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 camera's built in flash to the slave sensor on the strobe. The included Sea & Sea Strobe Mask Set is used to attach the included Sea & Sea Fiber Optic Cable 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.The Sea & Sea arm with built in tray is also included. The sea arm is constructed of fiber glass with fortified nylon. This makes it rigid to keep the strobe in the right position. It is also very light and compact. The arm has a rubber grip that provides a comfortable handhold. The arm is made up of two 5.1" sections.
