using the camera flash or a flash trigger is a pain in its own right, esp with the S&S strobes.
I'm curious as to why. I've only had experience with YS-D1's and optical triggering so don't see why it's a pain. I used the pop-up flash on a D810, and now a Nauticam LED trigger with a D850.
The optical sensor on YS-D2 strobes is significantly less sensitive than the one on YS-D1, and YS-D3 is worse than YS-D2 in this regard. Sea & Sea's own trigger for D3s uses twin AAA batteries and eats through them quite quickly, just to power the LED that is strong enough to drive these strobes - compare that to more common triggers that run for months on a coin cell battery.
Good to know. I have three YS-D1's now, all used for a while. (I bought two used ones well over a year ago to replace a dead one, and I've actually still not even tried them.)
I've thought a lot about what I would get to replace the YS-D1's, especially after all the negative press about YS-Dx models. Thinking Retra. I don't know of other strobes with flash power of YS-D1.
