Questions & Answers

ALAN V : Do these flashes sync with the internal strobe of a compact camera in housing (without fiber optic wires) such that they become slaves and triggered when the internal camera flash works?Andrew B : Dear Alan, They do , they are designed to work with sea life, I would not use them with another camera such as a mirrorless or other compact cameraDANIEL A : Not without the fiber optic wires. the instructions are online.WAYNE K : They require an optical cable connection even if not coupled with a Sea Life DC2000 camera. They come with a kit to connect to a non-Sea Life camera to the fiber optics. They are the best strobes I have used. Videographer on our last trip had her battery compartment flood. Cleaned it and packed the battery and strobe in rice. Next day worked just fine. The strobe electronics are isolated from the battery which is the one everyday opening location/O ring. Excellent feature.
Marketa M : Is this product compatible with this setup: meikon 60m/195ft underwater waterproof camera housing diving kit for sony dsc-rx100 IV?YAN G : Not familiar with that housing. If it has a tripod attachment on the bottom, and it is centered, and the dimensions are not larger than the DC1400, then it should work.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MICHAEL G : Need strobes
