Congratulations on your new 

Profoto product! 

Regardless if you chose a new flash or a new light-shaping tool, 
know that almost half a century’s worth of experience was put 
into its making.

If the years have taught us one thing, it is to never neglect a 
single detail. We only put our name on a product in which we 
have the fullest confidence. Before shipping, every one of our 
products pass an extensive and strict testing program. Unless 
it complies with the specified performance, quality and safety, 
it is a no-go. 

As a result, we are confident that your new Profoto product will 
stay with you for years and help you grow as a photographer.

But getting the product is only the beginning of that journey. 
Using it for light shaping is the real adventure. That is why we 
take pride in providing you with such a wide assortment of light-
shaping tools, allowing you to shape the light in any way you 
can imagine. 

The almost infinite possibilities might seem bewildering at first, 
but we’re certain you will soon get the hang of it.

Still, I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter at www.
profoto.com/newsletter or visit our blog at www.profoto.com/
blog so that we can share our experience from almost 50 years 
of light shaping and hopefully inspire you to grow even further.

 Enjoy your Profoto product!

Conny Dufgran, founder
