A snoot for SnS DJ2 strobe?

[Ardy]

Hi all, is there a snoot available for this flash? I have had a look around but found nothing.

Assuming you mean Sea & Sea YS-D2J, there is a 10Bar snoot that mounts on YS-D1 and YS-D2

Focus your strobe lighting with this underwater snoot. Includes a red laser pointer to properly aim the small beam of light. See all compatible strobe options here.

Note that YS-D series strobes have an offset modeling light, which makes using it for aiming problematic. There is a Sea & Sea snoot for YS-D3 that uses an internal prism to align it with the main lamp, but it doesn't fit the earlier strobes, hence the aiming laser. However, the laser has a bit of its own issue - some marine life, such as shrimp, are known to sometimes chase the laser spot.

Thanks very much I had ignored it as I thought it was for an Inon. It is out of stock in Australia and no stock coming.

Backscatter ship to Australia and seem to have it in stock.

Marelux SOFT is another option, as it has a built-in aiming light and a dock for YS-D2, but it's expensive and absolutely massive.

There is, but the offset modeling light on YS-D1/D2 as well as Inon Z-240/Z-330 makes it a nightmare to use, which is why I didn't mention it, even though I own one and quite like it (I use it on a Retra Pro). With those offset modeling lights, you need a snoot that does its own aiming spot.
