Their size, power, and coverage make them ideal for both compact point-and-shoot and mirrorless systems. Focus on close-up photography with a single Ecko, or balance your system out with dual strobes to take on anything you come across.The Ecko is designed to be in your gear bag for many years to come. Each strobe comes with Ikelite's full support team. We're always ready to help you with images and share your successes. Legendary TTL Integration When using TTL, Ecko automatically adjusts its output to perfectly light the subject of your photo in both wide-angle and macro settings.TTL makes a huge difference when your subject is moving quickly. Most animals underwater move faster than a human's reaction time - significantly faster than you can manually change the power settings on two strobes. TTL adjusts your strobe(s) power instantaneously and accurately as a subject approaches, retreats, or swims through the frame.Using TTL flash exposure also unlocks access to hundreds of power settings—far more than on any strobe dial. The minimum TTL flash output is significantly lower than the minimum on the manual power dial, allowing for fine-tuned flash output in even the most delicate situations.In addition to its many other benefits, TTL decreases flash recycle time, increases battery life, and reduces headaches when editing photos.TTL doesn't relinquish control- it empowers it. Dial in plus/minus flash exposure compensation directly into the camera to instantly adjust your Ecko strobe intensity. Flash exposure compensation allows you to maintain the benefits of TTL's responsiveness while creatively adjusting the brightness of your flash in between photos.TTL works in conjunction with your camera's Manual (M) exposure mode- meaning you can still adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO while enjoying the tremendous advantages of TTL flash operation.The Ecko DS is compatible with Ikelite's full line of TTL accessories, including DS Link TTL Converters for every major camera manufacturer and the popular RC1 TTL Receiver for OM System / Olympus / Panasonic. Universal Power Supply Ikelite divers end up in remote locations where anything can happen. Having the option to pick up a spare set of batteries off the shelf can be a lifesaver if something unexpected comes up. AA batteries are easy to find in even the most obscure destinations and easy to get through airport security checkpoints.When available, Ikelite recommends high-quality rechargeable Eneloop cells for the best performance from the first shot to the last.The battery compartment is independently sealed from the strobe. The large o-ring is securely installed in the battery door and never needs to be removed or lubricated. Just make sure that the visible surface is clean of debris and go.
