The compact, lightweight and affordable Ikelite DS51 Substrobe is an excellent choice for many underwater photographers. Its digital electronics make it fully compatible with digital cameras as well as traditional film cameras such as the Nikonos. The strobe can easily switch between TTL/Auto and any of the six (6) manual power settings for complete control over lighting the subject. The DS51'sintensity and angle of coverage make it equally suited for macro and general photography. The strobe's wide-angle diffuser increases the angle-of-coverage upto 80 degrees, softens the light and helps to reduce backscatter.
The DS51 Substrobe's power rivals strobes twice its size, recycles in a quick 3.5 seconds, and provides 200+ flashes on a set of batteries. Much shorter recycle times and more flashes per set of batteries can be realized during TTL/Auto operation. When connected with a sync cord to compatible Ikelite housings, or the Nikonos camera system, the DS51 Substrobe offers TTL/Auto and Manual Mode. When used with other manufacturer's housings, the DS51 Substrobe can only be used in the Manual Mode utilizing the six (6) power settings. Strobeand components are depth rated to 300' (90 meters).
IK401006 Ikelite Manual Strobe Controller is for DS Digital Series Substrobe's and provides 10 manual power settings in half-stop increments for SubStrobe DS-51 model. The Manual Controller has a slave sensor allowing it to be triggered by another strobe; or any of Ikalite's sync cords can be attached to the Controller bulkhead. The Controller attaches to the strobe and mounts near the housing, providing maximum versatility and control of flash exposure. It canbe used with normal or pre-flash camera and strobe systems.
A second strobe with a Manual Controller can be set to any desired power and will operate dependably with the built-in slave sensor of the Controller aimed at the subject or the primary strobe; or the Controller can be connected to a dual sync cord. A second strobe with a wireless TTL Slave Sensor will duplicate any manual power level it sees on the primary strobe.
IK410351 Ikelite TTL Flash Sync Cord attaches your Substrobe to the camera. Cordcomes with protective cap. Cap is machined from black Delrin, apply almost no squeeze to the "O" ring, and allow connector attachment on both ends of the synccord.
IK4086.61 arm system provides full strobe aim, allows easy strobe placement frommacro close-up to wide angle with two clamps and a 6" (15cm) extension. The overall extended length is 14" (34.5cm). The complete system removes with a pushof the handle button.

I did a lot of research before laying down [$] for a strobe. I do a lot of traveling to foreign SCUBA destinations, but underwater photography being a hobby, I did not want something too large or elaborate. This setup is perfect and has helped me capture some fantastic images.
