Well it couldn’t happen at a worse time. Was blowing out all my photos on a recent dive to the Northern BC coast. Turns out my old D2 finally crapped out and has the typical board failure. Not bad considering it’s quite a few years old. Funny thing is my D1 is still just as good as day 1!

Worst part about it all is I’m heading to the Dominican in under two weeks and scrambling to get a stop gap replacement. I was planning on upgrading to the Inon z335’s when they were released so don't want to buy a new strobe now. May just run the trip single strobe.

There is always something!

Unfortunately I don't think I would be holding my breath waiting for the new INON, they discontinued the Z330 strobe in early 2023. They popped up showing a prototype over a year ago and since then crickets. We're spoiled for choice currently with strobes with lots of options. The INON Z series strobes were great strobes, quite reliable, and I understand why you might want them. You could consider a new pair of S220 strobes now, apparently quite powerful and nearly a match for you YS-D2, but otherwise there's lot's to choose from.

Of course having said this they might announce the new strobe next week, but doesn't seem likely.
