Question about a setup.

I have olympus 1030SW with PT-043 housing and i am looking at different systems to add a strobe etc. I really like this Inon setup, http://tinyurl.com/d7c659 and wanted to know if it would be a smart choice.

Do i have to worry about Inonamerica not being in business anymore.

thanks

I don't know if I am correct here, but Inon America was just a local distribution.

Since establishing Inon America in September 2003, we have done our best job for these 5+ years building Inon brand name recognition, reputation and market share in North, Central and South America, but in spite of our efforts and success, the Japanese manufacturers of Inon product, Inon, Inc. and Seanet, Inc., have suddenly and unilaterally decided to sell directly to our customer base, cutting Inon America out of the very business it created.

It seems to me that your only problem will be to service your Inon equipment you will either have to send back to Japan or find a local service technician. It would seem that Inon just didnt want some one else making money from selling their stuff when they can do it.

They are good ! Reef-photo of the East if I may ... :-)

I think you are on the right track selecting a compact strobe, as far as i can think of Sea&Sea are the only other manuf to do something small and effective.
