turandot

Thank you so much for your help @bghazzal. What I don't like about Supe V4Kv3 is that it has very few minutes at full power, only 35 mins I have doubts with the MW-4300 video lights, I think 4300 lumens may be too few lumens and I hope that Backscatter will release an updated version of MW-4300 with more lumens, like other more powerful video lights on the market. In the past I bought the Backscatter Mini Flash 1 and shortly after, the update of the MF-2 model went on sale 😬, I don't want the same thing to happen to me again with this much more expensive purchase, 2x MW-4300 > $1.000 🙂 Other cheaper options to consider are Leton Power lights from Aliexpress such as Sealion L12, L15, L24 models with 21700 lithium batteries.... but this is a bit of a gamble.

Anyone who has tried these underwater video lights?>> https://scubalamp.com/products/v4kv3-video-light?VariantsId=10187 There are many things I like about this underwater video lights, but 35min at full power seems like a very short time to me. How do you see it? Any alternatives to these lights? Backscatter MW-4300 could it be an alternative??

Very interesting solution to carry the camera+housing+port+macro lens on your shoulder.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try. A possible improvement would be a design to place small rubber o-rings on the connectors to the diving housing.

I'm turandot and I'm from Spain. I am an amateur underwater photographer and I have an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III with Nauticam housing and Inon Z240 flashes. I'm very happy to be back on this new forum since the death of Wetpixel. I want to thank those involved in looking for an alternative and happy to be able to greet many colleagues from other countries with whom we share the same hobby. (Sorry if my English is not better sometimes, I hope you understand me well)
