The Profoto D1 500Ws Air is a lightweight professional flash head featuring TTL, a wide 9 f-stop power range in 1 stop increments or 1/10th stop for maximum control, short flash durations and fast recycling and sync speeds. Based on the popular Profoto D1 Air series monoblocs but without the need for mains power chords!

A built-in reflector keeps it portable for transport and the optional TTL Air Remote gives this system amazing ease of use and control over all of your settings from the camera over a 100M range. The standard Profoto AirRemote Transceiver extends the range to 300M.
