Product number: IN8514

The INON Z-330 provides powerful Guide Number 33, high performance and multifunction in its compact body. Its built-in optically designed dome lens offering both high power and wide 110 degree coverage underwater without any diffuser which can sacrifice power. For digital cameras, film cameras, optical connection and sync cable connection, the Z-330 strobe supports every camera system with unparalleled features.

Dome Lens Provides Both Powerful Light and Underwater 110 degree Coverage

Yet lightweight and compact body, the Z-330 is designed to produce powerful G.N. 33 (*1). Precisely designed front dome lens (*2) together with INON's unique patented "T-shape Twin Flash" successfully manages both powerful strobe light without sacrifice any power and circular 110 degree coverage UNDERWATER.

Not as like a conventional translucent diffuser which can widen coverage while it has to sacrifice power and store heat inside, this specially designed dome lens diffuses light thanks to reflection ratio of air, acrylic and water to attain UNDERWATER coverage 110 degree with almost all powerful output coming through.

Furthermore, the Z-330 has overcame drawback of high-power strobe which has long flash duration and reaches to FULL power after start flashing in significantly short period of time.

Together with flashing system in sync with pre-flash and main flash of camera’s built-in flash, the Z-330 can deliver full dump even at 1/1000 high shutter speed setting without cutting power

LSD Ultimate Light Shaping Device
Blitzmodell: INON Z330-D200
Das Lichtformungsgerät ist speziell für Ihren Unterwasserblitz entwickelt worden. Die Lichtformungseinheit (LSD) funktioniert wie ein Projektor, der das Licht von Ihrem Blitz- und Pilotlicht nimmt, um einen Strahl mit einem scharfen Bild im Fokusabstand zu erzeugen. Das LSD verwendet Elemente wie Linse, Maske und Diffusor, um den Lichtstrahl zu erzeugen. Der Lichtstrahl Es ist einfach zu bedienen, auch bei deinem ersten Tauchgang! Wenn Sie die Kontrollleuchte einschalten, können Sie genau sehen, wie das Bild aussehen wird, bevor Sie den Auslöser drücken. Auf diese Weise können Sie schnell die richtige Position für Ihr LSD finden und mit der Aufnahme beginnen. Scharf - Weichzeichnung Du kannst Licht formen, seine Kanten schärfen oder verschwimmen lassen. Das linke Bild ist mit dem fokussierten Lichtstrahl. Der Fokuspunkt liegt bei 175mm vom Rand des LSD (in Wasser!). Das rechte Bild ist mit dem Lichtstrahl leicht unscharf.  Doppelloch-Präsentation Beleuchten Sie zwei Stellen mit der Doppellochmaske. Zwei Spots zu beleuchten war eine unmögliche Aufgabe, mit dem LSD ist es einfach! Sie müssen die Doppellochmaske einsetzen und den richtigen Abstand zwischen den Löchern finden. Die Positionierung ist ein Kinderspiel, denn Sie haben die Kontrollleuchte, die Ihnen zeigt, wo die Projektion sein wird. Hintergrundbeleuchtung   Verwenden Sie das LSD für kreative Beleuchtung.  Der starke gerichtete und gebündelte Strahl des LSD ist perfekt, um mit der Position Ihres Blitzes in Bezug auf das Motiv zu spielen. Verwenden Sie es für die Seitenbeleuchtung oder die Hintergrundbeleuchtung.  " Eine leistungsstarke Verwendung der LSD besteht nicht darin, einen Spot in Ihrem Bild zu erzeugen, sondern einen Spot zu erzeugen, der groß genug ist, um Ihr Motiv und Ihren Vordergrund, aber nicht den Hintergrund zu beleuchten. " - Alex Mustard Beleuchten Sie größere Flächen im Weitwinkelbereich. Das leistungsstarke LSD kann auch für Weitwinkelaufnahmen eingesetzt werden. Das ist besonders interessant, wenn wir dem Thema näher kommen.     Das LSD ist zukunftssicher Wenn Sie Ihren Blitz wechseln, wechseln Sie nur das Montagemodul. Jedes LSD besteht aus zwei Modulen: dem optischen Tubus und dem Montagemodul. Sie sind über vier Schrauben verbunden und können in wenigen Minuten ausgetauscht werden.

