OPTIMA underwater strobe / videolight

– Best TTL accuracy. TTL control system inside the strobe is created by the leading manufacturer of TTL systems on the market, – Underwater Technics company. All original TTL Converters contain TTL-profile specially developed for OPTIMA strobe support.

– Best HSS quality on the market. It allows shooting at shutter speeds up to 1/8000s without banding (!) on the image, – provided by the new methods of HSS control. Patent pending.

– Circular shape flash tube provides a very uniform lighting on the whole area of the shot, especially in combination with the spherical dome.

– Spherical dome is made of ultra-high temperature optical plastic. It has an anti-reflective coating of inner surface, just like the best optical dome ports.

– Extremely fast strobe recycling – 0.8 sec (after full flash dump).

– Flash light beam angle underwater – 140 degrees.

– Flash modes switching by the strobe knob: “TTL”, “HSS”, “M’.

– Intellectual flash control by camera menu via UWTechnics TTL-Converter, including “Flash Exposure Compensation (+/-)”, “Front/Rear curtain sync”, “Slow sync”, “TTL”, “HSS sync”, “M” (also available M flash power adjustment via camera scale / controls).

– Continuous (“serial”) shooting (under UWTechnics TTL-Converter control).

– “Multi-Flash” shooting at slow-speed synchronization (under UWTechnics TTL-Converter control.)

– Body and all parts are made of hard-anodized aluminum alloy,

– Flash power 160 Ws, Color Temperature 5500K,

– Pilot / focusing light 600 lumen with Auto-Off function during the flash. It also can be used as a comfortable torch for the night dive.

– Professional Video-light 18000 lumen, true colors CRI 92, Color Temperature 5000K.

– Video-light working time (at 18000 lumen): 45 minutes with large battery (8 cell), 18 minutes with small battery (4-cell).

– Logarithmic scale of video-light flux adjustment, which has advantages for professional video and human eye perception.

– Video-light adjustment range: 0….18000 lumen (8 steps).

– Video-light beam angle underwater – 140 degrees.

– Battery construction: 4 x 18650 cells (small battery), 8 x 18650 cells (large battery), including cell Balancing and Protection electronics.

– Battery compartment screw cover sealing has a dual o-ring.

– Battery compartment is internally sealed from the electronics of the strobe.

– Battery level indicator on the strobe body.

– Original traveling case has recesses for 2 spare batteries.

– Bayonet front mount, – for snoot, color filters, reflectors and other external accessories.

– Optional External Reflector (with bayonet mount) provides more narrow beam angle,- for different shooting tasks.

– Optical Snoot, External Reflector and Color Filters exist in the production plan in 2025.

– Certification CE and FCC.
