Sea & Sea USA has announced the release of the YS-D1 strobe. Originally previewed at DEMA, it features DS-TTLII exposure control with a compensation adjustment, slave triggering, an LED target light and a guide number of 32 to 20. The strobe has a native coverage of 80°, but this can be modified by using the (supplied) diffusers, which in turn results in the loss of some output. Hence with an 120° diffuser, the guide number is 20. The new strobe is powered by 4 AA batteries, and can be triggered via Nikonos or fiber optic methods.
It will be available from February 2012 at a retail price of $750.
The YS-D1 is the most advanced strobe SEA&SEA has produced in its 40 year history. Drawing on inspiration from the YS-110, YS-110 Alpha and YS-50Pro, the YS-D1 is robust in features, but compact in size.
The YS-D1 includes revolutionary technology such as DS-TTLII with exposure compensation adjustment, an auto-sensing slave switch, built-in high intensity LED target light, and a variable guide number from 32 to 20.
It's 25% more powerful and 10% smaller than the YS-110 Alpha and is compatible with fiber optic cable and 5-pin N-type sync cords. The YS-D1 comes standard with 2 diffusers and 2 strobe mounts and is powered by 4xAA batteries.
