Magrone 9 Posted June 22, 2018 I received mine very fast after ordering from Japan, through the link Paolo mentioned. There are now Ebay listings trying to gouge would be buyers listing at $300 over retail with $50 shipping, making the total price $1000 per strobe. https://www.ebay.com/itm/INON-Strobe-Flash-Z-330-Underwater-ultra-wide (weitwinkel)-110-220-lumen-Lighting-EMS-Japan/263758486784?epid=25015326894&hash=item3d693b1d00:g:j7oAAOSwE7Jajft6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
synthetic 4 Posted June 27, 2018 Reef Photo told me there was an 8-month wait based on orders vs supply. Here's hoping that they can ramp up production sooner than that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magrone 9 Posted July 5, 2018 I've been ordering from Yuzo at uwdigitalcamera.com for ten years without any problems. They are a reputable dealer out of Japan, so the only drawback is an all Japanese manual. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brownegaz 2 Posted July 10, 2018 Several years ago I bought some underwater photography gear from Yuzo Kanda who ran https://www.uwdigitalcamera.com/store/ in Japan, I’m sure many other Wetpixelers bought gear from him as well as well I understood that the business was shut down last year when Yuzo retired. Like a lot of other UW photographers I have been trying to source new Inon Z330 strobes from various suppliers in Hong Kong, Singapore, here in Oz and the US. The only place that I’ve found that has been able to supply these was the new owner of the uwdidigitalcamera business Hideki who took it over last year. Because these new strobes are so bloody hard to get a hold of some suppliers who have stock are price gouging to take advantage of the shortage I found Hideki’s pricing quite competitive, he has shipped two strobes to me that are due early next week.I will update once Ive got my hands on them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
