The Substrobe DS51 covers the equivalent of a 28mm lens. It is the

ideal choice when using only the camera lens with no accessory

wide angle lenses attached.

The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used

with a Non-Ikelite or Non-DS Substrobe. These Substrobes can be

used in their manual mode utilizing any power settings provided

on the Substrobe.

Diiggiittaall SSttrroobbeess

For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend

adding an external DS-digital strobe connected to the housing with

a #4103.51 TTL Sync Cord and a SA-100 Ball/socket arm ((PPaaggee #

#1111)).

Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm,

even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from

the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the

illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate

backscatter. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the

DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller

provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.

A flash deflector (supplied) can be installed over the back of the

housing port next to the housing exterior. The deflector will

deflect the camera flash when using an EV Manual Controller.

The deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV

Controller which controls the external strobe output. To attach,

push the deflector over the back of the housing port, until the

deflector clips into position, blocking the camera flash.

N

NO

OTTEE:: The deflector is nnoott needed when an Ikelite DS digital

strobe is connected (hard-wired) directly to the housing

(recommended).

For the best photographic results underwater, we recommend

using Ikelite External Strobes. This housing has Conversion

Circuitry built into the housing back, eliminating the need for

an EV Controller. The Conversion Circuitry provides real Canon

TTL flash when used with an Ikelite DS Digital substrobe(s) and

the #4103.51 single or #4103.52 dual sync cord, connected

directly to the housing.

See ppaaggee 1133

for DS Substrobe compatibility with the Conversion

Circuitry.

The DS161 Movie Substrobe combines all of the functionality of our

renowned DS160 with a powerful 500 lumen LED video light.

Three super-bright LEDs are arranged behind a special optical

element to provide 45 degrees angle of coverage free of hotspots.
