Profoto Pro-D3 1250 Duo Kit

Built for Studios That Never Stop

High-volume content production demands more than standard monolights can deliver. Overheating, inconsistent color, and slow recycle times kill momentum when shooting hundreds of frames daily. The Profoto Pro-D3 1250 Duo Kit eliminates these bottlenecks with industrial-grade components engineered for relentless studio workloads.

Professional Power with Three Operating Modes

This 1250Ws dual-head system delivers an 11 f-stop power range (1.3–1250Ws) adjustable in 0.1 f-stop increments, providing surgical precision for both key lighting and subtle fill work:

• ECO Mode: Optimizes color consistency at 6100K ±100K and maximizes component lifespan for everyday shooting

• BOOST Mode: Adds extra power when ceiling heights or large modifiers demand more output

• FREEZE Mode: Delivers flash durations up to 1/12,800s to eliminate motion blur in action shots and splashing liquids

Recycling time reaches 0.01 seconds, enabling rapid-fire shooting without thermal throttling. The 56W LED modeling light outputs 6,300 lumens—brighter than a 400W halogen bulb while consuming 85% less power and keeping light shapers cool during extended sessions.

Studio Integration and Compatibility

• Wireless Control: Fully compatible with Profoto AirX ecosystem, including Air Remote TTL-C/N

• Mounting Options: Profoto's proprietary bayonet mount accepts RFi softboxes, OCF modifiers, and Clic magnetic accessories

• Traditional Accessories: Umbrella mount included for classic light-shaping workflows

Q: Is the Profoto Pro-D3 1250 compatible with non-Profoto light modifiers?
A: The Pro-D3 1250 uses Profoto's proprietary bayonet mount designed for RFi softboxes, OCF modifiers, and Clic magnetic accessories. While third-party Profoto-compatible modifiers exist, optimal performance and light spread are achieved with genuine Profoto light shapers. The unit includes a standard umbrella mount for universal umbrella compatibility.

Q: What warranty coverage does this Duo Kit include for Indian customers?
A: Profoto products purchased through authorized Indian retailers like Srishti Digilife typically include manufacturer warranty coverage. Contact the seller directly before purchase to confirm warranty duration, service center locations in India, and coverage for both units in the Duo Kit configuration.

Q: How does the Pro-D3 1250 compare to Godox studio monolights for high-volume work?
A: The Pro-D3 1250 uses industrial-grade capacitors rated for 100,000+ flashes compared to standard consumer capacitors in Godox units. Key differences include color consistency within ±100K across the power range (vs ±200K for Godox), 0.01s minimum recycle time, and thermal management that prevents overheating during extended rapid-fire sequences. Godox offers excellent value for occasional use, but the Pro-D3 justifies higher investment for daily commercial production environments.

Q: Does the LED modeling light require separate cooling or maintenance?
A: The 56W LED modeling light operates without additional cooling fans, reducing noise during video capture and client presentations. Unlike halogen modeling lights that generate excessive heat and degrade after 50-100 hours, the LED system maintains stable 5,600K color temperature and extends light shaper lifespan by eliminating heat-related wear on fabrics and coatings.

Q: Can I use ECO mode for all shooting or will I need BOOST mode regularly?
A: ECO mode handles 90% of typical studio scenarios, including full-length portraits with standard softboxes and product photography setups. BOOST mode becomes essential when pushing light through multiple diffusion layers (large scrims, double-diffused octaboxes), shooting in spaces with high ceilings requiring bounced light, or matching daylight intensity for window-lit scenes. FREEZE mode serves specialized action work rather than general photography.
