Product Description

Introducing the Profoto D30 500Ws Monolight—a powerful 500Ws studio light engineered to enhance your creativity with the professional-grade reliability you expect from Profoto. Ideal for studio photographers, the D30 boasts precision performance, a replaceable flashtube, and a fully adjustable bi-color LED modeling light. Similar to the high-end Pro-D3, it offers three versatile modes: Eco, Boost, and Freeze. With a flash duration as short as 1/21,100 sec in Freeze mode, it can freeze any action, while recycling times as low as 0.01 sec ensure seamless shooting without misfires. The 11-stop power range, adjustable in 0.1 f-stop increments, ensures consistent lighting. The D30 supports Profoto Air functions, including sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control, all accessible via its clear, user-friendly local display. Designed with AC power multi-voltage compatibility, the D30 is ready for use anywhere in the world.

Perfect for Studio Photographers
Built with studio professionals in mind, the D30 delivers powerful output, TTL compatibility, built-in AirX connectivity, HSS, and a bright bi-color LED modeling light. Its flexibility shines through in its compatibility with Profoto's extensive range of light-shaping tools and its seamless integration with the Profoto Camera and Profoto Control apps.

Fast Recycling, Flash Duration & HSS
The D30’s rapid recycling and ultra-short flash durations of up to 1/21,100 sec in Freeze mode capture even the fastest action with precision, making it perfect for dynamic photography such as dance, sports, or fashion. HSS enables shooting with wide apertures in bright conditions or freezing action with sharp clarity.

Three Flash Modes: Eco, Boost & Freeze
The D30 typically runs in Eco mode, optimizing color accuracy and prolonging the light's lifespan. For situations demanding extra power, Boost mode delivers the necessary output. Freeze mode provides ultra-fast flash durations, ideal for freezing liquids or capturing creative motion effects.

User-Friendly Controls
The D30 features intuitive, highly visible controls with an easy-to-read display, making adjustments straightforward during shoots.

Profoto Air & Bluetooth Connectivity
Fully compatible with Profoto Air functions, the D30 supports sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control when paired with the brand’s Air 1 or Air 2 remotes. It also includes Bluetooth connectivity for full control via the Profoto Camera and Profoto Control apps.

Versatile Bi-Color LED Modeling Light
The D30 includes a 35W bi-color LED modeling light with an adjustable color temperature range from 2800K to 7000K. With an output of up to 1500 lux at 3.3', the light offers flexibility for various lighting conditions, and brightness can be adjusted from 100% to 10%.

Global AC Power Support
With multi-voltage support (100-240 VAC), the D30 is ready for international use.

Extensive Compatibility
The D30 is compatible with over 120 Profoto modifiers, thanks to its 100mm front mount. It also includes a stand adapter with an integrated umbrella slot, expanding your creative lighting options.

Additional Features
- 66° beam angle and 111° field angle
- 3.5mm sync socket for external flash triggering
- USB-C service port
- User-replaceable flashtube for added convenience

I cannot say enough good things about Pixel Connection. I've bought multiple camera bodies - new and used - from them, along with several lenses, and they simply cannot be beat. Super helpful on the phone, good prices, and willing to work with customers to make the right solution happen. Pixel Connection is where I look first when buying camera equipment.

I am a cosmetic dentist so my photography is very important to me. I needed my camera set up for ease of use and custom settings. Jesse and Sam are so knowledgeable. Those two men helped me quickly and the Pixel store is open until 7 pm so I was able to get this done before my next working day! I also noticed Pixel has everything one needs for cameras, video and audio, social media, drones and even film! Check this store out for yourself for quality service and products!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My latest experience with ThePixelConnection was absolutely phenomenal. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to ensure I got the camera I needed, even when it seemed impossible. The item I needed was out of stock everywhere else, but they didn’t stop there—they took the extra step to contact the manufacturer directly and managed to secure a new unit straight from the factory. Thanks to their incredible effort, I received my camera just in time for an important event. What truly sets ThePixelConnection apart is the personal touch they bring to every interaction. Unlike my experiences with B&H—which, while efficient and resourceful, often feel very clinical and transactional—ThePixelConnection makes you feel like a genuinely valued customer. I’ve worked with B&H for years and spent a small fortune with them, but if ThePixelConnection has what I need, they’re always my first choice. Their team is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for. Matt, in particular, is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in photography and their product lineup. His guidance and dedication made the entire process effortless and stress-free. If you’re looking for exceptional service from a team that truly values its customers, look no further than ThePixelConnection. They’ve earned my loyalty, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

“I have pre-ordered two cameras with Pixel Connection and both times have been wonderful experiences. Staff have been kind and helpful both times. They provided updates weekly and even provided me an option to purchase a different color camera when it became available before my pre-ordered color. They were also prompt with their shipping once payment was completed!”
