New Strobe From Fantasea - Code Name
By Jason Heller, August 26, 2008 @ 02:00 AM (EST)
Fantasea Line is about to announce the addition of a new strobe, specially designed for compact digital housings.
They are looking for suggestions for a new name for this strobe. For now they are referring to it as the "X Flash". If you can think of a good name for the strobe, and they select your idea, you'll win a Slave Flash with an arm, tray, and Focus light package (Fantasea Nano Double Pro Housing System)...and the legacy of naming a piece of underwater photo equipment. Hey, sounds like it's worth a shot.
A little info on the new strobe
The new Fantasea X Flash features four different pre-flash settings, to cover the needs of all compact digital cameras in the market, including Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, Kodak, Panasonic and more.
It features a guide number of 20, and therefore compatible for both macro and wide angle shots. The power output can be manually adjusted to provide the most accurate amount of light in all conditions and a short recycle time ensures quick responsiveness even when using the maximum power output.
The Fantasea X Flash also features a built-in Y-S Mount for attaching a focus light on top of the flash, sparing the need for an additional arm.
Among the features and specifications of the upcoming Fantasea X Flash:
* Adjustable power output (10%-100%)
* 4 pre-flash settings
* Powerful 4.2 W-second flash-tube
* Guide Number 20 (ISO 100 in air)
* Flash diffuser included
* Uses 4 x AA batteries
* Approx. 240 flashes per set of batteries
* Quick recycle time
* Slave sensor
* Attachment for fiber optic cable
* Beam angle 80 degress horizontal
* Color temperature 5400K
* Y-S Mount for focus light
* Depth rated to 55m/180 feet
