Sea & Sea YS-D3 Lightning TTL Strobe
MK 11 Simply The Best YS-D3 Underwater Strobe
The Sea and Sea YS-D3 Lightning TTL Strobe is Controlled lighting, high precision circuitry enabling the YS-D3 to fire at any moment.
The YS-D3 is A Very High-Performance Strobe
Has the latest D3 circuitry and light-emitting strobe produce a powerful guide number of 33. A newly developed high precision aspherical optical troidal lens has been fitted over the two flash tubes to disperse an even light from the centre to the edge. The strobe’s beam angle will increase to 100° or 120° by attaching standard diffuser accessories. When the optional Dome diffuser is attached, the beam angle will increase to 150°.
Superior Consecutive Firing Capability to Capture those Critical Moments
- Mode switch Battery cap
- Target light switch
- EV control dial
- Ready lamp / TTL confirmation lamp
The YS-D3 utilises larger capacity condensers compared with those used on competing strobes. In addition, the D3 is also equipped with a newly designed charging circuit. As a result, the YS-D3 will fire at GN16 continuously without any interval time. Even when the strobe is fired at GN22, the strobe will fire again within a mere 0.6 seconds. When the YS-D3 is fired at Guide Number over 22, a two-stage ready-to-fire signal will be issued. For instance, after the strobe fires at full power of GN33, the strobe will inform you both visually and audibly when the condenser is charged to fire at GN22. Then, when the condenser is charged enough to fire at GN33, another different signal will be issued.
This design allows you to release more shutters in scenes where you want to shoot as many pictures as possible, maximising shooting intervals between scenes.
YS-D3 Strobe target light has a huge increase in power and Incorporates a uniquely designed aluminium heat diffuser. The target light is now powerful enough to be used as a dive light.
Excellent visibility
Backlight panel that is effective when shooting in dark environments The indicator colour on the back of the YS-D3 changes each time the position of the mode switch is changed. Blue (in DS-TTLII mode), light blue (in slave TTL mode), orange (in manual mode with pre-flash), and green (in manual mode without pre-flash) The positioning of the operating system is distinct during night diving.
* The colour in DS-TTLII mode has been changed from the YS-D2 to match the colour with the optical converter.
Connection method with the arm that can be selected according to preference
YS-D3 comes with a straight type ball base.
Optional YS base and new Diagonal ball base can be installed depending on the application.
YS base (common to YS-D1 / D2 / D3)
Traditional YS base. Easy vertical swing.
Diagonal ball base (only for YS-D3)
A ball base inclined at 35 ° compared to the straight type. This makes it easier to lower the strobe backwards, making it suitable for shooting when using a dome port. Also, when a Synchro Cord N is installed, interference between the cord and the ball clamp is minimized.
YS-D3 Optional Accessories
S&S-28115 YS-D3 Snoot
A strobe adaptor which narrows the beam angle to be directed at a target point. The diameter of the opening 25mm. Designed with an internal prism which aligns target light`s light axis and strobe`s light axis to the centre.
