The DS160 combines power with wide angle coverage to give you the most bang for your buck. The quality of light is exceptional due to a round flash tube and custom powder coated reflector designed specifically to deliver the softest, most even coverage possible. Strobes with a straight flashtube may be capable of high powers, but require the addition of a diffuser to spread out their sharp, rectangular beam pattern and reduce the harsh hot spot.

Strobes with a straight flashtube may be capable of high powers, but require the addition of a diffuser to spread out their sharp, rectangular beam pattern and reduce the harsh hot spot. The DS161 beam is designed to be perfectly soft and wide spread through its reflector design, and is capable of providing you the coverage and power you want and avoiding the one f/stop loss caused by adding a diffuser.

Strobes with a straight flash tube may be capable of high powers, but require the addition of a diffuser to spread out their sharp, rectangular beam pattern and reduce the harsh hot spot. With the 2nd. Generation, state of the art Li-ion battery technology, produces over 450 full power flashes at an unprecedented 1.4 second recycle time.

State of the art Li-ion battery technology produces over 450 full power flashes at an unprecedented 1.4 second recycle time. Ikelite's proprietary quick-release toggle system attaches the battery pack with ease and confidence, making a flooded battery virtually impossible.
The AF35's built-in sensor transmits data from the camera's flash to the AF35 strobe, varying the strobe's power automatically to replicate TTL exposure. The AF35 sensor is positioned to provide the most reliable strobe triggering possible without exposed cables which require maintenance and can tangle or break.
Amazingly compact and so light youll barely notice it, the new UFL-3 underwater flash is a serious tool for serious divers. Waterproof to an incredible 246 feet (75 meters), this adaptable flash is specifically designed to work seamlessly with a number of Olympus camera/underwater housing combinations.
We set out to strip the underwater strobe down to the essence of form + function. To start, we developed Pre-Flash Recognition Technology, giving the strobe a unique ability to automatically adjust to almost any camera's pre-flash sequence or lack of pre-flash. There's no switch or magnet, not even a "set" button for this feature. The Manta can set and reset itself on-the-fly, even if you switch from a pre-flash to a non-preflash mode in-between shots underwater.
In a real world, side-by-side comparison, the DS160 remains one of the brightest strobes on the market. More importantly, the quality of light is exceptional due to a round flashtube and reflector designed specifically to delivery the softest, most even coverage possible.
