Sea Dragon Universal Flash

Have owned several sealife cameras, enclosures with video light and now the Dragon strobe that shrank my camera kit down in size from original sealife strobe that was much bigger. Same amount of batteries 4AAI experienced going through a set of batteries in about 60 minutes. I found that turning flash off until needed gave me certainty of flash for full hour dive times. I like the compact size with easy to reach control’s. Defuser flop’s around if not in use. I’ll try some different batteries to compare..In general I like this flash would recommend sealife/Dragon products

Flash works as designed, the camera shuts off the red filter if using forced flash, thus reducing color.My DS2000 worked with it...if I set the ISO on High Auto and Flash on auto demand. I needed to put a Velcro cover over the quick release to keep the glass tube in place and also keep my wrist restraint attachment from opening the release button. The quick connect really needs a safety secondary button to reduce accidental arm release....thus the Velcro collar over it to act as a safety. comfortable to use....I used mine with one bendable quick release arm extension...and it worked well. 2 additional arm extensions are too unwieldy and heavy....and moved/bent with underwater movement. I had bought 2 strobes...but only ended up using one during my recent 18 dives in Bonaire. When I got home, I drilled 4 holes in the base plate ( two at each end of the base inside and softened the edges) to hold my various wrist cords and lens cover parts....rubber bands to hold them while underwater to keep them out of the camera view.

Easy calibration, good battery life. Using it with an Olympus TG-6. The added light extension handle doesn't have much flexibility.

This flash does not come with a battery nor charging cord for the battery. The assumption would be you’d have everything included since this is a unique battery for this item. Now I’ll have to go out and purchase a battery would’ve been nice to get everything in one package.

Used on 13 dives in Belize, worked great. Two dives days per set of AA batteries. The flash often charges faster than the camera which is what syncs the flash to fire.

The kit fits exactly to the camera.

does not work with a sealife micro 3.0. Found this out only after buying the flash. if you don't have a flash on your camera or a port for the micro wire, this flash will not work on your camera.

It worked only the first day, then nothing. Three / four test shots just came the expedition, everything seemed ok and I kept waiting for the good weather. Unfortunately I could not ask for replacement because when I started to immerse myself for photos were gone now 10 months. The flash mode is always in charge, but no charge ever !!! The only result I get is throwing away money by replacing batteries. I do not know where to turn to try to get it running .... 350 € spent in vain! What a disappointment!!!

vor allem, weil sich die Blitzstärke ganz leicht unter Wasser verändern läßt.Ich habe ein ziemlich billige Kamera von Nikon, die bis 30m Wasserdicht ist und da ist der Blitz dazu schon sehr super.Ein bißchen mühsam ist das System mit dem Lichtleiterkabel. Da hätte mir eine Art "Sklavenblitz" besser gefallen, weil wenn man nicht aufpaßt hat man das Kabel vorm Objektiv. Und besonders gut halten diese Selbstkleberklettbänder auch nicht auf der Nikon.

Ich nutze es mit eine flex Verlaengerung. War am Anfang misstraurisch, da Erstversuche zu fotografieren fehlgeschlagen sind. Dann habe ich endlich die Bedienung gelesen und Blitz erfolgreich mit der Kamera synchronisiert. Funkzioniert einwandfrei. Jetzt habe ich Farben, die frueher nicht zu sehen waren.Glaube das ist ein sehr gutter Blitz fuer Hobby Fotographie. Kann es fuer Urlaubstaucher nur empfehlen.Anbei einige der ersten Fotos die ich gemacht habe.

La recensione non è su prodotto comprato per sbaglio e non compatibile con la macchina fotografica ma sul venditore. Giudizio sul venditore assolutamente negativo. Ho dovuto attivare il reclamo in quanto il venditore non ha mai risposto o ha risposto un nodo errato, non in italiano e senza essere minimamente collaborativi alla mia richiesta di tesi arrivata un giorno dopo aver ricevuto il flash

Excellent results but only works from 8'. Takes a bit of getting used to. Need patience and practice as with all scuba phototech.
