As soon as I'll get my HF-1s I will start designing. Not sure yet, if I'll go the bayonet-way or just a cap-like approach, where I can leave the diffuser on. I will post my results here. I will be able to test in September, when my daughter will make her OWD a+ AOWD in Egypt and I will swim around to test my strobes and the new housing.

I followed a different approach of two parts. One TPU for the knob and one top in two colored print for a visual display of the knob position

I will upload them on makerlab these days.

PRICE-DROP: 850,00 EUR for both strobes.

Hi Shokwaav, until the comming Wednesday I dove with my YS-D3 DOU strobes from Sea&Sea and designed and printed my own snoot. It has a bayonet connection like the original diffusers and a holder attached to the arm. And I printed a small diffusor for the snoot with transparent PLA. It can be tricky, to aim. But! You can align the Snoot inline with your lens and make several testshots. Then you get a feeling for the perfect distance and can use it throughout the dive. I got this trick from one of Alex Mustards videos. And in a couple of days, I will make the same for my new Backscatter HF-1s. I'll make it from PETG, which is not so hygroscopic like PLA and also more sturdy. If you like, we can exchange our projects. The small yellow "thing" is made with a TG-6 and this snoot on the Sea&Sea strobe.

I don't know if this is allowed, but I'm just offering: 2x Sea & Sea YS-D3 Duo flashes, in absolutely mint condition (< 20 TG) and in their original packaging. Both were purchased on December 17, 2024. They are German flashes with a German warranty. Selling due to changes in my gear. The flashes support standard TTL and manual flash control, and work perfectly with Olympus (RC mode). I'm also including a self-made snoot (the picture of the little yellow anemone was taken with it). I also printed attachments for the dials, as this makes it easier to see the flash's power output. RRP €849 each, so €1700. Together for €1000. I'll provide insured shipping for the costs within Germany. International buyers cover the difference. Payment via PayPal. Private sale, no returns, no warranty beyond the factory warranty.

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm from the south of Germany and love to dive with good people and my camera :) Not much to say 'bout me I'm looking forward to meeting nice people here and perhaps somewhere in the world in "real time".
