Why Choose the AOI UIS-P1?
The AOI UIS-P1 strobe is a reliable choice for underwater photographers of all levels. Building on the success of the InTeLi™ Mode from the UCS-Q1RC, the UIS-P1 offers improved performance and more customization options. Here’s what sets it apart from the competition:

- User-Friendly Design and Quick Setup
- Durability to Handle the Deepest Waters
Amazing Intelligent Features: AOI InTeLi™ Mode
The AOI UIS-P1 brings you InTeLi™ Mode, a breakthrough feature that takes underwater photography to a whole new level. This isn’t just another TTL (Through The Lens) flash system. It’s a major upgrade. With smarter calibration and more consistent results, InTeLi™ Mode outshines older TTL systems, especially in tricky underwater lighting conditions.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
- i-Macro™ Function: Perfect for super-detailed close-ups, this feature ensures flawless lighting for even the tiniest subjects.
- Better Than Ever: Unlike older TTL systems that could be hit-or-miss, InTeLi™ Mode delivers perfectly exposed shots every time, so you can say goodbye to trial-and-error.
- Works with OM System and Sony Cameras: Originally designed for OM System cameras, it now supports Sony TTL too!
Light Up the Ocean: High Performance Lighting
Light behaves differently underwater. Colors fade with depth, and shadows dominate without proper illumination. The AOI UIS-P1 is engineered to counteract these challenges with 150 Ws of power and a 150-degree beam angle. This wide and even coverage ensures every detail in your frame is bathed in beautiful, natural light. Its 5,900K color temperature mimics daylight, making your photos vibrant and true to life. Say goodbye to dull, washed-out shots and hello to images that pop with color and clarity.
When you’re underwater, proper lighting can make or break your shot. The AOI UIS-P1 shines bright with its impressive specs:
- 150Ws of Power from a ring-shaped flash tube gives you wide and even light for every scene.
- 150-degree Beam Angle ensures wide coverage for your subjects, perfect if you’re shooting large schools of fish or expansive coral reefs.
- 3000-lumen continuous light For close-up photography or video, the AOI UIS-P1’s COB light is a standout feature. Delivering 3,000 lumens of continuous light, it’s perfect for shooting intricate details like the patterns on a nudibranch or the texture of a coral polyps.
The COB light’s adjustable brightness settings (100%, 50%, and 25%) let you fine-tune the lighting to suit your needs. Plus, with a burn time of up to 60 minutes, you have ample time to capture the scene.
Built to Last: Durability & Design
The AOI UIS-P1 is designed to withstand the toughest underwater conditions. It’s constructed from marine-grade aluminum alloy and polycarbonate with fiberglass, making it both lightweight and durable. No matter if you're exploring warm, tropical reefs or venturing into cold, deep waters, this strobe is ready to perform.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Depth-Rated to 100 meters Rated to depths of 100 meters, it’s a strobe you can trust for both shallow dives and deeper expeditions. And with a weight of just 230 grams underwater, it won’t strain your gear or your arm during extended dives.
- Sealed Battery Chamber ensures that your electronics stay safe in the rare case of flooding.
- A Self-Orienting TFT LCD Display Screen shows key info like remaining power and settings—making it super easy to manage your shots without messing with complicated menus.
Customize Your Strobe: Add-On Accessories
Want to take your underwater photography to the next level? AOI offers several add-ons to enhance your strobe’s performance:
- Diffuser: Softens light and creates an even light distribution. (Included with the strobe!)
- Reflector Ring: Reduces beam angle and increases light output by +1 F-stop, perfect for more controlled lighting. (Optional accessory)
- Reducer Ring: Narrows the beam angle to minimize light leaks and reduce backscatter. (Optional accessory)
These accessories give you more options to tailor the UIS-P1 to your unique shooting needs.
Speed and Reliability for Every Shot
Timing is everything in underwater photography. Marine life doesn’t pose for the camera, and conditions can change in seconds. That’s where the fast 1.8-second recycle time of the AOI UIS-P1 becomes invaluable. Even at full power, you’re ready to shoot again almost instantly, ensuring you never miss a fleeting moment. With a battery capacity of up to 540 flashes per charge, this strobe is built for endurance. You can confidently explore and shoot without worrying about running out of power midway through a dive. If you need even faster performance, HSS (High-Speed Sync) is available. Plus, the 21700 rechargeable Li-Ion battery keeps you shooting for hours.
