Description
Meet the KS160! Featuring 160Ws at the highest power, a dedicated USB-C charged battery pack, a round flash tube, and a tank like aluminum body, the KS160 can handle whatever subject matter or conditions the underwater realm throws at it. A significant improvement in all aspects from the previous KS02 Strobe. Featuring 160Ws at the highest power.
From crystal clear springs in Florida, to murky seagrass beds in South Australia, the KS160 has you covered. The circular flash tube allows for fantastic, even lighting across the widest of scenes, even without a diffuser. Accessories like snoots, reduction rings, and different temperature diffusers make the KS160 a versatile flash no matter the subject or shooting situation.
Operation of the flash is simple. A push-button turns the strobe on and activates the LCD screen. The power dial needs to be set to full power (160) before the strobe will be fully functional. Once you have turned it to 160, you can then go ahead and select whatever power level you’d like.
The strobe features seven power levels controlled with the paddle-like dial, and there’s a solid click and hard stop at each level. The control wheel allows you to further fine-tune the output power, providing an additional three power levels in-between each hard stop.
The KS160 features both fiber-optic and electronic sync, the latter via 5-pin bulkheads. Whether fiber-optically or electronically connected, the KS160 fired reliably every time. The LED screen on the back of the strobe lets you know exactly how many shots you have left at your selected power setting. You have hundreds or even thousands of shots at your disposal at half power or less.
The battery pack features a USB-C port so you can charge the battery directly. When the battery is inserted into the strobe, a simple twist locks it into place with a solid click so you know it is properly secured. The KS160 also features a 500-lumen focus light.
