About Ikelite DL1 DS

A revolutionary addition to underwater photography equipment, the DL1 DS Link Nikon TTL Converter with NT3 Hotshoe Kit is the latest advancement in Nikon TTL flash technology. This product is a testament to our pioneering efforts in introducing underwater TTL flash exposure for DSLR and mirrorless cameras.

The Nikon TTL, or "Thru-the-Lens" flash metering, is a sophisticated feature that allows the camera to evaluate the scene and communicate exposure information directly to the compatible flash. This automatic adjustment of the external flash power output eliminates the need for manual settings, making TTL exposure faster and often more accurate. This feature is particularly useful when capturing fast-moving subjects or those moving towards or away from the camera.

The DL1 DS Link Nikon TTL Converter is an essential tool for macro photography, allowing photographers to focus on framing and focus, while the camera and flash work together to ensure perfect exposure. For wide-angle or close focus wide angle (CFWA) shots, the DL1 adjusts your strobe intensity to correctly expose the foreground while the camera takes care of the background exposure.

As the first company to introduce TTL for underwater strobes with Nikon digital cameras, Ikelite continues to set the standard for Nikon TTL flash protocol accuracy. The DL1 DS Link features an easy-to-use electrical flash triggering system, offering greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and fewer missed flashes compared to fiber optic triggering. This electrical TTL system also significantly extends strobe battery life.

The included NT3 Nikon TTL Hotshoe is essential for TTL operation with select Ikelite DSLR and mirrorless housings. The DL1 DS Link offers ultimate flexibility, allowing photographers to switch between TTL and manual flash exposure modes with a simple button push. A super bright LED indicator light provides a quick mode confirmation.

The DL1 DS Link is independently waterproof sealed and compatible with a wide range of camera models. It supports rear curtain sync flash modes and allows firing of two strobes in TTL from a single DL1 DS Link converter using a dual sync cord. This product replaces Nikon TTL Converters # 4301 / 4301.2 / 4301.3.

The DL1 DS Link is compatible with a variety of Ikelite housings and Nikon cameras, as well as DS50, DS51, DS125, DS160, DS161, and DS200 strobes with specific serial numbers. Please note that it is not compatible with non-digital Ikelite strobes or non-Ikelite strobes. For sync cord compatibility, please refer to the specific Ikelite Housing to Ikelite Strobes models.

In conclusion, the DL1 DS Link Nikon TTL Converter with NT3 Hotshoe Kit is a groundbreaking tool that enhances the precision and ease of underwater photography.
