OneUW ONE160X II Underwater Digital Strobe

Project

Careful listening to your needs, OneUW's know-how, and the solution.

A power suitable for wide angle photos, even backlit or the most technical macro, without increasing ISO sensitivity on your digital cameras.

A high-quality light without any compromise, with a wide, uniform coverage and a slightly warm color temperature.

Modern, highly efficient electronics are versatile, with sync cable and fiber-optic cable connections supported by Nikon, Canon, and Sony TTL digital protocols, installed on board and selectable by the user.

The strobe's firmware is upgradable directly by the user via App-Bluetooth to correct, improve or add new functionality.

The high-speed synchronization (HSS) mode is an exciting high-end feature in auto flash digital TTL and manual flash exposure modes.

A strobe simple to use, with ergonomic controls and easy-to-read settings.

A quality product, extremely robust and reliable.

• Fast recycling times, managed by CPU, from 0.1 to 1.6 seconds

Connections

Full interface, no limitations on use.

• The strobe has an S6-type sync cable socket and a Sea&Sea fiber-optic cable socket.
• The connections arranged in line on the body back make it easier to operate the main controls and protect the cables from the stress of accentuated bending, thanks to their natural orientation.
• An optical receiver is located on the front reflector for slave flash mode.

Sync cables

There is a perfect dialogue between the camera and the strobe.

• To ensure optimum data transmission between the digital cameras and OneUW's strobe, OneUW has commissioned, based on OneUW's technical specifications, a sync electric cable with high-quality multi-wire conductors and special outer coatings that are exceptionally flexible and resistant to use in the marine environment.
• All connector components are designed and manufactured in anticorodal aluminum with hard anodizing treatment or molded with the best technical polymers.
• The connections available in OneUW's system are the classic NikonosV and the very reliable S6.

Accessories

Everything you need for your needs.

• A pair of spherical adapters with straight and 45° angled versions will allow you to interface with all the strobe arms available on the market.
• The neoprene cover of the body and the dome will ensure the unit's protection and generate good buoyancy to the system in water.
• A series of accessories for light shaping, diffusers, and snoots are currently in production.
