Description
Don’t be fooled by the size of the AOI UCS-Q1 Ultra Compact Underwater Strobe! This compact flash proves you don’t need a big strobe to pack a big punch. Using 2 x 18650 batteries (not included), The UCS-Q1 gives a large volume of flashes. Additionally, the 700 lumen focus lights works proficiently in low light to assist the camera to focus, and even double as a night dive light.
If you have a Olympus Camera with RC flash feature, look at the other model available, the AOI UCS-Q1RC Ultra Compact Strobe for Olympus TG6 and TG7 to get the best from your camera.
The UCS-Q1 control panel is kept simple with just two buttons and a single knob. The knob controls the power setting- with#7 as the maximum power and equivalent of Guide Number 22. Making the UCS-Q1 a manual function strobe means that when used with an automatic compact camera, it is easy to control the flash output for every shot and nail that perfect image. Just adjust the brightness of the strobe to match the exposure of the camera. The strobe has a very useable beam angle of 85 degrees with the diffuser on.
The battery compartment is secured with a screw-on cap that is sealed with two o-rings to prevent accidental flooding. Should the battery compartment flood, it does not affect the electronic compartment as the two are kept separate,. This feature will prevent a hefty repair bill. The strobe is powered by two 18650 lithium batteries, which offers up to 2000 flashes on a single charge and provides consistent power delivery, even at low levels. Additionally, the strobe is equipped with power stand-by and auto power-off features to conserve power and increase the lifespan of the strobe.
