The Sea & Sea YS-27DX Strobe was designed specifically for digital cameras. It synchronizes with the included fiber optic cord for a flood free connection. Lightweight and compact this is the prefect strobe for the Sea & Sea 8000DX and other small camera systems. The fiber optic sync cord can be customized for a variety of digital camera housings from Canon, Sony, Olympus, Ikelite and Sea Life. The fiber optic cable transmits light from the cameras built in flash to the slave sensor on the strobe. The kit comes with a fiber optic cable for each strobe, they connect together, then attach to the housing in front of the built-in flash.The included Sea & Sea Strobe Mask Set is used to attach the included Sea & Sea Fiber Optic Cables to many manufacturer's underwater housings. The mask blocks the on-camera flash from exposing your subject. This prevents back-scatter. The grommet allows the cable to be attached in front of the on-camera flash so the light will trigger your external strobe.
This full featured strobe offers exposure control with a 9 step manual control. All you need to do is set your aperture to match the number on the control. If your images are a little too light or dark just dial the power up or down. Using two strobes makes it easier to have even lighting for wide-angle photography. Since you could dial up or down the power of each strobe you could create interesting lighting ratio effects.
The Sea & Sea Sea arm with built in tray and additional arm is also included. The sea arm is constructed of fiber glass with fortified nylon. This makes it rigid to keep the strobes in the right position. It is also very light and compact. The arms have a rubber grip that provides a comfortable handhold. The arms are made up of two 5.1" sections each.