D-200 Underwater Strobe Type II
Following the latest features of the Z-330 flash, the D-200 underwater flash is designed for a maximum guide number of 20 and an optical trigger system. The built-in dome lens is optically designed to provide wide 110-degree underwater coverage without a diffuser that can affect performance. High performance, multi-functionality and user-friendly handling with the lightest underwater weight support your underwater photography with superior Performance. Extended underwater coverage 110 degrees through dome lens The precisely designed front dome (*1) together with INON's unique patented "T-Shape Twin Flash" successfully creates both a strong guide number of 20 (*2) and circular 110 degree coverage underwater without sacrificing power. Without the use of a diffuser, the D-200 flash is well designed to deliver high power and wide coverage. Unlike a conventional translucent diffuser that can widen coverage while blocking some of the power and trapping heat inside, this specially designed dome lens diffuses light thanks to the reflective ratio of air, acrylic and water to achieve 110 degrees of UNDERWATER coverage with almost all of the powerful output passing through it. In addition, the D-200 has overcome the disadvantage of the high-power flash, which has a long flash duration and reaches full power in a significantly short time after starting the flash. Together with the flash system synchronised with the pre-flash and main flash of the camera's built-in flash, the D-200 can deliver full power even at a high shutter speed of 1/1000 without reducing output. (*1) PAT. P on the dome lens system to extend underwater coverage. (*2) Measurement in air / ISO100?m, nominal value.   Easy to handle under water, buoyancy only 4 grams The D-200 strobe light provides buoyancy at 4 g (*3) underwater, including 4 x AA eneloop batteries and Strobe Light Shade, making the strobe light easily buoyant underwater. By attaching an adapter such as "Z Adapter MV" or "Z Joint", the buoyancy can be almost neutral in salt water. (*3) The buoyancy measured in fresh water is about 4g. The calculated buoyancy in seawater is about 23g. Includes 4 x "eneloop" batteries and Strobe Light Shade. S-TTL automatic /13 power levels in manual flash mode Proven and reliable INON's unique, super-accurate automatic exposure system "S-TTL" Auto mode (patented) is on board to support simple and solid underwater photography with balanced exposure. What's more, even if the signal is weak or the fibre optic cable is partially damaged, the optimised, high-performance slave sensor never misses the camera's trigger signal so as not to hinder you with fickle flashes. Manual flash control with precise 1/2 f-stops is also built in to support professional use when fine-tuning of power is required for high-precision lighting. Power controller for setting the exposure of the S-TTL automatic system Fine-tuning the flash output in S-TTL auto mode is easy by selecting EV. control switch on the back of the control panel. The setting range can be increased in 3 steps and decreased in 6 steps. It is simple and straightforward to adjust to the intended exposure or the different exposure control characteristics of different camera models. Bundled "flash baffle" to prevent illuminated camera lens The "flash hood" (included) "cuts off" a portion of the flash light to dramatically reduce flash or ghosting by not directly illuminating the camera lens. It also prevents floating particles when a flash is positioned near or in front of the lens port, as the water between the port and the subject is less illuminated. The flange part can be rotated 360 degrees. Intuitive operation and comfortable adjustment is supported by easy clicks even under water during shooting.   Trigger-coupled auto OFF focus light with 220 lumens The built-in "Shutter-linked Auto-Off Focus Light" provides 220 lumens of brightness that assists the camera in focusing on a subject and stops in sync with the shutter release, then automatically turns back on. To align the optical axis of the focusing light with the optical axis of the flash, the focusing light has a Fresnel lens in front of it, which supports more accurate aiming of the flash and better usability as an aiming light. Eye-catching fluorescent back panel - Improved intuitive controls Use of high-intensity white-based phosphorescent material for the back panel to improve visibility during both day and night dives. The control buttons are also enlarged to allow user-friendly control even through thick gloves when cold-water diving. The "EV.
