We have listened to customer feedback and have incorporated their input into the new G6 primary light design.New narrower beam angle while still maintaining good peripheral light. The new 6˚ beam angle has a tighter and hotter center spot while still providing enough peripheral light to see around you. This new beam will perform better […]
We love seeing out kit put to good use! Checkout the official trailer for Blue, an environmental film focusing on the ocean. Underwater cinematography is by Jon Shaw at Gin Clear Film, who uses dual LD-100Vs with short canisters (107whr) as his go to lighting solution. Well done guys!
