reef master mini and strobe question

[donnad]

hi there. I have the reefmaster mini.......and now have the strobe to go with it. my question is.........how much trouble is it after a dive to switch to "land mode" to take pictures of the beach or whatever? I would need to disconnect the camera from the strobe? or perhaps not, since you don't need a flash in the daytime at least on land. please advise the easiest way to use the camera for land pics in between dives. thx much

Just switch to land mode as you don't need a flash. No need to take the strobe off.

ok, thanks. i'll try ya on another question.......i'm unable to put on my wide angle lens while using the strobe, because the flash deflector is in the way and doesn't quite allow for the wide angle lens to be seated properly. i wonder if they have redesigned a flash deflector for it.

My mini sometimes gives me a little grief on this, try turning the camera a little on the stobe. The deflecter monts to the strobe not to the camera so sometimes I have to "adjust" the angle of which the camera sits to get the lens on. I rarely take my lens off.
