Second Flash

[jwlast]

Thanks to all who replied to my post about the bouyancy problems with my new Sealife Reefmaster RC and flash.

Second question, I see where the camera is sold as a 2 flash set up.

Anybody know if the second flash option is sold separately and if so who might sell it? I've looked around on the internet and can't seem to find it as a separate option, just as a complete camera set-up

Also, how the first flash works is a no-brainer, but how does the second flash trigger and does it significantly increase available light?

Thanks for your time. Any feedback on the second flash would be appreciated.

From waht I've seen, the second strobe has a light sensor on the lower RIGHT side as you look at it. It picks up the internal flash that is reflected by the current reflector on the original strobe.
In theory, it should double the ammount of light.

There is a good picture of the dual set up here:

Yes, you can buy the second strobe as a seperate purchase. I wish I could remember the WEB page I used, but I think it goes by something like SCUBA Toys. I'd have to go look at my strobes, but I think they have a sensor on each side, so you can use one on each side of the camera. Both strobes fire off of the internal strobe. And the second strobe will make a nice difference in your pictures.

www.leisurepro.com for the second strobe...........they also make lead weights that fit inside the strobes to make the setup slightly negative..........would advise getting the strobe arm extensions also
