Sea &Sea YS-01 Strobe

By CJ

Excellent strobe, very compact and very easy to use, wether on manual or auto TTL. I specifically use it the greater percentage of the time, if not all, on Auto TTL, and don't have to worry much about exposure. It's not tremendously powerful, for wide , wide scales, however for up close with either macro or wide angle, it covers the fields of view quite nice nicely.

 

Great Strobe

By Daniel S.

This is a great strobe,. Very happy with purchase and would recommend to others. I use two of these strobes to provide good lighting for underwater shots.

Multiple features condensed into a compact design
Adding Artificial Light to Underwater Photography and Video's is the Key to better Images. Having the best Platform to help provide that Lighting is as important as the Artificial Light itself. The Strobe has a circular beam angle of 100° x 100° and guide number of up to 20 (ISO 100/m) on land. The YS-01 is a new compact-type slave strobe that can be used for all applications from wide-angle to macro photography. You can switch between DS-TTL (Digital Slave TTL) and a ten-level manual control function, to enable fine adjustment of the light level. You can also set up a lighting system that uses two strobes in DS-TTL mode. Power comes from four AA batteries for a powerful and long-lasting strobe. You can enjoy taking pictures all day long without having to replace or recharge the batteries. The recycle time takes 1.9 seconds with nickel-metal hydride batteries (2700 mAh) for stress-free continuous shooting.

The YS-01 is furnished with a high-luminance white LED target light (1W) indicating the optical axis of the strobe attached to its front face that is effective for night diving. You can fully exercise your creativity with the YS-01, which can be used as a primary strobe or secondary strobe in a wide range of applications, from compact digital cameras to digital SLR cameras. The Strobe has a depth rating of 250' (75 meters). The Flash has a color temperature of 5600°K, provides up to 230 flashes using 4 AA Alkaline batteries and 330 flashes using NiMH batteries. The strobe head measures 2.7" x 4.3" x 5.2" (68 mm x 108 mm x 129 mm), weighs 17.7 oz. (505 g), comes with a diffuser, diffuser strap, silicone grease, fixing bolt and owner's manual. Please connect this strobe to a digital camera housing using a Fiber-Optic Cable (L-type).

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

Cole Z  Will this work with my Sony a7iii in a sea frogs underwater housing?
Mario C  A far as see frog website says that housing needs a Nikonos 3 pin bulkhead connector for external flash ( this is a sync cord ) I would contact housing manufacturer to see alternatives we are not familiar with those
Shopper  Hi, I have a Olympus Underwater Housing PT-058 TG-5 Digital Camera. What mount would you recommend for this strobe?
Mario C  any mount that is YS style, that fits the tray you are using and has the length you need...
Shopper  Which strobe will work well with the Olympus TG-2 with the PT-053 housing?
MARY D  The YS-01 strobe should work with any camera that has a built in flash, because it uses the flash to trigger the strobe through fiber optics. It is a great little strobe for a compact camera. It uses a sticky velcro to attach the fiber to the underwater case.
MARK M  I have a similar housing and this strobe has worked great. One feature that is raelly good is the spot light feature to use when night diving. You can also adjust the intensity of the strobe and the compact size makes it a good fit for the housing. I have been very pleased overall with the strobe and the pictures I've taken.
RANDOLPH T  any optical trigger strobe should work fine
PENNYS A  Hello, I am sorry that I am unable to answer your question as I returned it once I realize what I really wanted after buying it. I never even used it. After talking with Leisure Pro techs, I was able to find out what kind of light I wanted. Sorry and happy diving. Penny Gellatly Vacation Specialist Protect Our Oceans
