The Ikelite DS162 TTL Underwater Strobe, with a US charger, is the long-standing choice of professionals who need a strobe that can be relied on to perform over and over. Made of a lightweight polycarbonate-ABS blend, the DS162 emits a beam designed for proper spread and color temperature with no need for a light-reducing diffuser. Along with flash, the strobe can deliver a 2500-lumen COB LED beam for video work. Large, click-stop dial controls provide intuitive, tactical feedback of exposure settings and are easy to use even when wearing gloves. A slide lock prevents the strobe from accidentally turning on when not in use. The NiMH battery pack attaches quickly and easily with a unique toggle lock that prevents accidental floods. You don't even need to lubricate the O-ring. The strobe front is compatible with older NiMH battery packs #4066.5 or the DS230 strobe battery pack #40066BK.

Q: 3. hi, when using shotgun mic like MKE 600 or MKH 416 does it still need XLR cable to connect to P1 or you can just plug directly?

A: Plugging a microphone directly into an XLR input jack is never recommended. Remember that, by the principle of leverage, the force exerted on the connector will be proportional to the length of the mic. You can very quickly end up damaging the pins, or even the jack itself, and when phantom power is involved you also risk a short circuit if this happens. Always use a cable, even if it is a very short cable with low-profile connectors.

A: The Xvive Audio P1 Portable Phantom Power Supply with Rechargeable Battery supplies 12 or 48V of phantom power, but does not supply 12V of T power.

Q: 8. Want to mount this to a camera cage/handle somehow; any cinch sort of harness or other creative solution, perhaps with 1/4 20 mounting screws?

Q: 10. Can this be used such as: mic - P1 - FetHead - recorder? I'm looking to boost a quiet mic more than the FetHead Phantom can, but then still supply phantom to a condenser mic.
