Ikelite DS Strobe

The new Ikelite DS strobe is likely to be released within this year.

Ikelite DS Strobe

This successor of the well-known Ikelite DS160 and DS161 will feature improved energy savings (33%), a chrome-plated reflector for improved output, a fast recycle time, and an improved design for more field of coverage and softer fall off.
The new DS strobe will work with the same batteries as the DS160/161. It is compatible with the Ikelite TTL converters and can be triggered by a fiber
optic cable or electronic sync cable.

Anti-Reflection Ring

To avoid the reflection and thus visibility of camera lens inscriptions and ring details in underwater images created with a wide-angle lens in a dome port, Ikelite offers a series of self-adhesive vinyl labels that can be easily mounted onto the lens.

Reflection rings are available in different dimensions for the most commonly used wide-angle lenses underwater.

Kraken Sports Solar Flare Mini

The new underwater video light from Kraken Sports has a light output of 12,000 lumens.

A COB LED gives it a warm colour temperature and a smooth, even beam with no hot spots. With its dimensions of 8 x 6 x 4in and a weight of 3lb, it is designed for professionals who need powerful yet compact lighting systems. The Solar Flare Mini is flood-resistant with a vacuum-sealed battery compartment, head/lamp and battery compartments are completely isolated from each other.
The video light is prepared for remote controls, which are available as additional accessories.

INON Underwater Tripod System

The INON underwater tripod is a modular, highly customizable system that allows one to mount underwater housings of any dimension, weight and size to a tripod during underwater photo or video dives.

The main modules consist of a tripod hub, different tripod heads (ball, 2-way, and 3-way) and telescopic arms and legs of many different lengths.
The operation height of the tripod is 14cm to 127cm, depending on the legs and tripod-head chosen.

Godox Color Effects Set

Already well known in classical photography, the colouring of strobe lights can add some spice and artistic creativity to underwater images.

The Godox Color Effects Set for round flash heads contains two each of 15 creative colour gel filters. Included in the set are Bastard Amber, Straw, Light Amber, Light Flame, Golden Amber, Light Red, No Color Pink, Middle Rose, Light Rose Purple, Surprise Pink, No Color Blue, Daylight Blue, Primary Blue, Moss Green and Blue Green filters. Each single filter has a diam-eter of around 6.5cm, which makes it possible to place it behind the diffusors of the most commonly used underwater strobes such as Sea&Sea, Ikelite and Inon.

Nauticam WACP-2 Wide Angle Conversion Port

Nauticam’s WACP-2 is designed to work with 14mm lenses to produce a (maximum) 140° field of view while maintaining full zoom-through optical capability.

It is designed for full-frame cameras. Since it can focus on air, it is suitable for split-shots as well. When used with wide-angle zoom lenses, i.e. from Canon or Nikon, the wide-angle conversion port provides a field-of-view range from 140-72∞, depending on the lens model used.

Its lens construction consists of four elements in four groups. Its weight at the surface is 7.06kg, while underwater it is 0.85kg (when using the included float collar). The WACP2 is depth-rated to 100m.

Easydive DivePad

This underwater housing for IOS and Android tablet devices (up to 10-inch screen size) allows you to shoot underwater images or videos up to a depth of 60m.

The housing communicates with the tablet via a Bluetooth connection. For IOS devices, a downloadable app allows you to trigger all camera functions; for Android devices, no extra app is required. A “selfie button” allows one to switch between front and rear camera views. The built-in electronic unit has its own battery, which is fully charged within two hours and provides 14 hours of operation.

Chasing Gladius Mini Underwater Drone

This small 15.2 x 8.9 x 5.4in (38.5 x 22.6 x 13.8cm) underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is capable of shooting 4K UHD video and 12 MP stills (jpeg and
DNG formats supported) up to a depth of 328ft (100m).

The built-in 5000 mAh rechargeable battery supports a runtime of two hours. Two built-in LED lights of 1200 lumens each add a little light to underwater scenes.
The ROV is connected to its surface base station by a tether cable; all operations of the vehicle can then be controlled by a smartphone or tablet, which connects to the base station via WiFi (with a maximum range of 10m).

Paralenz Vaquita

This new dive camera from Paralenz features a True Color OLED display and an improved image processor, which auto-corrects white balance while measuring the depth of the dive.

It also has 4K video with 60 frames per second or 1080p with 240 frames per second. It can shoot 12 MP RAW or JPG stills and has a built-in image stabilization. In addition, Vaquita now automatically tracks conductivity, temperature, depth and location (GPS) during a dive. The LCD display has a dive profile overlay, providing dive data on screen. The Paralenz app (for IOS and Android) serves as an intelligent dive log and media library, which automatically organizes all recorded footage neatly. The camera features a 1-inch IMX577 sensor by Sony.

Backscatter MF-1 Mini Flash

With its compact dimension (comparable to a backup dive torch), the MF-1 Mini Flash from Backscatter is mainly designed for macro enthusiasts who favor a narrow beam angle and the possibility to point light to areas or subjects bulky underwater strobes cannot reach.

Backscatter MF-1 Mini Flash

However, this strobe, with its guide number of 16 and its ability to fire 1,400 flashes with a fully charged Nitecore NL1835HP 18650 battery, is, according to the manufacturer, capable of lighting smaller and mid-sized wide-angle scenes or subjects as well, when using the optional diffuser. The strobes support five power settings, is triggered by an optical cable, and has a built-in 500-Lumen focus light, which is adjustable to three different power settings.
