I have a Oly C750 UZ in a PT-018 housing, plus an Epoque wide angle lens. I am now looking at the options, makes & models of a strobe set up.
I need an simple set up (as I am a dweeb :oops: ) and have had a suggestion made that I should consider two video lights instead of a strobe, or one strobe one video light. My camera does not have a "focus beam" for night shots or shooting in dark places. I have never used an external flash set-up before so the easier the better. I am lost with which brand to purchase?? Inon, Ikelite, Epoque??? It is all so confusing. :?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Blaze
Hi Blaze,
The Inon strobes come highly recommended. I use an Inon D-180 myself and it is small, powerful and easy to use.
I also use a Ikelite SS200 strobe and it is a really great strobe so I'm sure their digital strobes are great as well but haven't used them. (Not really fond of the extra controllers).
Thanks Stefan for the web link. Great info!! Happy diving - Blaze
Hi lidde,
Do you know the difference between D180S and D180?
Thank you,
Yes, I believe so.
The D-180 has a full guiding light (bulb) while the D-180S only has two led lights (bright dots). The D-180 has 4 manual settings for strobe output together with External Auto Mode, while the D-180S only has the External Auto Mode.
Apart from that I believe the two strobes are identical.
