Ikelite DS230 Overview

The Ikelite DS232 213Ws Underwater TTL Strobe with Video Light and US power supply packs more flash capacitance to cut through the water and deliver sharper, more colorful, professional-looking wide-angle images. The strobe is controlled with 10 steps in 1/2-stop increments. The DS232 emits a 120° video light beam of 5000k light, which balances with available light underwater to provide richer coloring and deeper blue water backgrounds when shooting wide angle. The cells in the included NiMH battery pack have been proven to outperform alkaline and lithium cells in real-world underwater conditions, including the temperature fluctuations and storage conditions of the photographer diver.

The DS232 incorporates a powerful 2500-lumen video light beam, allowing you to effortlessly switch between stills and video.
A custom-formulated ABS-PC blend makes the strobe fundamentally corrosion-proof and over 0.5 lb lighter than aluminum body strobes.
The robust dial controls are now even larger and taller for comfortable use with even the thickest gloves. A slide lock prevents the strobe from accidentally being turned on when not in use.
Trigger the DS232 directly from your camera using either an electrical sync cord with an ICS-5 plug or by adding an optional fiber-optic converter. The DS232 supports exposure communication with most popular camera models using high-accuracy TTL converters.
Remote triggering is supported by both optional extension cords and/or optical slave converters. Position your strobes at a distance from your camera for a variety of creative lighting setups, including cave lighting, off-camera wreck lighting, and pool studio photography.
The battery pack attaches quickly and easily with a unique toggle lock that prevents accidental floods. You don't even need to lubricate the O-ring. The strobe front is compatible with older NiMH battery packs or the DS232 strobe battery pack.
