Kraken Remote and fiber optics - any opinions

[Illini_Fan]

All

I have a GoPro and I use two Kraken 3500 lights.

I stumbled on the Kraken remote - which I didn't even know existed. Kraken Remote Control

Has anyone used this and if so, any opinions?

Also, I would need to get fiber optic cables -- Bluewater says the Kraken cables are not as reliable as the Sea and Sea. But the Seas and Sea are twice the price -- $170 for two cables. Any opinions on fiber?

thanks

Get your fiber in bulk. Select the 2mm size, drill out and superglue on connectors from your old broken cables. This will work well with any strobe.

Maybe if I had broken cables this would be an option, but alas....

You can buy the connectors from Optical Ocean Sale for a few bucks. But don't toss your optical cables when they inevitably fail.
