The Substrobe DS51 covers the equivalent of a 28mm lens. The
DS51's intensity and angle of coverage make it equally suited for
macro and general photography.

For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend
adding an external DS-digital strobe connected to the housing with
a #4103.51 TTL Sync Cord and a SA-100 Ball/socket arm ((PPaaggee #
#1188)).
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm,
even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from
the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the
illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate
backscatter. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the
DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller
provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.

The Substrobe DS160
covers the equivalent of
an 18mm lens or 100
degrees w/diffuser
installed. It is the ideal
choice when using
accessory wide angle
lenses greater than
28mm. It also features a
1.5 second recycle time
and 225 flashes per full
charge.

The SA-100 system #4086.61
with its 1" diameter ball is ideal
underwater. The #9571.3
extended stem mount allows
easy attachment of the EV
controller or flashlight mount,
and drops right into the release
handle. The arm system allows
easy strobe placement from
macro close-up to wide angle
without changing aim of the
Sensor. The complete system
removes with a push of the
handle button.
