Overview
The Sea & Sea YS-01 is a compact
slave strobe that can be used for wide-angle or macro photography. With
its circular beam angle of 100 x 100° and a guide number of up to 20 it
is the perfect strobe for small Point & Shoot cameras or DSLRs. The
DS-TTL (Digital Slave TTL) feature gives you automatic exposure control
when shooting in slave mode. It is best to connect the strobe to the
housing with a fiber optic cable. For finer lighting control it is best
to shoot in manual mode. This is easy since the YS-01 has a ten-level
power dial located on the back of the strobe.
You can switch between
DS-TTL (Digital Slave TTL) and a ten-level manual control function, to
enable fine adjustment of the light level according to the
photographer's intentions. You can also set up a lighting system that
uses two strobes in DS-TTL mode. Power comes from four AA batteries for a
powerful and long-lasting strobe. You can enjoy taking pictures all day
long without having to recharge the batteries.
The
recycle time takes about two seconds with nickel-metal hydride
batteries (2700 mAh) for stress-free continuous shooting. The YS-01 is
furnished with a high-luminance white LED target light (1W) indicating
the optical axis of the strobe attached to its front face that is
effective for night diving.
The YS-01 is
powered by 4-AA batteries. You can get up to 330 flashes at full power
with NiMH batteries. With NiMH batteries you will get a blazing fast 1.9
second recycle time, so you will not miss all the action on the reef.
The YS-01 has a bright 1W LED target light, that is bright enough to use
as a dive light on night dives.
