Sea & Sea launches a New YS-D3 Duo in White

The Sea & Sea YS-D3 DUO is a high-specification underwater strobe with three shooting modes: DS-TTL, RC mode, and manual. The YS-D3 DUO delivers even and uniform light distribution with a large light output of GN33, similar to the most popular YS-D3II. Custom settings allow the strobe to be used with high precision with a variety of cameras and shooting styles. This popular underwater strobe has always only been available in a Black color, with either a gold or red stripe, but Sea & Sea has now launched a standout white color, transforming this popular strobe into what appears to be simply a color variant with no difference internally. In fact, all "three color options" are simply that: color variants with the internal specifications all being the same.
