Not to be outdone by the slew of manufacturers flooding the strobe market of late—think AOI Q1i, Ikelite Ecko, Ikelite RC165/DS165, Isotta RED64, Kraken Sports KR-S40 and Retra Flash Pro Max II—Sea&Sea has teased a new strobe currently “under development” called the YS-D130R.
The Japanese company isn’t giving too much away, but their product page refers to a “high-output strobe equipped with a circular flash tube designed to deliver smooth, even lighting distribution.” Promising that “advanced customization options allow for precise control across a wide range of camera systems and shooting styles,” the new strobe offers manual power settings as well as DS-TTL and OM System’s RC TTL. Sea&Sea also says the new model features a “redesigned battery system.”
Interestingly, Sea&Sea make a point of showing where exactly the YS-D130R will sit in their range—namely, at the very top, above the YS-D3 DUO, the YS-01 SOLIS and the YS-03 SOLIS. While no number is given to indicate power, it’s notable that the new strobe sports a circular flash tube like the much-loved-but-long-discontinued YS-250PRO, which claimed a guide number of 32.
No pricing is currently available, but retailers such as Backscatter are already taking pre-orders for the Sea&Sea YS-D130R.
