On Monday I would call Backscatter direct as they may have them but not listed yet. Another option would be Reef Photo.

I'm still not sold on this addition, however, if I was doing more diving than I do currently this would probably be an easier decision to purchase. For me I wished that RETRA had been able to make it fit in the current battery compartment of the strobes rather than adding the extension. With the short pre-order period it also kind of feels like RETRA wanted people to make quick purchase decisions rather than doing some analysis like was done by people above. After people have used it more and have gotten more performance data it might then be a future option for me to look into again.

The detail for the new battery pack was just posted. So far from what I read it looks like it is a big improvement over the 8 AA batteries and the lifetime exchange really adds to my probable need for the new toy. Also since most of my other electronics are based on USB connections this will limit the number of batteries that I will need to take along on trips and free up some space in my bags. Looking forward to see what others think.

Got this in my email today and did not see much info on the Retra site. Has anyone heard any upfront info on these for all of their strobes? Might be interested in adding these to my strobes. The sire noted that preorders will start at the end of June but did not see any other info.

Decided to make the move over here.
