Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Intova PX-21 Compact Slave Camera Flash: Enhance Your Photography Lighting by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for inexpensive flash units or beginner photographers UW

Flashes were great for a while but after about 50 dives (in tropical salt water) on/off and flash power setting on my side started to fail. Great as long as they last, but I highly recommend getting better quality strobes. I do not regret. But they're good for the money if you have a basic setup. Never floods and is fairly reliable. I have to play with the angles a bit but they're pretty decent for wide angles, great for macro photography but poor for cave diving or particularly dark areas. I also recommend buying rechargeable batteries and changing them after 2 dives at most. especially when used at a setting above 1 (low) (every dive is better after replacement if you are able to). You will also need to purchase a fiber optic cable. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAAB5QK/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_6). Otherwise they are completely useless underwater.

Pros
  • Power supply: 2 x AAA batteries (not included)
Cons
  • Not all suitable
