Backscatter Mini Flash 3 Underwater Strobe MF-3
THE PERFECT MACRO STROBE FOR ANY CAMERA
The Backscatter Mini Flash 3 is the latest evolution in Backscatter’s ground-breaking Mini Flash series of macro-focused underwater strobes.
The Mini Flash 3 boasts the same incredible macro shooting capabilities of the Mini Flash 2, but now with Sony TTL and the ability to disable learning mode for easier manual flash triggering.
The Mini Flash 3 is feature-packed, including Olympus/OM System and Sony TTL, remote strobe control, high-speed sync, test mode, emergency signaling capability, fast recycle times, and LED lights that are twice as bright as the Mini Flash 1.
The Mini Flash 3 also uses the exact same suite of creative lighting accessories used by the original Mini Flash strobes.
The Mini Flash 3 is the latest, lightweight macro lighting system that is the easiest to use strobe and snoot combination on the market.
NEW FEATURES
Sony TTL Compatibility
In addition to Olympus and OM System TTL, the Mini Flash 3 features Sony Mirrorless Automatic TTL Exposure using the Backscatter Smart Control System.
This uses Sony’s super-accurate native TTL language, which is much more accurate than mimic TTL. Sony TTL is supported with both Smart Control and Smart Control Macro Mode.
Smart Control Mode is best used for general photography, while Smart Control Macro mode tailors the flash output specifically for close-up macro shooting, where other TTL systems tend to struggle.
Sony TTL is enabled using the Backscatter Universal Flash Trigger for Sony and Backscatter Nauticam Flash Trigger for Sony, for a convenient fit with most housings.
Please note, Sony RX series compact cameras do not have compatible TTL protocol for use with SC mode with the Mini Flash 3.
The Mini Flash 3 can take advantage of super-accurate automatic flash exposures using Sony TTL when paired with the Backscatter Smart Control TTL Trigger for Sony.
Disable Learning Mode for Dedicated Manual Triggering
The Mini Flash 1, Mini Flash 2, and Mini Flash 3 feature learning mode for convenient automatic pre-flash cancellation.
This enables the flash to learn the camera’s internal flash shooting mode after a test shot using a fiber optic cable when first powered on. Learning mode makes it easy to adapt cameras that use a fill-flash or pre-flash system to trigger the Mini Flash.
Simple, single-flash manual flash triggering systems that don’t require pre-flash cancellation can now skip the initial learning mode step.
Learning mode only needs to be set once, since the Mini Flash 3 will remember the setting until it is changed.
