In Topic: Which strobe for an Olympus EPL-1/PT-EP01?

20 May 2013 - 02:14 PM

Second on the Inon D2000, S2000, or Z240 with fiber optic cable.


In Topic: Flooded Z240 (and how it could be saved temporarily)

Could you send a link to the extra O-ring? I am in the USA and not sure where to start looking because every Inon strobe comes with an extra O-ring.

 

You are right in that the battery compartment is not sealed from the electronics. The capacitor can fry at any time. Inon Customer Service will say you over heated the strobe by firing it too often. The manual says you can fire only every 30 seconds. (Yeah, right!??!) Then they will offer to sell you one at a discount (their cost).

 

I carry an extra stobe, housing, and camera on long trips.


In Topic: Powerful focus light instead of strobe?

Can you raise your flash inside the housing? If you can the flash enough for the flash to work, strap a fiber optic cable and use a real strobe. A focus light is fine for video, but nothing comes close to the quality prints produced by a strobe.

In Topic: Looking for inexpensive red focus/modeling light for night dives

18 March 2013 - 01:36 PM

It is not cheap, but I love the Sola 600 photo (now Sola 800 photo). Turns red with a switch. Three levels of white and three levels of red. Very bight white. Our entire group each bought one (or two). It is very small, compact, has external charging port, so flooding is not really an issue. Just do not mistake it with the Sola 800 dive light.

 

I started with the Big Blue, but it has not been wet since, save your money.
