The venerable Substrobe 200 now has the newest IC chips and IGBT circuitry allowing this ultra wide and ultra powerful strobe to be compatible with current digital cameras and any TTL circuitry included in our housings. State-of-the-art electronics provide a blazing 200 watt seconds of power recycling in an incredible 1.6 seconds.

This is a high performance professional strobe with the original features that revolutionized underwater photography. Mount the DS-200 on either side of the camera and the control panel and ready light are always visible for quick confirmation and easy access. The DS-200 offers four manual power modes or can be used with the optional #4100.6 EV Manual Controller for 10 manual power settings.

The SubStrobe DS-200 delivers an even ultra wide 100 degree beam. The special "soft-lite" reflector produces softer, warmer, more natural colors. A diffuser is included to widen and soften the light even more. The built-in aiming light is more than just a target light; it is powerful enough to use as a night diving light.

The main strobe electronics are sealed from the battery compartment, and the industrial grade NiMH battery module is easily removed. No more guessing about when to recharge; the DS-200 features an LED gauge which shows the remaining battery power.

The battery door is easy to disassemble and clean. A switch lock is included to prevent accidental turning on of the strobe.
