Fotocore GTX

[Sokrates]

Ran into this strobe online. https://fotocore.com/products/gtx-strobe

Looks like its rebranded D-pro with slightly different outer shell, otherwise its 1:1. Even the accessories are Scubalamp ones.

 

Anyone have any info on this?

You appear to be correct in your assumption that this is a rebranded Scubalamp (SUPE) D-pro strobe, the only apparent difference is the $100.00 higher price for the GTX. The front page of my review of D-pro is attached, you can read the full review in uwpmag.com back issues.

Looks like this is the Scubalamp mini strobe shown at DEMA. Surprised that it doesn't speak RC mode for olympus

Four new strobes on the horizon with unpredictable future in highly increased competition and shrinking markets.

The Fotocore GTX are Scubalamp DPro with a new brand.

I have been using the Scubalamp DPro for two years and the new Fotocore GTM for a few weeks.

They are flashes designed for users who don't need TTL, nor HSS but with circular lamp, with all their advantages but with a quite reduced price.

I think it is a very interesting option.

Yes but not exactly. They indeed have the same body structure and similar performance although the Fotocore GTX adds 2 stroboscope modes with either 3 or 6 flashes in one long frame.

I owned 2 of these and sold them back : after one trip my opinion was they were good and powerful for wide angle although not versatile enough for shooting macro, heavy as well. For travel comfort reasons, I wanted to use the sames strobes for both macro and WA. Now I'm back with Retra/superchargers and the carry on load of AA batteries... we can't always get what we want.
