Underwater Speedlight Question
Aug 24, 2015 19:43:24 #
On a whim (and for a good price) I recently purchased a Nikon 1 J4 and the associated Nikon underwater housing. It seems clear that the J4's flash will be partially blocked by the housing, but I'm wondering if it can be used to trigger a Nikonos 105 Underwater Speedlight as a slave unit. I've done a little underwater photography with an underwater P&S, but I'd like to try something a bit more advanced.
I do mostly snorkeling (including at night) in the Carribbean.

Wasn't familiar with this so I looked it up. This was in the product discription.
The light from the camera's built-in flash is blocked by the housing, but it can still be used to trigger 1 or 2 optional SB-N10 Underwater Speedlight flash units when these are connected to the housing's fiber-optic ports via cables, which are available separately. A built-in cold shoe mount located on top of the housing permits the attachment of optional accessories, such as lighting arms.

It should work fine with the SB105. I use the 105 as a slave on my setup, although it is a dslr.
