Quick question - did the strobe that you received directly from Meikon include a YS-to-ball adapter? I just got my pair of strobes from Cameraman's Store on Aliexpress and each package included a strobe, two diffusers, spare o-rings, a cleaning cloth, a tube of o-ring grease and a user manual - but no ball adapter, and no obvious place in the package where one might have been. It's no big deal, I already ordered two for $9 each, but I'm wondering if that makes up part of the difference between $329 direct from Meikon and $230 that I paid.

Yeah buying from third party dealers can save some money but can be problematic.  I bought a Meikon housing for a Nikon J5 from a third party about a year ago.  It came with only one o-ring despite the Meikon site specifying two.  I ordered an extra o-ring, but it would not fit into the housing's second o-ring groove.  Meikon refused to provide support of any kind, instead referring me to the third party, who was no help whatsoever.  I am actually able to use the housing with only one o-ring, but I'd feel better if I could get the second one in.  It's a nice housing otherwise.

P.S. Thanks for all the info on the ST-100.  There's not a lot of info out there on this strobe.
