UCS-Q1i: Powerful and Compact
The UCS-Q1i is a powerful and compact strobe that redefines underwater lighting technology. Building on the success of the UCS-Q1 and UCS-Q1RC, AOI Ltd continues to push the boundaries of underwater imaging innovation.
A Legacy of Excellence
The award-winning UCS-Q1 became a favorite among beginners thanks to its advanced features typically found in more premium models. The UCS-Q1RC introduced TTL integration for OM System cameras, delivering a seamless experience in both performance and design.
Innovation Through AOI InTeLi™ Mode
AOI Ltd further strengthened its reputation with the launch of the UIS-P1, which introduced AOI InTeLi™ Mode — a next-generation system specifically optimized for underwater photography.
Introducing the UCS-Q1i
The new UCS-Q1i combines the best features of the UCS-Q1 and UIS-P1. It inherits AOI InTeLi™ Mode, offering precise and consistent TTL exposure across a wide range of camera systems, surpassing traditional S-TTL and TTL performance. This intelligent mode automatically adjusts to camera settings, ensuring exceptional accuracy in exposure control.
Refined Macro Capabilities
Included in AOI InTeLi™ Mode is i-Macro Mode, designed to optimize light output for close-up shooting. Underwater photographers can capture intricate details with exceptional clarity, making beautifully lit macro shots easier than ever. AOI InTeLi™ Mode supports Sony TTL and i-Macro, OM System RC TTL and i-Macro, as well as TTL HSS and M-HSS modes.
Unmatched Performance
Most notably, the UCS-Q1i remains the brightest strobe in its class, with an impressive Guide Number 22 (GN22) at ISO100 — delivering powerful underwater illumination. Like the UIS-P1, it also supports High Speed Shutter (HSS) compatibility with Sony cameras, enabling photographers to freeze fast-moving underwater scenes with precision and clarity.
