KidOlympus Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Weird issue but I think it died being left in a car for a couple of hours. Not directly in the sun but it was a hot day. One strobe survived. I’m only diving a couple of times a year and still want to take photos. My question is what should I pair my 1 Z240 with. I fire the strobes with fiber optic using Olympus OMD EM5 mii. It appears Inon quit making the Z-330. Should I just buy another 240/330 used or does anyone have another idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ross Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 best bet is probably a used Z-240. Much easier to keep them on the same setting so the illumination is the same from both sides when used conventionally with a strobe on each side and symettrical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Yeah, I agree with Chris. I do wonder though if a Z220/240 might be a little harder to find now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humu9679 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Any strobe you like will work but as Chris says, balancing them will be easier if they’re the same. I do have a friend who uses a z240 and a z330 at the same time and his photos look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Hicks Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I have 3 Inon 330s and now that I am using HF-1s primarily, I suppose I don't need 3 spares. I'd be willing to sell one of my 330s. Maybe $375 usd. With accessories. Mount, diffusers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrtDay Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Also suggest the Sea and Sea options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlaity Posted Monday at 04:40 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:40 AM Did you bend the battery compartment pins out? The ones on the cap. Also try not tightening the cap so tightly, or cleaning the pins. The pins on the inside are gold-plated, but the ones on the cap are made of tin or something. Also, smacking the strobe around the battery compartment often wakes them up, on the Z-220, 240, and 330. Or maybe listen to the guys recommending Sea and Sea since Inon seems to be on their way out of business… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
