Sealife SL960D strobe

i should have psoted it here earlier but i somehow did not notice this thread so i posted it in another thread...

SL960D Underwater Strobe with Variable Power Control for Digital and Film Cameras - Rated up to 200'...

i know i'm supposed to ask for feedback from users of this strobe before buying it, but i just clicked on the checkout button at B&Hphoto and i am eagerly waiting for this strobe to arrive so i can use it with my pentax optio S5i with pentax housing.

does anybody have any experience with this strobe? i cant seem to find much reviews on this particular model. i'd like to know so i'll know what to expect from this strobe. at least your feedback will either make me more excited while waiting for it and at least it will also help me not to expect so much from it before i use it if ever it has flaws. thanks all in advance.

Hi Edwin,

I don't know this strobe. I would start to use it for closeup / macro photography as the strobe should be suitable for this in terms of power and brightness. I think you have to adjust the strobe to ignore your camera's preflashes. Power output (brighness) seems to be adjusted manually.
