Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
When I first set the strobe up, I had the delay set up per the instructions and the it worked just fine on the first dive. On the second dive, inexplicably, it decided it needed a different delay setting. It works fine now but it was a little frustrating. I've also had problems with overbending the handle with very slight pressure and the light connection between the camera and the strobe is very easy to pull out.
Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
Fairly good "cheap" strobe. Reasonable coverage. Two big problems:1: Boyant. I needed to add some lead weights to the battery compartment.2: The connectors for the batter are must flimsy spring metal and flatten out easily, causing failed connections. Prying the flattened connector up too many times caused the connector to break off. [...].

Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
Comes with an enormous, bright yellow, padded case which is large enough to fit the U/W camera housing I use. So that's really handy to keep all the camera gear together on a trip.
It takes some practice to use it well. But it's easy to setup (before you splash) and once setup, doesn't take much thought or effort to use. The flash-to-flash, and the on-to-flash time is a little slow. Don't expect to take action shots (who does underwater?). However, the strobe is quite powerful.
The adjustments you can make U/W can easily be done while wearing mittens. It's pretty rugged and doesn't take much to maintain it.
Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
This is a good strobe to add a bit of light.
Functionally it is very sound.
As always LeisurePro has delivered exactly what I ordered in a timely manner and at a very good price.
Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
Good price for a good product. Easy to to use for entry level flash. Nice flash intensity adjustment. The battery compartment could be better. I found it cumbersome to change batteries. Also, you have to be careful when do so, a few time the whole battery compartment came apart and I hard to reassemble it...

Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
This strobe is perfect for cameras/cases that do not have TTL connections. Great for bringing out the color. Moving the flash away from the lens reduces backscatter.

Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
I've had poor battery life and had to switch to expecive lithium batterys. Single flash does ok but not the best fill for very close macro shots.
Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
This flash was easy to use once I figured out how to get the flash to respond to the camera's internal flash. I haven't had to change anything since. Great flash.

Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
Not a professional level strobe but it really gets the job done for me! I purchased this strobe to add a second to my Sealife DC600 rig. Having two strobes provides lots of light for night shots and really brings out the colors at depth during the day. No leaks or other problems with it.

GREAT value! The SeaLife SL960D has a super look and feel that is very easy to handle on all aspects of your dive. The adjustable flash power is easy to use as well. This will really make the difference in all your photos. I am going to get a second one for my other camera so my wife can enjoy it too! [...] Go for it! -PJ
Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
Product did a nice job...my pictures actually show fish in the water! It takes a bit of getting used to the size, but worth the effort.
Comments about Sealife SeaLife SL960D Digital Flash:
This is a great strobe unit! Besides the pre-flash settings, you also have an adjustment knob on the back of the strobe, so you can adjust the intensity of the flash. This is much better than the standard SeaLife flash strobe that I had before. With this one, you can get just the right amount of flash, and you are much less likely to "wash out" a subject. Great unit, well worth the money!
