"I've bought 2 pcs. of the Retra Pro Max, boosters, 1 snoot and several accessories. Before I bought the flashes, I had some questions, about the HSS and which flash trigger I needed for my camera and housing.
All my questions were answered professionally, and the following support has been outstanding. They really care about their customers.
Excellent products and fast shipping.
This is truly a professional company, that I can highly recommend."
– Ziad A. Al-Turki
"As someone who was always intimidated to use strobes, I cannot recommend Retra Strobes enough; whether you are a beginner underwater photographer, or an expert, Retra Strobes products are the perfect addition to your camera set up.
Made with function and ease-of-use in mind, Retra Strobes take the guessing out of getting comfortable with strobes; with fantastic quality, clearly marked buttons, and a customer service team available to answer any questions you may have in a timely and expert manner, there isn’t another strobe on the market I would rather use. There’s no wonder why I’m on my third set of Retra Strobes now!"

Description of modes
The BATT/TEST mode allows you to check the battery status of your strobe. Test your strobe’s flash output or use it for creative lighting techniques with long exposure.
Retra Flash Pro Max emits a single pulse of soft light at the selected power level. You can fine-tune the strength of illumination with 13 power levels of ~0.5 F-Stop increments, giving you a total of ~7 F-Stops, without accessories.
Retra Flash Pro Max uses your camera’s calculations to determine the ideal exposure for the scene by using a pre-flash. You can adjust the relative power of the automatic exposure if you feel it was too high or low.
Retra Flash Pro Max is capable of emitting a long flash pulse, required for HSS photography. You can fine-tune the strength of exposure to suit your specific needs.
The U mode allows you to tailor your Retra Flash experience. Select your custom user mode by connecting your strobe with the Retra UWT App. You can choose between Smart SL, Manual Low Power, or LED Adjust modes.
If you find yourself in trouble, Retra Flash Pro Max is capable of emitting a morse code signal for help (SOS). This mode overrides any errors.
You can also flip the LED screen on the Retra Flash Pro Max by 180°, allowing you to use it in any orientation.
Retra Flash Pro Max features a pilot or guide light with two intensity levels, allowing you to find the ideal position for your strobes quickly and easily. You can also customize the intensity of each level with the LED Adjust mode in the Retra UWT App.
Pilot light feature is available in M, TTL, HSS, and U modes.
