Product Information

The Fantasea FA-3 LED Strobe Trigger is a fiber optic strobe trigger that fires underwater strobes and flashes in sync with a camera's hot-shoe connection, using fiber optic cables instead of the camera's built-in flash. It has 2 LED ports, a 10,000 flash capacity on a full charge, and connects to any camera featuring a hot-shoe connection.

Who it is for

This trigger is for underwater photographers who want to eliminate reliance on a camera's built-in flash when firing external strobes through a camera housing. Removing the built-in flash from the triggering process extends camera battery life, allows for longer shooting sessions, and reduces camera heat buildup, which helps limit condensation in humid conditions. It is also suited to photographers using Fantasea Mirrorless Housing models equipped with Fantasea's Hybrid Vacuum Safety System M16A.

110mAh Lithium Polymer battery, 1.5 hour charging time
Up to 10,000 flash capacity and up to 72 hours of battery life when fully charged
3 hour auto power-off time

Compatibility and sizing

The FA-3 can be installed inside any camera housing that offers a fiber optic slave strobe connection and sufficient space anywhere inside the housing for the main unit. It is also compatible with Fantasea's Mirrorless Housing models equipped with Fantasea's Hybrid Vacuum Safety System M16A. The trigger is capable of firing most underwater strobes on the market, with the exception of the Sea&Sea YS-D2, which cannot be triggered with the FA-3. For best and most reliable performance, use quality multi-core fiber optic cables. Note that strobe output is controlled manually only when using the LED Strobe Trigger.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.

New to this hanger...Now I'm a believer

Used tons of dive hangers, but never an upside down hanger. Game-changer for me. Will now add more of these in the near-future.

With it's swivel head design, it can cram itself into my tight dive locker, while still donning a ton of gear.

DiveCatalog's "Upside Down Drysuit Hanger w/ Regulator and Accessory Hooks" is a great product with solid construction at an affordable price. All of that with Dive Catalog's customer support/satisfaction guarantee.
