Strobes......

[PapaZ]

Looking for a strobe to slave to my Canon PS 790 to use in our Northwest waters.

Recommendations and prices would be appreciated.

Check with Jack at Optical ocean sales. He has a couple of reasonably priced units that would work well with that camera. One is the Fantasea nano strobe and the other is the Ultramax uxds-1 both can be had for around $200.00 and will slave off of your camera just fine. There are allot more expensive units, and I do mean ALLOT more but for a point and shoot it just isn't needed.

If you want something inexpensive, look at Intova ISS2000 http://www.intova.net/strobekit.html. You can find them at Amazon, Buy.com, Ebay, etc. Sync cable usually sold separately. I'm using two of these with Canon A570 - so far so good.

Yep, Same strobe as the ultramax but they are selling only the strobe head and you will need the fiber optic cable and a tray and arm settup. The ultramax comes with the cable but you still need the arms and tray.

Thanks for the information.
Really appreciated as open to all suggestions.

Just to clear this up:

The Intova 2000 is last year's model. It is NOT the same as the UltraMax, i does not have a sealed battery compartment nor come with a sync cord. BTW, I have a better cord attachment now available and a diffuser is coming shortly.
