What is the difference between a strobe and a flash?
A strobe is a high-intensity light source that produces a single burst of light, while a flash is a continuous light source that emits a brief series of pulses. In underwater photography, strobes are commonly used for their powerful bursts of light, providing better illumination and freezing fast-moving subjects.
Are these strobes and flashes compatible with all underwater cameras?
Our strobes and flashes are designed to be compatible with a wide range of underwater camera models and housing systems. However, it is recommended to check the compatibility of specific products with your camera before making a purchase.
How do I control the power output of the strobes and flashes?
Most of our strobes and flashes come with adjustable power settings that allow you to control the intensity of light emitted. This feature is particularly useful when photographing different subjects at varying distances or in different lighting conditions.
Can I use these strobes and flashes on land?
While these strobes and flashes are primarily designed for underwater use, some models can also be used on land with certain camera systems. However, it is important to refer to the product specifications to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
How do I attach the strobes and flashes to my underwater camera?
Our strobes and flashes are typically designed to be mounted on underwater camera housing systems. They can be easily attached using mounting brackets or arms. It is recommended to refer to the product manuals or seek professional assistance for proper installation.
Do these strobes and flashes come with any warranty?
Yes, most of our strobes and flashes come with a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The duration of the warranty may vary depending on the brand and model. It is advisable to check the warranty terms and conditions before making a purchase.
Can I use multiple strobes or flashes at the same time?
Yes, many underwater photographers use multiple strobes or flashes to achieve optimum lighting effects. This allows for greater control over the lighting angles, direction, and overall illumination of the subject. However, it is important to ensure proper synchronization and compatibility between the camera, strobes, and flashes.
How can I take care of my strobes and flashes?
To ensure the longevity and performance of your strobes and flashes, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and care. This may include rinsing them with freshwater after each use, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures, and storing them in a cool, dry place.
