I bought a Canon S90 w/ Ikelite housing to go with 2 of these strobes. I also used the strobes with a Canon G9 w/ Canon housing.

I received the strobes right before a trip to Bonaire - took pictures every day and very pleased with the stobes. I bought these strobes mainly for ease of set-up and use.

The strobes were easy to attach to the tray - and only 2 dials and no exposed cords as the stobe(s) are triggered by the internal flash of the camera.

I used the auto mode a great deal of the time - did take it off for some shots of critters in holes - where I needed brighter light. Very easy!!! The strobes works well in auto or manual modes.

Major plus - included in the kit - was a Canon housing 'converter' to attach to the tray so I can use either camera & housing.

Only con - (wasn't a problem for me) is the length of the strobe arm is not adjustable - you can move the arm around - but you can't make it longer or shorter - again not an issue for me.

I was extremely pleased with the stobes!

Excellent, easy to use strobe package for digital camera. Great photos already. Sealed except for battery compartment which has good seal. Nicely designed slave doesn't require an optical cable (which got stuck in the housing of my last setup and flooded the camera). Just pop in batteries and attach to the camera housing and attach simple cover over flash and you are ready to go.

I am a novice diver, I never took a picture underwater before. I bought the Ikelite casing for my Nikon S550 and coupled it with this flash and a wide angle lens. The whole package is slightly negative and I did not have to change my buoyancy set up. I took pictures of lilly pads underwater in a lake in northern WI, visibility was low and the bottom of the lake was mucky. I am very satisfied with the results, given the facts that I am not a skilled diver and it was my first time taking pictures underwater.

I have used this product on several dive trips. It is a good value for someone that wants good equipment, but doesn't want to invest over $500 in a strobe. I have dropped it and banged it on the boats and it keeps working.

The remote sensor works very well and there is no noticeable flash delay. I use rechargeable AA batteries and they last through one day's dive trip with no problem.

I have found it to work best using manual settings based on conditions. It is powerful and usually requires you to aim it away from the subject slightly. Once you get the hang of it this strobe takes good pictures.

Mine flooded on my first trip probably due to human error. I sent it back to the manufacturer and they repaired it for free with no questions asked. That alone makes this the strobe for me.
