Light source
This is a high-performance strobe that pursues quality of light, and its high luminous flux and wide beam angle are effective for wide-angle photography with fish-eye lenses and other wide-angle lenses. The strobe also features our proprietary light distribution technology.
High light intensity GN33
The light output has a guide number (GN) of 33, one of the highest among general-purpose underwater strobes. The use of two discharge tubes increases power and achieves GN 33 at full flashing.
Two discharge tubes
Uniform and even light distribution
The originally developed "aspherical toroidal lens" is placed in front of the light-emitting tube, and the two discharge tubes and the "aspherical toroidal lens" provide uniform and even light distribution to the periphery, making it an ideal light source for external Illumination.
Aspherical optical troidal lens
Adjust beam angle with diffuser
The beam angle is 80°×105° without the diffuser and 100°×110° with the included diffuser for soft lighting.
When the optional dome diffuser is attached, the beam angle increases to 150°×170°. The dome diffuser is effective when using a fisheye lens or when lighting with soft light (guide number is reduced by approximately -1.5 EV).
Without diffuser
With attached diffuser
(optional) Dome diffuser installed
Operability
Sea&Seas particular emphasis on ease of use, especially underwater handling. The more you use it, the more you will appreciate its easy-to-turn dial, easy-to-see panel display, and good underwater balance.
Large dial
Underwater operation is performed with the mode switch and light intensity control dial. The large dials are non-slip and the height difference allows smooth operation even when wearing thick gloves. It is designed to stop in steps with a click-click to minimize malfunctions.
Large dial
Easy-to-read backlit panel
The indicator color changes each time the mode switch is repositioned. Blue (in DS-TTLII mode), red (in RC mode), yellow (in manual mode with pre-flash), and green (in manual mode without pre-flash) are the different colors for identification, so positioning of the controls is easy to see even when night diving.
In DS-TTLII mode
In RC mode
In manual non pre-flash mode
Underwater Balance
YS-D3 DUO by Sea&Sea has almost zero buoyancy with the ball mount and clamp in place. Heavy underwater weight requires unexpected force to operate the clamp, but the YS-D3 DUO is unaffected by buoyancy, so operation is smooth. Even if you change the strobe position, the underwater balance of the entire housing set does not change significantly and you can feel how easy it is to handle.
Two patterns of target lights
The LED target light function is useful for focusing and checking the beam angle of the strobe. Choose either 300 lumens or 150 lumens depending on the situation.
300 lumen
150 lumen
One-touch battery replacement
The power source is AA batteries, which are widely distributed in general. Four of the same type (1.5V alkaline AA batteries and 1.2V nickel-hydrogen AA batteries). The battery box is opened and closed by a bayonet type that does not put a burden on the O-ring. It is a one-touch operation and does not require force like the screw-in type.
Hook for Fiber Optics
A hook for fiber-optic cable on the strobe body smartly guides the fiber-optic cable.
How to connect with the arm of your choice
A straight type ball base is included, but the YS base or Strobe Ball Base 35 can be attached as an option depending on the application.
(optional) YS base
(optional) Diagonal ball base
Accessories
A wide variety of accessories expand the shooting range.
Snoot
An adapter that turns a strobe light into a spot light. An internal prism allows the optical axis of the target light to be perfectly aligned with the optical axis of the strobe light. The beam aperture is 25mm and the use of a snoot cuts off light around the subject to make only the subject stand out.
Dome diffuser
Diffuser that widens the beam angle to 150° x 170°. Light intensity is reduced by approximately -1.5 EV (GN28).
Flash prism
Light guiding prism that can emit YS-D3 DUO light without using a fiber-optic cable; supports RC mode and manual Emission.
The Pro Max has the highest power output of the new Retra Flash Series, a fresh OLED back panel display and offers the highest level of versatility that is appreciated by all underwater photographers.
Engineered to Perfection
For over a decade, a group of engineers and underwater photographers have teamed up with a single goal in mind: develop a true lighting tool for underwater photography.
To reach this goal, we continuously examined feedback from photographers during every step of the development process. The end result is a travel friendly strobe that delivers top-tier performance in any lighting condition.
So, whether you're a professional or just diving into the world of underwater photography, the Retra Flash will be your trusted companion on all your underwater adventures.
4th Generation of Underwater Strobe Technology
With our 4th generation series, we listened to all your comments and made changes to the Retra Flash to better suit your needs.
Electronics were completely redesigned with efficiency and performance in mind
4th Gen. Retra Flash uses less power for the same light output
Optical triggering system is more reliable and able to read optical input even from sub-optimal fiber optic cables.
Intuitive Back Panel Controls
We've spent hundreds of hours analyzing feedback from photographers on the field and tweaking our designs to bring you a back panel you are immediately familiar with.
We're also introducing a brand new innovation that is the centerpiece of the new Retra Flash Pro Max. The OLED display shows relevant information based on selected mode.
The information is uncluttered and clearly displayed - even in sunny shallow waters!
Information that can be seen on the display:
Current mode
Power setting
Battery life indicator
Capacitor recycle indicator
And more!
A reliable power source is the key
Our 4th generation Retra Flash models have a completely redesigned battery compartment that can now hold 8x AA cells without the need for a separate battery compartment, when using the Booster.
The Retra Flash is also the only underwater strobe with a built-in leakage detection system that warns you if water gets into the battery compartment.
The Weefine WFS02 ring flashes have been specifically designed for underwater use to provide colourful and natural wide-angle illumination .
A professional-grade round flash tube and powder-coated reflector perfectly produce a soft, blindingly warm 5500K light.
The flash has a very short flash recycle time of 0.9 seconds at full power. In S2 mode, it can fire very quickly at all power levels in succession. In S2 mode it masters pre-flash suppression and in Sync mode the flash output is automatically adjusted (TTL mode of the camera).
