I already reported that Profoto will announce a new flash on May 7th – the new Profoto Pro-D3 is now available for pre-order at:
“The Pro-D3 comes in 750Ws and 1250Ws versions, each with an 11-stop range with 0.1 stop increments. The light is AC powered only and will provide very fast recycle times from 0.1-1 sec for 750Ws and 0.1-1.5 sec for 1250Ws, depending on your power source. Eco, Boost, and Freeze modes can be selected to ensure maximum longevity, maximum power, and faster flash durations. Selection of each depends on the use case. Eco is your standard mode that prioritizes longevity along with color consistency. Boost adds power and Freeze speeds up the flash duration though at some expense to color consistency.” (Explora)
