I think one issue here is cultural. Inon is a small company, they don't seem to be North America oriented. Inon America made itself the middleman that many dealers never used. Inon decided it did not want a middleman in North America for some reason undisclosed. The products continue to be available. The cultural issue may be that Inon simply does not care that much for working within the United States due to all of the legal, import, carbon taxes, import legalities TART, and on and on and simply decided to retract itself to a more minor player with in the United States via established dealers, not a middleman. Many foreign companies, not just Inon, simply choose not to do business in the United States, FIAT, Renault, Gull, oh, forget that, I don't have time to type all the companies that do not do business in the USA due to our restrictive policies and legal crap.
The Sea and Sea looks like a good strobe, it would have been my second choice.
It still remains that dealers who never sourced through Inon America are still retailing Inon products in the USA, those who don't oh well, I go somewhere else.
I would not look for Inon to explain anything, make any special webpage announcement for North America or anything other than what they are doing now, if you want their product you can buy it, if you don't you can go elsewhere---hmmm--there is no elsewhere because nobody but Inon makes the unique products they do.
Another fact, without a well known long time distributor and dealer the below pic would not be possible, some of these items were just purchased and just arrived this week. These products largely have no substitute without moving up to a dSLR.
My homemade Canon to Inon to Ikelite tray adapter:
Now the cameras interchange on the Ikelite tray without disassembly or carrying another tray.
You want wide angle, I got your wide angle right here.
