How long does Ikelite D161 strobe last?
amyghansen replied to amyghansen's topic in Lights, Strobes, and Lighting Technique
That is such great information, Tinman! I really appreciate it. I will give your suggestions a try of draining the battery and doing some of the other maintenance. -
I am selling my sony A6300 Ikelite housing. It's in great shape. All works fine. It is the housing, the tray with 1 arm, 2 dome parts, 1 flat port and 2 extensions. Here are the details.

That's a great idea, Chris. Thanks for the suggestion. -
I have used my Ikelite D161 strobes a lot over the past 4 or 5 years. I think they are going, because they don't seem to flash at the brightest level -- or they need a long time to recharge to flash at that level. Has anyone had experience with telling when a flash is starting to go? And if there is a good way to test it? I appreciate any advice.

My Ikelite Strobe battery rebuild
amyghansen replied to K9Shadow's topic in Lights, Strobes, and Lighting Technique
Wow! This is amazing DIY. Thanks for posting with the pics. It's a great reference and so interesting to see what is inside of those battery packs. I need to replace mine battery, but I don't think I have the confidence try this. -
Hi Hans. I'm new to the site as well, but like you, I began diving in 1993! I have been taking underwater images for about 5 years, and joined to help improve my skills, as well as sell my old housing. Too bad it's not for the Canon EOS R you are looking for. Happy hunting.

I have a tough time finding small things as well. I have gotten better from practice and knowing critter environment. I wish I had a good dive guide to learn from. Some other things that seemed to have helped me was seeing eye reflection or a slight movement from the critter.

I have an Ikelite housing for my sony a6300 and it does not have a separate viewfinder. I was wondering if anyone ever tried to jerry-rig a separate viewfinder, like the Sea & Sea 0.8x Optical Viewfinder for a housing without a viewfinder. I was wondering if I could 3d print something that might work to hold this viewfinder onto the housing. I often take pictures in very lighted UW areas and I cannot use the screen to see what I'm shooting. So, I use the eyepiece, but it is pretty small and can be hard to see the details I want. Anyway - suggestions? Thanks!

Hi - I live in the Marshall Islands. I have been diving for years but only recently took up UW Photography. I use a sony A6300 and Ikelite housing. I take mostly macro photos and find floating in shallow water looking for creatures very relaxing.
