Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Profoto D2 1000/1000 AirTTL Kit?
The kit includes two Profoto D2 1000 AirTTL monolight flash heads. Light modifiers, stands, and Air remotes are typically sold separately.
What does AirTTL mean on the Profoto D2?
AirTTL enables through-the-lens automatic exposure metering when paired with a compatible Profoto Air Remote TTL trigger, letting the flash calculate correct output for each shot without manual power adjustments.
