industrial-grade components engineered specifically for continuous, demanding production environments where equipment failure isn’t an option.
Precision Flash Modes for Every Scenario
This 1250Ws monolight delivers three purpose-built flash modes to match your shooting requirements:
-
ECO Mode: Optimizes color consistency and extends capacitor lifespan for daily studio work
-
Boost Mode: Provides additional output power when overpowering ambient light or using large modifiers
-
Freeze Mode: Delivers flash durations up to 1/75,000s, eliminating motion blur for splash photography, product drops, and fast-action commercial work
