Dive deeper and capture every detail with the Kraken Sports KR-S160 Flash. This strobe is designed for both professional underwater photographers and enthusiastic beginners, offering unmatched power and versatility.

Key Features:

  • High Power Output: With 160-watt seconds of power, the KR-S160 delivers exceptional lighting for macro, close-focus wide-angle, and big animal photography.
  • Ring-Shaped Flash Tube: This tube produces a much more even light compared to competitors' flashes that don't use a ring, ensuring your shots are perfectly illuminated.
  • User-Friendly Design: Ergonomically improved for ease of use, the KR-S160 is powered by a 2x 21700 battery pack, charged via a single USB-C port, making charging simple without needing specialized chargers.
  • Depth Rating: Reliable up to 330ft/100m, perfect for deep dives.
  • Lightweight: Weighing just 300g underwater, it's easy to handle and maneuver.
  • Fiber Optic and Electronic Sync Compatibility: Unlike the S80, the KR-S160 supports both fiber optic and electronic sync, offering more flexibility in your setup.
  • RC02 Remote Control Compatibility: The RC02 remote control allows you to adjust brightness, switch between flash and LED mode, and control up to two flashes simultaneously or independently.
  • Rotatable OLED Screen: This screen easily displays your mode and the number of flashes remaining at the current charge level, ensuring you're always informed.
  • Rugged Build: Made with an anodized aluminum body, the KR-S160 is exceptionally strong and durable.
  • Neutral Buoyancy: The optional float collar achieves complete neutral buoyancy underwater, making it even easier to handle.
  • Perfectly Diffused Beam: This product is packaged with both white and ambient water diffusers to ensure a perfectly diffused beam for your shots.
