The FA-1 LED Strobe Trigger triggers underwater strobes and

flashes to fire in sync with the camera using fiber optic cables.

Using the LED Strobe Trigger eliminates the need for the

camera built-in flash to fire, thereby extending camera battery

life and allowing for longer shooting sessions. Eliminating the

camera built-in flash also keeps the camera from heating up,

resulting with less condensation in humid conditions. The LED

Strobe Trigger's super quick recycle time allows for rapid

shooting and triggering of the strobes without having to wait

for the camera built-in flash to charge.

COMPATIBILITY

The FA-1 LED Strobe Trigger can be connected to any camera featuring a hot-shoe connection. It can be

installed inside any camera housing offering sufficient space, anywhere inside the housing, for the main

unit to be placed. For LED Strobe Triggers specially designed for Fantasea housings, please visit the

Fantasea website –

The FA-1 LED Strobe Trigger is capable of triggering most underwater strobes available in the market. Note

that when using the LED Strobe Trigger, strobe output is controlled manually only.
