Inon S220 Underwater Strobe Review
The Inon S220 is the latest flash from Inon, sporting a compact build, guide number f/22 flash power, and a dome diffuser system. The Inon S220 is the successor to the Inon S-2000, with a brighter, wider flash beam and larger improved controls, making this strobe much easier to use in cold water with gloves than its predecessor and easier to use in general. The Inon S220 is competitive with other entry-level strobes, making it an appealing option for macro, close focus wide angle, and smaller wide-angle scenes. In this video, we break down the Inon S220, everything you need to know about it, and how it compares to all the other strobes on the market right now. At Backscatter, we take the testing of strobes very seriously in order to provide our customers with the most accurate comparison between different models. As there isn't any industry standard for measuring strobe performance, we rely on our in-house testing process. Our testing process includes underwater testing of the strobe's guide number and beam pattern using a professional light meter inside a custom-made housing. We also conduct on-land testing of the strobe's color temperature, recycle time, and flash duration using a light meter and a spectrophotometer in a controlled environment. With this information, we are able to compare all of the strobes we sell on an even playing field.
