Review Summary

How many of you remember your physics class? I certainly don’t. Color temperature and white balance can be a bit of a challenge—especially when shooting underwater—so let’s take a look at exactly what they are.
The Sea & Sea YS-02 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. It is best to connect the strobe to the housing with a fiber optic cable. Manual exposer control with this strobe is easy, since it has a ten-level power dial located on the back.
The YS-02 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.
An external flash is your most important accessory. The ocean is one big, blue filter. As you descend, the reds and oranges quickly become muted shades of blue and gray. Using a color corrected strobe light will bring back your subject's natural color.
The Sea & Sea Grip Stay is designed for compact digital camera housings with one compact external strobe or light. There is a space so a fiber optic cable can be passed through the grip in order to keep your gear streamlined.
Sea & Sea Fiber Optic L-Type Sync Cable. This Fiber optic cable is used to connect YS-series strobes to digital camera housings. It resists bending and has improved light-conducting efficiency.
The Sea & Sea Strobe Mask Set is used to attach the Sea & Sea Fiber Optic Cable to many manufacturers' underwater housings. The mask blocks the on-camera flash from exposing your subject. This prevents back-scatter. The grommet allows the cable to be attached in front of the on-camera flash so the light will trigger your external strobe.
The products are shipped and displayed in a precut foam insert and a soft carry bag ($75.00 value). This package is a great value for any compact digital owner looking to enhance their photography!
