Description
The Sea & Sea YS-D3 is one of the world's best strobes for underwater photography. It offers lots of great improvements from it predecessor, the YS-D2J, including quicker recycling times, a more even beam, a redesigned back display, and a more powerful targeting light. The YS-D3's circuitry has been improved and the strobe is capable of a powerful, professional guide number of 33 (land). At guide number 22, the YS-D3's recycling time is a mere 0.6 seconds and at guide number 16, there is virtually no recycle time! This kind of capability is very beneficial to underwater photographers that need to shoot quick subjects with burst modes on their camera. What's New With The Mark II: The original Sea & Sea YS-D3 strobe has been upgraded to the Sea & Sea YS-D3 Mk II. Both strobes are essentially the same with a few minor differences. The Mark II features enhanced TTL shooting with better third-party optical TTL converter compatibility New compatibility with existing and older Sea & Sea optical TTL converters Improved TTL with compact cameras Redesign of the light intensity adjustment dial and mode switch for better ergonomics Features: Maximum Guide Number 33 (on land) Newly developed aspherical lens on the flash tubes provides even light dispersion, no hotspots are produced Native beam angle of 105 X 80 degrees with no diffuser Wide beam angle of 120° (with included diffuser) or can even wider (150°) with the optional diffuser Battery life: 220 flashes with Ni-MH batteries (4X AA) Recycle time: 1.7 seconds at full power, 0.6 seconds at GN 22, no recycle time below GN 16!
