Profoto 40th Anniversary Promotion Apr 01 - June 30, 2009

Needless to say I was happy I stumbled across this today, not knowing that this was available last night when I purchased the AcuteB 600R. Looks like I will be able to get a few more goodies. I'm glad I waited to get it to because this runs from April 1 - June 30, 2009. I neary bought it a couple weeks ago. Finally it worked out.

Jeff,

is it worth the money to get D4 instead of Acute2R?

btw, the way they give out free is weird. For example, if i buy the Profoto Acute2R 1200 Pro Value Pack ($4000) then i can get $1,000 in Free Accessories while i can buy it as:

1. Acute2/D4 Head ($915) then i can get $1,000 in Free Accessories = another Acute2/D4 Head (do this twice then i will have 4 Acute2/D4 Head
2. Buy a D4 Generators, get another $1000 Free Accessories.

Now the question is, will they honor if i send in 3 or 4 different receipts?

It doesn't say how that works, so it's possible.

If I had double the funds available, I would have considered the D4. But I don't, so AcuteB it is Unless you want to gift one to me

Rereading your post - You have to buy "Acute2/2R ProValue Pack or Acute2/2R pack with 2 Heads" to get the $1000 in free stuff. You are unable to buy just the heads.

The D4 Generator gives you $2000 in free stuff - not too shabby.

I just wish I had an extra $3k. I spent nearly that for what I got - AcuteB 600R, 3' octabox, an extra battery for the 600R and an extension cord for my Acute head (mainly for my bg light in studio because I need more reach at times).

The D4 is a monster and would be lovely to have, but I think the AcuteB will suit me fine.

Even of buying the D4 Generator, you will be able to get 2 free head. Still a good deal.
