Extension Knobs for Inon Z-240 and D-2000 Strobes

[jonjake]

After returning from several warm water dive trips last year, I quickly noticed how much harder it is to adjust my strobes while wearing gloves in the local cold waters.

I did some quick searches and found there are a few add-on knobs available for the Inon strobes at varying prices and quality. For the price, none of them were really what I was looking for so I designed my own. A machine shop that I work with frequently in San Jose, CA made these prototypes for me.



They fit over the existing knob, orient with a cutout for the pointer, and are retained using a pair of set screws that line up with the roll pin hole. The original knobs are very difficult to remove so making a cap seemed more practical.

Material: CNC-machined Aluminum 6061-T6
Color: Orange anodized
Weight: 9 grams
Compatibility: Inon Z-240 & Inon D-2000
Includes: Knob(s), Extra Set Screws, and Allen Wrench (for installation)

I am going to take them down to Monterey this weekend and will report back on how they work. Any interest in these here? I am considering getting a small production run of them made. PM me for more details.

Hello .... I'm mailing you from Poland. I would really like to buy such 4 knob extensions for my INON z240 strobes. Is it possible to make such purchase? How much would it be?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Mark

I'm interested in a pair, Jon. Let me know the cost?
