When firing any battery power solution. It depends at full power, yes, but if you have a 1200ws solution, firing at 500ws is not going to get a recycle time that long. That a solution buy more powerful lights than you need. Profoto needs something akin to the ad1200 pro, or the old Broncolor Move (the new ones are slower)

Great Video!!

[@Neopulse00]

I'm glad they came out with this because not everyone needs 750w at $1,000+ for the D3. This is a great release in my opinion to have the latest tech with savings in mind.

[@johanssonjonathan88]

Same function as an umbrella?

[@UCreations]

I was thinking exactly the same, but 10 times more expensive...

[@WAPhoto]

Zoom rod. Broncolor Para?

[@josephchan4198]

Thanks for the news.

[@PhotoxBen]

The mounting bracket for the D30 looks nice and robust. Is it stronger/easier to tighten than the B10x+? Can the D30 mounting bracket fit on the B10x+?

[@FStoppers]

They appear to be exactly the same to me. The D30 is more robust in the outer shell and that's why it can handle larger modifiers. -P

[@ZenoWatson]

Great versatility

[@emptyandseephotos7858]

Nice new tool

[@jeffrey3205]

From the time you said AC power I was gone.

[@blagovestzaimov3455]

i'm glad that you didn't call that a para alternative. As somebody else said, it's an expensive add-on to replicate silver umbrella results.

[@FStoppers]

What exactly is a para alternative? Do all of these options produce similar looking light?

[@blagovestzaimov3455]

@@FStoppers , parabolic shaped modifier. This in my opinion is absolutely the same as a silver deep umbrella.

[@FStoppers]

The thing is you can use any modifier so if you have a deeper or shallower box, you can get different looks out of those too. -P

[@Charlotte_Photographer]

Could they have picked a name that wasn't something Canon had already used for the name of a camera body....??

[@findyourreason]

No battery! Nothing to see here. I quit running wires in my studio years ago.

[@FStoppers]

This is an update to their system for studio photographers with higher demands that what a battery can provide -P

[@vernonr7404]

@@FStoppers I always buy a replacement battery.

[@christophriess5274]

I think you get it for the recycle time and the recycle time alone. You know when and if you need it. Personally, I don't, so nothing to see for me either, but I know some people who need the recycle time. Good for them, I guess.

[@christophriess5274]

@@vernonr7404 It's not about running out of battery, but rather recycle times.

[@strongopinionsongear]

Some people need/want faster recycling times…

[@borzumo]

you zoom to 200% to easy see the difference...

$2k for a flash you plug in and trip over again.
