Questions & Answers

Dean H : I'd like to use two of these strobes and need to make sure the sync cords I get are the right ones. My housing has the Nikonos V connectors and I'd like to make sure I get the right cords from the start. I would probably need to buy two strobes with the right Nikonos V sync cords and one Smart Charger, then I'll need to save up for some arms to make the ultimate lighting system. Are there any KITS or am I stuck with AlaCarte?KENT K : I believe that you can find strobes with arms. I have never seen dual strobe arm sets You will probably need to by the dual cord separately. I have ike lite housing and had to buy a separate dual cord. I have many arm parts from the past so I only purchased the strobes. Didn't think the sets were much of a deal. Hope this helps.

Ikelite DS-161

I upgraded from a 10 year old DS-125 that we still use and find the 161 to be even better with the improved aiming light and increased manual controls. The "video" light is lacking a bit to be used as a true video light even if you have two but they work great for aiming and dive lights.

About Ikelite 4061 DS161 Movie Substrobe Underwater Flash

The DS161 Movie Substrobe combines all of the functionality of our renowned DS160 with a powerful 500 lumen LED video light. This strobe is everything you need for stunning photos and video.

Strobe Coverage Professional photographers all over the world prefer the wide and even coverage of our specially made circular flashtubes. The slightly warm color temperature provides rich, natural tones for beautiful macro, portraits and landscapes.

Strobe Compatibility The DS161 Movie Substrobe is compatible with all Ikelite TTL systems and current digital cameras, as well as all older TTL film cameras including the Nikonos system. A variety of sync cords, sensors, and TTL adapters are available to connect to almost any camera system currently on the market.

Strobe Power The DS161 recycles in a quick 1.5 sec from full discharge. When fired at a fractional power - whether in TTL or manual mode - the strobe recycles virtually instantaneously. Number of flashes per full charge will increase dramatically in most cases when using in TTL mode with a compatible camera system. The powerful DS161 is adjustable in 10 half-stop increments for precise control over your exposure when used in manual mode.

Movie Light Coverage Three super-bright LEDs are arranged behind a special optical element to provide 45 degrees angle of coverage free of hotspots. The daylight balanced color temperature brings out true, natural colors with or without the use of a color correcting filter

Movie Light Modes With the strobe set to the "Batt w/Lite" position, the movie light is adjustable between 100% and 50% power in 10 fractional power settings. An "SOS" mode emits the universal signal for help in an emergency situations.

With the strobe set to the "On w/Lite" position, the movie light doubles as an aiming light for focusing or night diving. The light automatically turns off and back on when the strobe fires so there is no effect on photos.

Movie Light Burn Time Custom circuitry and highly efficient drivers provide 5 hours of continuous burn time on a fully charged battery with no waning effects. Continuous use of the light at full power reduces number of full power flashes by less than 15%.

Accessories The #4061 DS161 comes standard with rechargeable NiMH battery pack and flash diffuser. The NiMH battery pack requires #4066.1 Smart Charger, not included. A variety of strobe mounts and arms are available for attachment to to almost any system.

The DS161 accepts the same #4066.5 NiMH module used on our DS125 and DS160 Substrobes. If you .
