Remember the Essentials
Batteries are required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase batteries for this item.
Fantasea's Nano Double Ray Underwater Lighting Set is an underwater lighting kit designed to give you the best possible photos from your compact digital camera and is compatible with any compact digital housing, including Fantasea, Canon, Fujifilm, Sony, Olympus, Sea&Sea, Panasonic, Ikelite and more.
The Nano Double Ray set includes a Nano Flash--an underwater slave flash that synchronizes with your camera's built-in flash for more diverse lighting, reduced backscatter and to prevent the shadowing effect caused by a camera's internal flash (especially when accessory lenses are mounted on the housing lens port). The Nano flash operates on 2x AAA batteries (not included).
Also included is the Blue Ray Tray for integrating the different components (camera housing, arms, strobes, lights, lens holders, etc.) of your underwater housing system. A fiber optic cable for a more secure synchronization between the camera's built-in flash and the Nano Flash, is also part of the Nano Double Ray, as is are 2 flex arms for attaching a flash or focus light to the tray. A Nano focus light is also part of this set--a high intensity, ultra compact LED light designed as a modeling light to help the camera autofocus, especially in low-light situations. The Nano focus light operates on 4x AAA batteries (not included).
Finally, a Fantasea padded Pro Bag designed for storage and transport of all the components in this set is also included. Your underwater photos are about to get a lot better. A camera housing is not included.
- Nano Flash
- The Nano Flash is an underwater slave flash that triggers in sync with the camera built-in flash. It was designed to significantly improve the colors in underwater photographs, as well as to retrieve the light that is absorbed by water. The Nano Flash is recommended at all depths, during daylight and night dives. It also enhances images by allowing for diverse creative lighting opportunities, while reducing the amount of backscatter in the images and preventing the shadowing effect caused by the camera internal flash, especially when accessory lenses are mounted on the housing lens port.
- Nano Fiber Optic Cable
- Although the Nano Flash features a slave sensor and is capable of synchronizing with the camera internal flash without using any cables in most diving conditions, a fiber optic cable ensures the best synchronization between the camera internal flash and the Nano Flash at all angles and within various diving conditions, especially when photographing in shallow clear water with bright ambient light.
- Blue Ray Tray
- The Blue Ray Tray allows integrating different components in an underwater photo system, including the camera housing, arms, strobes, lights, lens holders and more. Made from anodized aluminum, this sturdy tray was designed for optimal functionality and ease of operation. The Blue Ray Tray is compatible with all compact digital housings.
- Flex Arm
- The Flex Arm is a flexible arm made of rugged plastic polycarbonate material, designed for attaching a flash, focus light or night dive to a tray. The flexible design of the arm allows for the light or flash mounted on top of it to be positioned within different angles and distances from the camera housing.
- Nano Focus Light
- The Nano Focus Light is a high intensity ultra compact underwater LED light. It was designed as a modeling light and in order to better enable the camera auto focus, especially when photographing in low light conditions. The Nano Focus Light features a dim-out sensor which automatically shuts off the LED light whenever a camera pre-flash is fired, thereby eliminating a hotspot in the image, caused by the beam of the light.
- Fantasea Pro Bag
- A padded bag especially designed for secure storage and transportation of all underwater photo system components.

Comments about Fantasea Line Nano Double Ray Underwater Lighting Set:
I'm still working out the kinks for this setup. It looks great when attached to the camera, the construction feels pretty solid, and it's very easy to set up.
However, I'm having some issues with syncing it to my canon powershot a620. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Haven't yet tried it underwater. Will re-eval after trying it in it's intended environment.

Comments about Fantasea Line Nano Double Ray Underwater Lighting Set:
Bought this to try to add extra lighting to a Canon G Power Shot in a Canon housing but not with a significant investment. While I am diving.
Once the Sync had been sorted out the strobe worked well and the focus light really helped in crevices. Keep the Camer on permanent flash and use the optic cable.

Comments about Fantasea Line Nano Double Ray Underwater Lighting Set:
I used it for 2 dives
The flash very powerfull, as long as you are not too far from your subject.
Use it also if there is enough light as it will reveal unseen colors like reds that disapear under a few feets of water.
Easy to install ans uninstall, first setup can be done in around 30 minutes, folowing setups, only a few minutes.
Setups are simple and easy. Another thing to think about is finding something to shade yous internal flash without shading the Fiber Optic caption device.
The focus light is efficient under lower light conditions.
When the whole kit is atttached to my camera and housing (Canaon A720) it has a negative buyancy, so be carefull to get it attached to you, specialy if you dive to a wall or somewhere deep.
Good price/quality Value.
