We've spent hundreds of hours analysing photographers feedback from the field and tweaking our designs. The end result is a back panel you are immediately familiar with. Controls are large and tactile, for all types of hands or gloves. You will always get what you expect with the new Retra Flash.
The new Retra Flash connects via bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet (patent pending technology). Check the status of your flashgun, set advanced features (HSS, Smart SL, Pilot Adjust...) and make firmware updates with the new Retra Flash and the free Retra UWT App. Available to download on the App Store and Google Play. Search for "Retra UWT". The new Retra Flash is a system built for the future.
Securely attached via bayonet mount there are many accessories available for the new Retra Flash. The most prominent is the LSD Ultimate. With a super powerful centrally positioned pilot light you will be able to find your light spot even in very bright conditions. The Retra Flash and LSD Ultimate are made for each other.
The new Retra Flash is the world's only underwater flashgun with a built-in leakage detector (patent pending technology). In the unlikely event of a battery compartment flood you will be notified by the Retra Flash to check the battery compartment at your earliest convenience. Our goal is to reach a 0% statistic in damage resulting from battery compartment flooding.
With the bayonet mount your Retra Flash can be transformed into a specialist lighting tool. Diffusers for blue water, green water and a special diffuser for sharks are available. For macro work there are several options to reduce the angle of the light beam. Secure mounting is the way.
