Strobes for "mini" kit

6 posts
  1. For my main rig (Fujifilm X-T3 in a Nauticam housing) I have a couple of Z240s, plus two Kraken video lights - handy for video on my DSLR or the GoPro mounted to the cold shoe.

    But I've also now got hold of a second hand TG6 with the PT-059 housing, with no other accessories. I'd like to set it up as a small but somewhat capable rig, either for me when I don't want to take my real kit, or for my partner who's more a happy snapper memory maker than keen photographer.

    So looking for opinions for a pair of strobes. I'm thinking, in order of preference (unless convinced otherwise) of Inon S2000 (or wait for the S220?), Sea & Sea YS-01, or Backscatter Mini 2.

     

     

     

  2. If I was doing it I'd go with the INON, nice little strobe, reliable and use the same batteries as your current strobe.

  3. I quite like the BS Mini-2 flash. Different battery of course but perfectly fine for most shooting.

  4. I have a backscatter MF1 kit that I am looking to sell. I have not posted it here yet.

     

    Backscatter MF-1, OS-1 (snoot) , 1x 18650 battery, and 2-slot Battery Charger.

    If you wanted two, I'de be willing to part with my MF-1 as well...

  6. Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather get a S-TTL strobe. I've never used TTL, and I am unlikely ever to use it, but for the type of photography my partner wants it for, I'd rather have the option than not.

    That's why the YS-01 and MF-2 are on my list, and not the YS-03 or MF-1.
