Help me choose a strobe

2 posts
  1. The time has come to get my strobe. I thought I had it all worked out, but am now confused help deciding. I'll be shooting strictly WA for now. Subjects will include large sharks, rays and whales. The camera is a Nikon D200, not that it really matters. Here are my stobe choices.

     

    Ikelite substrobe 200

     

    Ikelite DS-125

     

    Ikelite DS-200

     

     

    Please feel free to give any input.

  2. Browsing the forum provides lots of information regarding DS125 / DS200. They are both good for WA work. 200er series gives you more brightness. I have chosen two DS125 for size/weight reasons and can’t comment on 200 series from experience.

     

    For WA work I would plan to get a second strobe later anyway. For example: One (DS)200 can’t provide wideangle coverage like two DS125 can.
