\nProfoto Debuts New D1 Monolight System<\/b>
\n
\nElmsford, NY \u2013 February 16, 2009 \u2013 Ask any professional photographer why they use Profoto strobes and the answers are identical: consistency, consistency and more consistency. And, oh yes, Profoto\u2019s are the most durable and trouble free units on the market. So it\u2019s not surprising that the company\u2019s new D1 line of digital compact electronic flashes are the same. What makes them so consistent is the microprocessor controlled, dual mode SMPS capacitor charging system. Consistency is important for two reasons: precise exposure from flash-to-flash and precise color temperature. These are important qualities for portrait and studio photographers who want an easy-to-pack, rugged, monolight design. The new Profoto D1 monolight system, available in 250, 500 or 1000 watt-second versions, can be adjusted from full to 1\/64th power in 1\/10th stop intervals. This gives you a range of seven f\/stops in precise, repeatable and consistent output.
\n
\nThe D1\u2019s have other important qualities: quick recycling time (0,1- 0,8 second), short flash duration (1\/100th \u2013 1\/2600th sec), compact size (11.8\u201d x 5.1\u201d) and weight designed for portability (5.3 lbs); this for the 500 watt-second version. The head and built-in zoom reflector are the same size as other Profoto strobes, so the full line of light modifiers, such as beauty dishes, snoots or grids, can be used. There is a built-in fan cooling system, an audible affirmation (that can be turned off) and a photocell for triggering.

\nThe D1\u2019s come with a 300-watt quartz-halogen proportional modeling light, covered by protective glass. The unit can be used with any worldwide voltage, from 90-130 and 200-240 volts without having to change the modeling light. They are also available with the optional Profoto Air System, allowing remote triggering and control of output from as far as 300m away. You can also use a PC or MAC to control lights in a multi-light setup.

\nFor 40 years Profoto has set the standard in professional electronic flashes. The new D1 line is keeping with that reputation.
