Product Description
Exceptional frequency, speed, and reliability come together as Profoto introduces the Pro-D3 1250Ws Monolight – a powerhouse monolight with polished features and advanced technology. Developed for high-volume image creation, the Pro-D3 recycles in an impressive 0.01-0.8 sec, along with a Freeze Mode flash duration of 1/62,000 sec to stop any action. Compelling features include three distinct Eco, Boost, and Freeze flash modes for different performance options. The purpose of the all-new Eco mode is to optimize the Pro-D3's parameters for color consistency and extended lifetime.
Professional photographers will also appreciate a powerful output, TTL compatibility, HSS, and 11 stops of power variation. The Pro-D3 has a conveniently brighter LED modeling light, adjustable as well. Uncomplicated and effortless, Profoto's latest intuitive user interface and AirX connectivity will take your creative workflow to the next level. From power and speed to consistent and reliable operation, the Pro-D3 is designed to suit any project, even the most challenging ones.
Profoto Reaches New Heights
Carefully engineered as a heavy-duty industrial-grade tool, the Pro-D3's properties were completely thought out from the ground up. Profoto took a step forward by meticulously developing every component of the flash to drastically elevate its performance. By improving the Pro-D3's capacitors and reinforcing its flash tube, it offers a 2.5 longer runtime, a higher number of total flashes, and a prolonged lifespan.
Made for High-Volume Shoots
The Pro-D3 1250Ws is a studio workhorse with an impressive 11 f-stop flash power adjustment range and 0.1 f-stop precision. Profoto has aimed to satisfy the most demanding shooting circumstances, which are often found in e-commerce studios handling high-volume imaging workloads. In other words, the Pro-D3 gives you the ability to shoot at a pace that suits your photographic requirements. The Pro-D3 is alternatively valuable for rental houses if you consider that Profoto is the lighting brand that you'll find in almost every professional photo studio.
Eco, Boost & Freeze Modes
The flash head normally runs in Eco mode to prioritize color fidelity and maximize its lifetime. If you're dealing with situations where an extra punch is needed, a Boost mode is available to get you exactly where you need. Last but not least, a Freeze mode offers motion-stopping flash durations to capture liquid sprays and splashes and to achieve other creative effects.
Always Ready for Action
This monolight can provide super quick flash durations of up to 1/62,000 seconds in Freeze mode. Shoot a splash of liquid, and it will be frozen in midair.
- Eco mode: 1/1400 sec - 1/5000 sec
- Boost mode: 1/1400 sec - 1/5000 sec
- Freeze mode: 1/1400 sec - 1/62,000 sec
Intuitive Onboard Controls
All of the reliable and convenient features we've come to expect from Profoto are onboard. Elegant, highly visible controls are combined with a clear screen display to facilitate local adjustments.
Profoto Air Functionality
The Pro-D3 fully supports Profoto Air functions, such as sync, TTL, HSS, and remote control with the brand's separately purchased Air 1 and Air 2 remotes. High-Speed Sync (HSS) is ideal to shoot with a wide aperture in bright conditions or to freeze action with absolute sharpness.
LED Modeling Light
A bright 56W COB LED modeling light with a 400W halogen-equivalent output draws very little power and generates minimal heat. Beyond saving energy costs, the 5600K CCT continuous light outputs up to 2380 lux at 3.3' to let you previsualize your final shot. 92 CRI color accurate, the LED modeling light reaches 6300 lumens, allowing brightness adjustments from 100 to 1%. The modeling lamp can also be set to proportional mode so its intensity is automatically adjusted to be proportional to the flash power setting.
Widely Compatible
The Pro-D3 comes with an integrated reflector and a glass diffuser plate that flatters the light output of the monolight. Its 100mm front mount is compatible with over 120 optional Profoto modifiers, expanding your light-shaping possibilities. Furthermore, the flash's stand adapter features a built-in umbrella slot.
Additional Benefits
- 3.5mm sync socket for external triggering of the flash
- The flash head has a USB-C connection for firmware updates
- User-replaceable upgraded flash tube

Ordered a lens on Friday. Item was delivered to me on Monday. Arrived in excellent condition in perfect working order. Not only did I pay a very reasonable price, but the shipping was free ! I will definitely do business with Pixel Connection again should the need arise !
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!

“Quick and easy and with the option for in-store pickup.”
March 18, 2025 by Yin (Virginia, US)
“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!”
