Press Release:

SEA&SEA continues our commitment to the underwater imaging industry by creating the YS-03 Universal Lighting System. Incorporating advanced functionality with convenience into an affordable, easy-to-use, compact underwater strobe.

The YS-03 Universal Lighting System offers more opportunity for exploration into the world of underwater photography. This great value strobe package includes everything that is needed to utilize the YS-03 to the fullest with most compact camera housings to capture the vibrant, colorful images everyone desires. Included in the YS-03 Universal Light System: YS-03 strobe, compact flex arm with neoprene cover, compact digital tray, and the SEA&SEA Fiber Optic Cable II M/2.

Underwater lighting just became easier with YS-03 strobe. YS-03 is designed to mimic the light intensity of the camera’s built-in flash. Say goodbye to manually adjusting the strobe output, as YS-03 is TTL. YS-03 is compatible with any camera containing a pre-flash and a TTL flash exposure function. SEA&SEA created this strobe for any underwater photographer with any level of expertise. It is simple to use and easy to understand. With only one rotary power control, YS-03 is ready to start shooting beautiful images with a turn of the switch from OFF to TTL.

The compact flex arm with neoprene sleeve mounts to the compact digital tray and compliments the YS-03 impeccably. Adjusting the YS-03 strobe head to any angle is quick and easy with the smooth joints of the compact flex arm.

The Fiber Optic Cable II M/2 enhances the transmission of light through a multi-core fiber design. Containing 613 cores each with a narrow diameter, potential light transition loss is minimized - even when the cord is bent. This unique SEA&SEA multi-fiber design helps prolong the life-span of the fiber optic cable even when faced with physical impact. The Fiber Optic Cable II M/2 provides an advancement for efficient light conductivity.

SEA&SEA’s economical YS-03 Universal Lighting System (SS-03541) will be available early November, 2014 with a MSRP of $349.00.
