3 out of 5 stars It's great when it works.   February 22, 2008

I used this UFL-1 flash with my Olympus 770SW camera extensively underwater. If the TTL signal from the camera reaches the flash, it works great. However, as I was not using the Olympus mount, to make the camera manageable while SCUBA diving, it was very difficult to know when the camera and the flash were lined up. Also, the red light seems to be on all the time if the flash is on. This is deceptive, since you don't know if it still recharging from the last photo, or ready.


5 out of 5 stars Strobe works good for a person starting underwater photography   October 10, 2007

A really good strobe for a beginner underwater photography. Its almost the same design as one of the Sea & Sea strobe but doesn't have the advance settings which I really didn't need too much. Otherwise this is a great strobe for anybody just pointing and shooting photos underwater.
