Lexar CFexpress Type B Gold Series Memory Cards

New faster CFexpress Type B Gold Series memory cards from Lexar have been released, offering read and write speeds of up to 1,900MB/s and 1,500MB/s respectively.

The cards' maximum read/write speeds in their prior iterations (with capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB) were 1,750MB/s and 1,500MB/s respectively. The series now includes new 1TB and 2TB iterations.

With a minimum continuous write speed of 1,300MB/s, Lexar claims the cards can record 8K RAW footage without the fear of frame drops. The new Gold Series cards' minimum sustained write speed is just 300MB/s slower than that of Lexar's top-of-the-line Diamond Series cards.

Ikelite USB Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead

Now, you can charge your camera and download photographs quickly through USB, using Ikelite's newest invention—a USB charging and data download bulkhead—exactly like how you would when you are on dry land.

The new bulkhead is easy to install via the M16 port and is compatible with several Ikelite 200DL and 50DL underwater housings. It also comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable that links the port to your camera within the housing. All that is left to do after installation is to unscrew the bulkhead cap and plug in.

Aquatica Sync Cord Clamps

When used to attach the sync cord to your camera rig’s strobe arm, Aquatica’s sync cord clamps stop the sync cord from floating in front of your camera lens.

Indeed, the clamps help to keep your strobe sync cords nicely connected to the strobe arms without the need to wrap sync cords around the arms, or risk having them free-flowing in front of your lens the moment the shot-of-a-lifetime comes in reach. One package includes 15 silicone-made clamps.

AOI LCD Magnifier for Olympus TG-3, TG-4, TG-5, TG-6

The LCD Magnifier from AOI cuts out annoying screen glare and allows you to get a sharp, magnified image from the LCD screen on Olympus TG-3, TG-4, TG-5 and TG-6 systems.

AOI UMG-01 Magnifier

The magnified screen makes shooting the Olympus TG-3, TG-4, TG-5 and TG-6 much easier, specifically in super macro. The loupe-style viewfinder with a magnification factor of 2.3x cuts out the glare that is often quite disturbing when shooting in water with lots of sunlight. The magnifier snaps directly and securely onto the back of the housing, replacing the existing screen hood. The focal length of the eyepiece can be adjusted to get it dialed in exactly to where your eyes focus best. Weight: 205g on land, 99g underwater.

AOI Close-up Lenses

In order to shoot proper images of the tiniest critters, even a good macro lens can easily reach its limits. When it comes to serious magnification, a close-up lens can deliver. Standard values are usually +5 and +10 diopters, sometimes with the option to stack several close-up lenses.

The UCL-90PRO and the UCL-09PRO by AOI are depth-rated to 60m (200ft) and provide a magnification of +18.5 diopters (UCL-90PRO) or +12.5 diopters (UCL-09PRO).

PWRBOARD modular charging station

The PWRBOARD consists of a board featuring an array of holes that accept various kinds of charging modules arranged in user-customisable configurations, allowing one to charge literally every kind of battery/akku with one single device.

Each charger draws its power from the board and the number is limited only by the available space. The PWRBOARD is available in two sizes, Mini (23cm x 35cm) and Classic (33cm x 50cm). The 30+ different available charging modules (attachable to the PWRBOARD) will support batteries for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm, GoPro and DJI cameras, various smartphones as well as AA, AAA and V-mount batteries.

Backscatter FLIP Filter System for GoPro HERO9

The One Filter Kit includes one color-correction filter and an aircraft-grade aluminum “flip-frame” system that is compatible with the new GoPro Hero 9 action cam (older GoPro Hero models are supported as well).

Depending on the location of the dive, different filters can be exchanged, correcting the underwater colors in blue and green waters. Additionally, a “double flip” system (two mounted interchangeable filters) is available as an extra feature.

Isotta dive mask

The Isotta transparent dive mask has been specifically designed for photo shoots with underwater models. It features a large, retro-style, single-lens design, which makes it easier for underwater photographers to get enhanced or highlighted eyes and facial features of underwater models.

SanDisk Extreme Pro CFexpress

The new Extreme Pro CFexpress cards by SanDisk and Western Digital offer transfer speeds of up to 1700MB/s to read and up to 1400 MB/s to write.

The new CFexpress card format is rapidly being adopted by high-end cameras, such as the Canon EOS-1D X Mk III, Nikon D6, Nikon Z6 and Z7, as well as the Panasonic Lumix S1 and Lumix S1R.
The Cfexpress Card Type B is backwards-compatible with select XQD cameras that adopt firmware enabling Cfexpress.
Available memory capacities are 64, 128, 256 and 512 GB.
