Underwater Photography Strobes

Sea and Sea YS-250 Pro Strobes

USE WITH AQUATICA OR NAUTICAM DSLR HOUSINGS

"The top-of-the-line strobe from Sea and Sea is the fastest and most powerful strobe we sell."

The YS flagship model for professionals is fast and powerful with broad coverage: guide number 32, beam angle 105.

YS-250 Pro

Features

Amazing power to help you capture any subject you aim at.

The YS-250PRO is designed for demanding professionals, packed with revolutionary new features to meet the challenges of digital photography. A large circular arc tube emits a powerful flash at guide number 32 (its value on land, ISO 100/m) when power is set to FULL. It provides incremental manual flash power adjustment in 12 steps for graduations of light.

The YS-250PRO is lightning fast: it recycles in 1.8 seconds. Its high-capacity Ni-MH battery, designed exclusively for the strobe, stores enough power when fully charged for 200 full flashes. A high-luminosity white LED target light in the center of the strobe shows precisely where the strobe is pointed, and a ready lamp and a TTL confirmation lamp on each side of the strobe indicate when the strobe is charged and when it has been controlled by the camera’s TTL. An audible signal sounds when the lamps light so you can concentrate on your subject in the viewfinder.
