Which New Stobes

I have the Canon 20D in Aqauatica A20 housing, I'm looking for 2 new strobes (sold my YS90DX's with my Tetra) I found the YS90's to be a little under powered for me so what strobes would you recommend and are they a good compatible strobe for this camera. Thx

Hi,

I'd recommend looking at Ikelite DS125's. This is an ISO100 camera, so you need a fair amount of strobe power. The DS125's are 110 watt-seconds and throw a very wide pattern. That's why I like them.

I'd also recommend the Ikelite DS125. Not only for the reasons James wrote, but also because I just purchased the Aquatica A20 housing, sold my YS-120 strobes and bought 2 DS-125s. I also purchased 2 Manual Controllers and 1 Smart Charger. Now I am wrestling with the idea of getting a second Smart Charger or another Battery. I'll probably get a second charger since 3 batteries won't do much good if the charger dies on a trip.

I would just skip the manual controllers - I find the 4 position controller (plus diffuser) to be plenty of different settings. A number of photographers on the Wetpixel Bahamas trip did just that and were very happy with their results.

Your mileage may vary of course...

Cheers

James
