Strobes that work with the RX100

[James R]

I'll be using two Inon z-240 & a Nauticam housing with my Rx100.

I am very happy with my YS-D1... I originally ordered just one for my trip to Dominica and promptly ordered a second. Now my rig is complete!

Sony RX100
Nauticam NA-RX100 housing
2 x Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobe
Light & Motion Sola 1200 photo/video light
Ultralight handle and arms

I also ordered the Bluewater Photo WA-110 wide angle, Dyron +7 macro lens... And I got it all from Scott at Bluewater Photo, Video & Underwater Cameras! Fantastic service!

That is exactly what i am looking for to get later this year. I'd love if you could show up some pics with this setup. Too bad the guys @ Bluewater doesn't answer my e-mails, especially since i have only heard good from them.

Oh, and by the way: Did you have to order the flotation arms extra or did they come in the package?

I ordered 3 extra 5" ultra light arms, the ultra light handle extension + additional handle, a set of floats and extra YS-D1 strobe after I bought the package advertised at Bluewaterphoto... I highly recommend two strobes over 1. The floats are also necessary for balance underwater...

Thanks for the reply. How many floats do you reckon i would need for balance?

The rx100 in nauticam housing is 170 grand negative the tray and one handle around 170 too
Weights for ultralight arms and clamps are on their website
You are probably looking at least to 500-600 negative and if you have a lens holder you can only put floats on one segment
My rx100 rig with two sola 1200 and locline arms needs 4 jumbo floats to be neutral

My current set up is slightly negative. I could probably use to 2 more Stix floats to make it neutral.

Something like the Stix jumbo floats? I'm trying to estimate how negative my rig will be...
Rx100, Nauticam housing, two strobes, couple wet lenses on a holder or two, focus light, etc

thanks!

Yes stix floats is what i use
192 grams each with metal arms you will need a few two can be placed on the tray too

 

[James R]

Thanks. I have two packs of four floats on the way, found on here in the classifieds at a good price

will the ys-110 (non alpha model) work with the rx100?
