Question AOI Q1RC or Sea&Sea YS-D3 Duo

[reggy]

Hi. I can you help me to find the right strobe for me?
I'm just a regular diver who want to take picture of anything that interesting for me. But i really loved to take a picture of a turtle, and macro / wide sometimes. I have a TG 7 camera, and AOI 400A wide lens. Now i want to buy the strobe.
The option i considered is
- two AOI Q1RC
- two Sea&Sea YS D3 Duo

I live in indonesia, mostly dives in bali. Hopefully can dives in raja ampat or labuan bajonsomeimes.

Which strobe do you think is more suitable to buy?

Thank you

AOI Q1RC are great, small and easy to travel with but do lack a bit of power and spread. The Y3 are more more powerful and bigger probably more suited to wide angle.

I picked up some AOI last time I was in Japan and happy with them but do suspect that when I upgrade the camera from a TG 6, the strobes will be upgraded soon after

I think the AOI Q1 RC size is an advantage for travelling. But i'm not sure about the power, can it fit for 120° wide angle?
Also for the recycling time, can AOI Q1 RC fire when its not fully charged?
