stuartv 31 Posted January 20, 2021 That looks very interesting! I have questions if anyone knows the answers: What is the price on the D-Max? What does "1st mode" and "2nd mode" mean? How many frames per second constitutes "high speed continuous shooting"? Can the user change the 18650 batteries in the battery pack? How much does a replacement battery pack cost? Does it support HSS? Does it support TTL? Also, their website says: "All Scubalamp models and products have been rigorously tested and confirmed reliable up to 100 meters before can be released to market." But, the D-Max page says it's only rated to 60m. Any idea what the real depth rating is? 60m is not enough for my plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bvanant 179 Posted January 20, 2021 It is interesting that the D-Max does not appear on the US Scubalamp website Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though I think it's safe to say the battery pack won't be user servicable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitescuba has them for sale via Aliexpress for $1153/unit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002021742834.html Looks like a straight reincarnation of YS-250. Big, heavy, lots of power, circular bulb, but no advanced features like TTL or HSS, and the battery pack is proprietary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamhanlon 0 Posted January 22, 2021 No, we do not yet, but the manufacturer has undertaken to lend us a pair of strobes when we are in a position to test them. Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I'm likely to see many of these in the field... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
