Why should I use a fiber optic cable with my strobe?
Fantasea slave strobes are capable of synchronizing with the camera internal flash without a fiber optic cable in most diving conditions. They feature a slave sensor that triggers the strobe to fire along with the camera internal flash, as long as the strobe and the camera are positioned on the same axis.
The fiber optic cable, however, ensures the best synchronization between the camera internal flash and the external strobe in all angles and in various diving conditions. For instance, when diving in shallow water on a bright day, if the strobe is positioned within a distance from the camera housing or if the strobe slave sensor is not pointed directly towards the camera housing, synchronization rate will significantly decrease without a fiber optic cable. Using a fiber optic cable will enable perfect synchronization within all of these conditions.
