We have not tested the Profoto D2, so we cannot say for sure. Reports are the VMLs will not work, but we have not heard from VLX or VII users. |

The Vagabond Lithium Extreme can power the Profoto D2. I had to update the latest firmware on the D2 for it to work. One thing to note, the D2 will shut off if using HSS above power level 9.2. |

Hi now works all fine. I have updated D2 with new firmware and now there is an option to shoose recycling speed.(profoto says it shall be enable to use(weak external power packs). I can shoose between max speed,50% and 25 % recycling speed on d2. Now I tested 'Vagabond 2 with 25 % receicling speed on profoto d2. It work fine, ttl and hss all works, and hss at 100 % power level no trouble. It take about 1 or 1,5 second to recycling at voll power. now I can drive my two einstein with profoto togeter. I am happy to have a vagabond . thanks . |

Thanks for the feedback. I was unaware of the three options or the firmware update. |
