    DS160 and Focus Light

    I have the light down close to the housing to reduce any shadow. I think using the ball mounts will move the light away and also may give to much movement. Maybe this can work INON Direct Base YS RT depends on how the screw is fitted and if it can be replaced with a 1/4-20 Or A combination...

    DS160 and Focus Light

    The focus light has a light sensor in the light's head that detects the strobe, there are no interconnecting wires or optic fibres.

    DS160 and Focus Light

    Agreed The DS160 Modeling light: 205 lm LED, and the DS160 manual says "modeling light will momentarily turn off and back on when the strobe is fired to avoid overexposure or hot spots in the image".

    DS160 and Focus Light

    The Auto off is triggered by the strobe lighting up the area. When the strobe flashes, depending on the ambient light, the focus light turns off. This happens at close to the speed of light :) The Focus light turns back on after about 1 second. With Auto off I do not get white or red 'hot...

    DS160 and Focus Light

    With two strobes you will likely not want either of them pointing directly at your subject, hence the modelling/focus light the strobe provides is of little value. I have the Kraken sports hydra 1000+ wsr and find this to be a good focus light. I use the Red light at night and that is very...

    Looking for Focus light.

    The shutter speed is a lot slower than that "millisecond or two" of flash. At 1/60 there is 16.67 millisecond of shutter opening, many cameras the fastest shutter is 1/60 on flash. Also many times the flash will be quite low power, my Inons will go from 20 to 3 GN. I have no idea how to...

    Sony NEX-5

    He has a Polaroid housing, I think it is a fixed port, so he cannot use Nauticam dome.

    Sony NEX-5

    I have used the Sony Nex5 in a Nauticam housing and currently have a Sony Nex5n set-up with a Nauticam housing and two Inon stobes. I found the setting on the Nex5 limiting, the 5n was a better option. Some comments on you questions: 1. Dive red filters for the housing are fairly cheap now...

    Sony A6000 + Sea&Sea YS01 + Seafrog case

    Hi I have an older Sony Nex5N and find that if I use on Aperture priority I only have shutter speed set to 1/60 when using the flash. If I go in full manual I can set the the shutter speed up to 1/160 (fastest for my camera on flash) and then set the aperture. I play with the aperture to get...

    Beginner photographer needs light advice

    I am confused. Are you suggesting that pre-flash can be turned off on all cameras? Or are you saying that the TG02 has a slave function? A number of point and shoot cameras cannot have pre-flash turned off. Hence the strobe needs to be able to account for pre flash. For me this is a...

    Beginner photographer needs light advice

    This is not always the case. modern cameras will have one or more pre flashes to help with focus the flash must be capable of working with the pre flash. The optical fibre that syncs the strobe connects to this insert. Also the insert will block the cameras flash reducing backscatter. I...

    Cleaning regulator in countries without "drinkable" water

    The aim of the rinse is to remove salt/sand. On most of my dives its no advisable to drink the water I dive in, it the sea. If you are worried give the reg a dunk in the sea before you put it in your mouth.

    Mikron vs Legend vs Legend LX vs MK25+s600 or other recommendations ??

    A sealed diaphragm first stage will be easier to rinse, such as a Scubapro MK17, paired with S560 fairly small and predominantly plastic, so limited corrosion.
