Kraken Sports will soon be shipping its newest flashlight, KR-S80. As its name suggests, the flash offers 80W of power, which puts it in the mid-range category, at half the power of the company’s current flagship flash, KR-S160. Like its larger sibling, the KR-S80 boasts an aluminum build and a circular flash tube, promising a pleasant, even light distribution. Increasingly fashionable, the flash features a handy 3,000-lumen COB LED, allowing it to function as a video light for capturing casual footage while diving for photography.
Another notable feature is its compatibility with Kraken RC02 Remote Controlconnected via fiber optics and allows you to control various flash functions from a convenient location on your rig. The KR-S80 is powered by two 21700 batteries. Unlike the KR-S160, which supports both fiber optic and electronic sync, the KR-S80 must be triggered by fiber optics.
The Kraken KR-S80 Flash will be available in late September at retailers such as Back reflectioncost $600.
