What Strobes is every one using ?

2 posts
  1. Was just wondering what strobes others were using with their new rigs.

     

    I have been trying some DS125 Ikelites out with some success until one stopped working dive 2 I guess I have get some of that first class customer service to fix my new broke strobe,

    I have also been trying the sea Sea 90DX as a main strobe - boy they are just the most reliable thing i have had for a long time, Been giving the YS350 for wide angle a go to but they tend to run out of sting/ battery so quickly

     

    Wondering what developments we can expect in strobes in the nexr few years.

     

    Any clues ??????????

  2. Hi Peter,

     

    Personally I am not worried about TTL compatability - but as a Nikon user it would be nice to have strobes that are compatible with Nikon's CLS (Creative Lighting System).

     

    Imagine being able to take down an extra 3 remote groups of strobes and control their output centrally and wirelessly from your camera.

     

    But for now I use some old Subtronic Alphas. They are heavy and not 100% reliable. But they are very powerful, recycle time in non-existant and produce lovely warm light. Probably contribute more to my pix than any other piece of kit I use.
