While very, very similar to the “stills” only Ikelite 160 Underwater Strobe, the 161 also allows for continuous LED video light. Everything else is pretty much the same. While this may seem like quite the stretch, I cannot tell you how many times I have recorded video with the 5Dii, or even shot stills using the video lights, it makes a huge difference.

In fact, if for whatever reason you are having strobe misfires, you can shoot with the video lights if you are close enough. With the 160, if you have an issue with the strobes on the dive, its just dead weight.

The video lights greatly help with focusing and and invaluable for night diving photography. The Ikelite Rig has 2 handles, each of which can mount a single strobe arm, which can be purchased with the light itself as a kit. I always use both.

Highly Recommended, once you have it configured and working the way you like. (Not so easy to do in the beginning.)
