Product Information
SEA & SEA YS-01 SOLIS (DOES NOT INCLUDE FIBER OPTIC CABLE)
The Sea & Sea YS-01 Solis is an underwater strobe for camera housings, built with a guide number of 20 (ISO 100/m, land), a depth rating of 75m/250ft, and DS-TTL II exposure control delivered through a fiber-optic sync cord connection.
Who it is for
The YS-01 Solis suits divers who already shoot with a camera housing set up for fiber-optic sync and want TTL exposure control from a strobe that runs on standard AA batteries. Sea & Sea notes that genuine Sea & Sea fiber-optic cables are recommended for TTL operation, since third-party cables may affect TTL performance. The strobe sits in the Sea & Sea strobe lineup alongside higher-power models such as the YS-D130R and YS-D3 DUO.
