strobes for 5dmrk 2

4 posts
  1. I have been a top side pro photographer for a while recently got into the amazing world of underwater photography, have just ordered a aquatica housing just any advice on strobes is welcome looking at a ys 250 to start then hopefully add another when the budget allows,If anyone has any experience on this strobe appreciated eg pros and cons.or open to other configurations.

  2. Para, welcome to WP. You may wish to use the search function to find out past feedback on those strobes (or any other thing really). It's the fastest way to find out information on WP. Then you can ask specific questions after you know more about what you are looking for.

    Good luck.

  3. Hey Stu, good to see you on here mate. There's a LOT of info you'll find around. Happy reading!

  4. A few things to consider when strobe shopping, especially if you do much dive travel. You probably already know this stuff, so this is just a reminder (based on your primary subjects).

    Light output & recycle time requirements (possible specs for over-kill)

    Size & wt of strobe (airlines getting more strict on wt limits)

    Type of battery used - AA, proprietary, etc (proprietary is usually costly & only available from limited sources)

    I've seen lots of guys with huge strobes mostly shooting macro. They complain about wt limits on planes, don't have a spare, etc. Lots of good strobes to choose from. Just be selective for your needs. And remember spares - stuff happens.
