The housing

This housing is equipped with an optical manual strobe trigger (#50146). For those who do not need TTL photography but want rappid fire, the fiber optical cable connection enables manual fire of an optical controlled strobe.

The back acrylic panel is more than twice as large as before to improve the visibility of the monitor and reduce the underwater weight. Furthermore, it is a sustainable design that can be used with new cameras in the future with minimal parts replacement. Newly designed fiber-optic cable cover are included. Prevents the optical cables from falling out and smartly protects light-emitting panels with a strap to prevent loss of the cover.

The Leak Alarm Unit, which was previously available as an option, is now included as standard equipment. It is effective not only for the early detection of underwater flooding accidents but also for the protection of equipment by checking its waterproof performance before entering the water. CR2032 lithium battery included.

Strobe sync options

Option 1. Optical TTL converter (#50151). Compatible with SEA&SEA “Optical YS Converter S1” which converts the strobe light emission signal of the camera to LED light and synchronizes with Sea&Sea YS strobes. It is a high-performance converter that does not just emit simple light-emitting signals, but also performs TTL auto light control.
Option 2. Electrical connection. Strobe connector/N (#50147) & Sync Cord 2-pin bulkhead contact (#50122). Let's you connect YS strobes electrically with an optional sync cord.
