About Ikelite Receiver

Just enhance your underwater photography experience with the precision and convenience of the RC1 Olympus and Panasonic TTL Receiver for DS Strobes. This innovative and compact receiver is engineered to seamlessly integrate with your Ikelite DS strobe, providing you with accurate TTL (Through-The-Lens) exposure control via a fiber optic connection. When paired with a compatible camera equipped with RC flash mode, the RC1 TTL Receiver allows for direct communication of exposure data from the camera to the strobe, ensuring far more reliable and consistent results than traditional "slave TTL" modes.

Crafted with durability and high-quality standards synonymous with the Ikelite brand, this receiver is an essential tool for underwater photographers who demand versatility. Its compatibility with both Olympus and Panasonic camera systems makes it a top choice for professionals who utilize gear from multiple brands. The RC1 TTL Receiver requires an individual unit and compatible fiber optic cord for each strobe, with dual strobe setups necessitating two receivers.

For TTL Strobe Exposure, simply set your DS strobe to "TTL" and your camera's flash mode to "RC". This allows for automatic TTL exposure, calibrated by the camera's own system. Fine-tune the strobe's intensity with the camera's flash exposure compensation controls for perfect lighting in every shot. For Manual Strobe Exposure, adjust the strobe's output using the manual power settings on the strobe, and set the camera's flash mode to manual. Select the minimum flash output on the camera to trigger the DS strobe, conserving battery power while maintaining control over your lighting.

The RC1 TTL Receiver is designed to attach to an Ikelite DS strobe and is not intended for use with a housing bulkhead, nor is it compatible with non-Ikelite strobes or non-digital Ikelite strobes. Ensure your underwater housing and camera setup is compatible with this receiver by consulting the detailed compatibility list provided, which includes a range of Ikelite Housing Models, Non-Ikelite Housing Models, and Fiber Optic Cord Compatibility options.

Strobe Compatibility is specific to certain Ikelite DS models, and it is important to note that this product will not function with non-digital Ikelite strobes or strobes from other brands such as SEA&SEA or INON. By choosing the RC1 Olympus and Panasonic TTL Receiver for DS Strobes, underwater photographers can trust in a system that offers unparalleled control and reliability for capturing stunning underwater imagery.
