Hey... yes, but many years ago... it is not something that I would ever do. No point, when you already have a pile of rechargeables ;-) But my answer will not give much meaning to you... as it is all about the setting you shoot the flash... as there is a big difference between shooting TTL in bright water, or manual in dark water. And that is why I also NEVER would go down on a second dive, without changing the batteries... not that they won't last... with Eneloop 2300 mHa batteries, it should easily be 2 dives... but since I have several sets of batteries, I just NEVER do that!. OK? :-) - but I´d imagine you have 4-600 shots, depending on the intensity.
yeah, From my last dive, I noticed that fully charged eneloop batteries can only be used at 3 dives at most using this strobe. I have an upcoming two-day dive (6 dives) in a remote island in the Philippines where there is no electricity. I was thinking if I should buy another set of rechargeable batteries or just a set of good-quality, single-use ones (as it will cost me less). thanks for the very insightful response!
Hey there. Sorry, I never saw a 180" dome filter ;-) Hmmm... would I recommend it? Sure... if the kind of photography you need to do, requires it. I assume such a filter would make the light quite soft and that can be good on some macro shots. . but remember... as with ALL diffusor filters, the trick is to use them only when needed, and TAKE THEM OFF when you need a more bright light, that will give you motive more colour and harder contrast. OK? - so in short... there is no yes/no answer to this question... but go ahead and get it and try it out for fun... and remember not to leave it there forever.
Hey man would this strobe connect to a 6 pin bulkhead?
Yes man...! It depends on the cable.
But the flash has been discontinued by Inon (for the time being at least) due to lack of access to components.
Hello, have you tried using regular, single use batteries for this strobe? if so, how long would it last? thanks

Would you recommend any 180 degree dome diffuser thats compatible with Z330? Thanks
