High power, wide beam, fast recycle time and a long battery life combine to create a powerhouse strobe.
Like its namesake, the Greek Sun God Apollo, this strobe delivers light over a wide area and at extremely short recycle times. Its long battery life ensures that you’ll never run out. Combined, the performance parameters make the Apollo III 2.1 the clear winner overall in the full-sized strobe category.
High power
- Topside Guide Number of f44@ISO 100 – 1 meter.
- Can use f22@ISO100 at 1 meter underwater.
- Solid f11@ ISO 100 and 1/4 power setting at 1 meter for correct exposure, all while quadrupling the number of available flashes and zeroing the recycle time.
Wide Beam Angle
- 120° base beam angle UW.
- 140° beam angle UW with included dome diffuser.
- Lights up a large area.
- From reefs to wrecks the Apollo 3v2.1 will cover your subject in light.
Fastest Recycle Time
- High speed, so you won’t miss the all-important follow up shots.
- Recycle time @full power = 0.6 seconds!
- 3 full power flashes in 1.8 seconds!
- Makes 3 exposures in the same time as competitors strobes make 1.
Most Flashes Per Charge
- Battery Duration: 800 flashes @full power.
- Over 50% more flashes per charge than competitors strobes.
- Shoot uninterrupted and longer without changing batteries.
