This is a great strobe,. Very happy with purchase and would recommend to others. I use two of these strobes to provide good lighting for underwater shots.

This strobe is lightweight for travel. I just switched from another brand of strobes. The compact size of this strobe is more practical than other brands. The incremental settings to control the amount of light from the strobe works well for macro photography. When closing the battery compartment, the cover will click once in place. It takes 4 AA batteries. I wish it came with a rechargeable battery pack.

Excellent strobe, very compact and very easy to use, wether on manual or auto TTL. I specifically use it the greater percentage of the time, if not all, on Auto TTL, and don't have to worry much about exposure. It's not tremendously powerful, for wide , wide scales, however for up close with either macro or wide angle, it covers the fields of view quite nice nicely.

Had to get the other YS-01 to finish my system. Great penetration for deep photo shots (+30 meters) easy to use and compact strobe. Professional quality.

Great Strobe

Equipped with the same DS-TTL ll circuitry as superior Sea&sea's high-end models
The DS-TTL ll circuitry helps emit the correct amount of light automatically based upon light intensity from the camera's onboard flash. The strobe allows you to adjust light intensity stronger or weaker from programed standard exposure. With this function, even an inexperienced underwater photographer can instinctively control the desired amount of light.
Example: If you are using two YS-01 Solis strobes, one on the right and the other on the left, and there is white soft coral to the right of your photographic subject, you can just delicately lessen light intensity from the strobe on the right alone by just turning the light level control to minus. With the improved circuitry, you can realize desired lighting for all your underwater images in a breeze.
Increased light intensity from the target light
Compared with the predecessor model, lighting intensity of the YS-01 Solis' target light is 40% stronger increasing the visibility of the light axis has improved helps you understand position of the strobe position more accurately.
Superior light distribution and wide beam angle
Because of exclusively designed prism lens, the YS-01 Solis realizes a wide beam angle of 100 Degree x 100 Degree with ideal flat light distribution even when the accessory diffuser is not attached. With the diffuser, light will soften and beam angle will increase to 110 Degree x 110 Degree .
