SEA&SEA announces new strobe
SEA&SEA just announced a new version of the YS110 – the new YS110 Alpha. Keyfeatures are a guide number of 22 (land), and increased beam angle of 105 degrees, a LED Focus Light and – besides a classical Nikonos connector – a improved optical TTL function. More infromation here.
The YS-110α introduces numerous new exciting functions, opening a whole new digital generation. For example, by connecting it to digital cameras
with pre-flash function using a fiber-optic cable, the YS-110α can be used in the fully automatic DS-TTL adjustment mode (Digital Slave TTL). Enjoy complete creative control ‒ when you want absolute control over fine light adjustments, you can use a main strobe in DS-TTL mode and a secondary strobe in manual mode or you can set up an advanced lighting setting using two strobes in DS-TTL mode. The DS-TTL adjustment function is also available using the light level control dial for fine control of the light amount when taking pictures in DS-TTL mode.
You can also choose from 13 levels of manual controls when you do not want to leave the light adjustment up to the camera. The flat, round, 105° beam angle (with diffuser), achieved by the balanced positioning of the 3 flash tubes, and the power of a Guide Number 22 are examples of the excellent performance of the strobe that is sure to satisfy even the most demanding professionals.
