The Sea & Sea YS-01 Solis Underwater Strobe (Product No. 03124) delivers professional lighting performance in a compact, travel-friendly package. Upgraded with Sea & Sea’s advanced DS-TTL II circuitry, the YS-01 Solis automatically reads light intensity from your camera's internal flash to calculate perfect flash exposure underwater. For photographers wanting full control, it features a 10-step manual control dial (GN 1 to 20). Its custom prism lens provides an ultra-wide 100° x 100° beam angle with smooth, even coverage—preventing harsh hot spots in macro and wide-angle shots.
