Olympus recently announced the Stylus 1 - It looks like it would be a nice small(ish) kit. I did not see a housing listed on the Olympus site - Has anyone heard of a housing to go along with it?

I use an Inon D-2000 with XZ-1 - works great in TTL (and manual) mode.

I did a live aboard between Saba and St. Kitts earlier this year. I used an Olympus XZ-1 in PT-050 with a Inon D-2000, Sealife SL961, Sealife SL980 video light and Fisheye focus light. It was all attached to a Beneath the Surface frame and flex arms. Some dives I used an Olympus PTWC-01 wide...

I ended up going with an Inon D-2000. It arrived today, my first impression is very positive. Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

The D2000 is basically the same output as the S2000. I like the features of the D2000 (semi-auto based off aperture looks slick) but at the same price as the YS-D1 it is a full stop darker. I emailed SnS but they have not replied to confirm function with the XZ-1, so I may well go with the...

Does the YS-D1 only work fine in S-TTL or in the new DS-TTL II? I found this review of the YS-D1 and the conclusion was "results were spotty with the Olympus XZ-1". The UFL-2 statement has me confused since the UFL-2 manual talks about RC Mode, it is basically an FL-36R land flash in a SnS...

Thanks, I had read about the problems with the YS-01 and Sea & Sea's compatibility page indicates a firmware update is needed. I was hoping that updates would be rolled into later units or at least into the YS-D1 since it looks like a very nice strobe - the compatibility page indicates DS-TTL...

I am trying to decide on an upgraded strobe for my XZ-1 / PT-050. I am having trouble determining which strobes work well with the XZ-1 and can use TTL or RC mode. I currently have the XZ-1 in the Olympus PT-050 housing and a Sealife SL961 and PTWC-01 wide angle lens. I would like to add a...

I get 2 dives with mine, 3 if I am careful or don't shoot a lot. Flash set to 1/64, raw+LF. I have a mix of batteries including older ones from my tough-6020 so I try my best to swap batteries after 2 dives. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

I would like to extend mine as well, where did you see the parts? There is an extension I saw at B&H

Another update. I did 23 dives in Bonaire 2 weeks ago. Sealife has sent me a new SL980 after the problems I had on Roatan, these were the first dives with the new video light. On one dive early in the week the ligh shut off and would not restart, after surfacing I found the same failure mode...

I do like the SL980 - I added it to my existing SL961. The main reason I got it was for focus assist in low light conditions and fill light for the strobe. The SL980 throws a wide circle, LED daylight color, easy to use and configurable. I ended up leaving it set to stay on during strobe...

To post a quick update - I did send the light back and they turned around a new unit in 1 day. Excellent customer service.

The same thing just happened to me to a new SL980 while I was on Roatan last week. The light would turn on okay but after awhile it would turn off and not come back on, in some cases it would turn back on for awhile then off again - very intermittent operation. It was a bit of a surprise when...
