Ikelite DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter with CT1 Hotshoe Kit

Where creative possibilities meet technical precision, the DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter with CT1 Hotshoe Kit is a game-changer for both wide-angle and macro photographers. This innovative tool allows your camera to control the strobe output, freeing you to focus on adjusting your camera's settings, composing the perfect shot, and honing in on your subject.

The DL5 DS Link utilizes "Thru-the-Lens" (TTL) flash metering, a technology that enables the camera to evaluate the scene and communicate exposure information directly to the compatible flash. This means the camera automatically adjusts the power output of the external flash, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. TTL exposure is not only faster but also typically more accurate than manual settings, making it an essential tool for capturing perfectly exposed images, especially when dealing with fast-moving or fluctuating subjects.

Contrary to popular belief, TTL isn't just for macro photography. When shooting wide-angle or close focus wide angle (CFWA), you can set your camera to properly expose the background while the DL5 adjusts your strobe intensity for optimal exposure of the foreground.

Ikelite, the pioneer in introducing TTL for underwater strobes with Canon digital cameras, continues to set the standard for accuracy of Canon TTL flash protocol. The DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter is a testament to this legacy.

The kit also includes an electrical flash triggering feature, which is as easy to connect as screwing in a light bulb. This feature supports greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and fewer missed flashes compared to fiber optic triggering. Plus, the use of electrical TTL significantly extends strobe battery life.

The included CT1 TTL Hotshoe is essential for TTL operation with most Ikelite DL housings. The DL5 DS Link also offers the ultimate flexibility, allowing you to switch between TTL and manual flash exposure modes with a simple button push. A super bright LED indicator light shows your current mode at a glance. When in TTL mode, flash exposure (EV) compensation can be accessed quickly and easily through the camera's menus.

Fully supporting rear curtain sync flash modes, the DL5 DS Link is independently waterproof sealed and compatible with a wide array of camera models. Simply use a dual sync cord to fire two strobes in TTL from a single DL5 DS Link converter, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit.
