Sea & Sea YS-D3 Duo Underwater Strobe: Professional Lighting for Dive Photography
Transform your underwater photography with the Sea & Sea YS-D3 Duo Underwater Strobe. Engineered for depths of up to 328 feet, this strobe delivers vibrant, natural lighting to bring your underwater adventures to life. Whether you're using Olympus OM RC, traditional TTL, or manual modes, the YS-D3 offers reliable performance and versatile functionality for photographers of all levels.
Enhanced Controls and Easy Operation
The YS-D3’s intuitive backlit control panel uses color-coded lighting—blue for DS-TTL II, orange for OM RC, and green for manual mode—making it easy to switch between settings, even in low light. You also get 11 manual light levels, ensuring precise control for your shots.
Powerful Target Light
Equipped with a 150/300-lumen LED target light, the YS-D3 can also double as a compact dive light, giving you more flexibility during your dives.
Reliable Power and Fast Recycle Times
The strobe is powered by four AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH). Enjoy fast recycle times of 3.5 seconds with alkaline batteries and just 1.7 seconds with NiMH cells, so you’re always ready to capture the action.
Seamless Connectivity and Mounting Options
The strobe features a 5-pin sync cord connector and a fiber-optic port for quick, reliable connections to your underwater camera housing (fiber-optic cables sold separately). It mounts securely with a straight-base ball mount, ensuring stability during dives.
- Impressive Depth Rating: Safely operates at depths of up to 328 feet, perfect for deep-sea photography.
- Wide Light Coverage: A 105° beam angle—expandable to 110° with the included diffuser—ensures soft, even lighting to reduce backscatter and harsh shadows.
- Daylight-Balanced Color Temperature: The 5800K light (or 5500K with diffuser) restores vivid colors lost underwater, making your photos pop with life.
- Aspherical Troidal Lenses: These lenses deliver even light dispersion, eliminating hot spots for professional-quality images.
