The Profoto D4 is a culmination of over a decade of research, planning, and development, offering photographers a complete professional lighting system capable of results no other flash system can offer. The perfect blend of tradition with modern technology and microelectronics, this hybrid solution offers features and advantages that all professionals can benefit from.

The unique in ergonomic design combines the positive feel of mechanical knobs and switches with the precision of electronic technologies. This combination allows for precise control in 1/10 f-stop increments, all with digital-controlled output, insuring that flash and color temperature remain consistent every time over an 8 f/stop range.

Four independent outlets provide true asymmetric operation with the turn of a dial. The Profoto D4 gives photographers the ability to adjust the light from the control panel, without the need for unplugging and replugging lamp heads. All this control while accepting a complete array of Profoto heads and accessories.

Auxiliary functions such as sequence, delay, and intervalometer make difficult shooting situations simple. With these features, photographers can select the number of flashes, and the amount of time between each flash as well as an initial delay all from the generator in a simple, easy way.

The Profoto D4 is supplied with computer software to provide full functionality of up to 127 generators from a single computer via USB connections. So whether shooting film or digital, the entire production can be orchestrated from one place. Adjusting power, modeling light, as well as the auxiliary functions can be completed with the click of a mouse. Individual lamp heads can be turned on/off right from the computer screen. Control has never been simpler.
