The LitraTorch 2.0 video light and Paralenz Dive Camera make an excellent pairing for underwater timelapse and video
Litra is known for topside pocket-sized studio lighting contraptions. So when I received a LitraTorch 2.0 photo and video light in the mail, I was a little taken aback by the design. It didn’t look like any video light I had every taken underwater. But ten minutes into my first dive with the LitraTorch 2.0, I was blown away by the Litra’s adaptability to the ocean. I’ve never seen so much power coming from a little 3 ounce box.

Fantasea introduces a compact, rugged underwater housing for the Sony a6400 featuring a new hybrid vacuum safety system
The Sony a6400 represents one of the few remaining affordable mirrorless options for underwater photographers in a market that is increasingly moving to the high and low ends of the spectrum. In recent years there have been fewer middle-lane, APS-C sensor and mirrorless cameras with good housing options. Thankfully the Sony a6400 is a wonderful camera with top notch underwater performance, and even better underwater housing options.

Ikelite introduces a durable and compact underwater housing for the Sony a6400 mirrorless camera featuring compatibility with the Sony a6300, a6400, and a6500.
The Sony a6400 is one of the world’s top APS-C sensor cameras. It also has the distinction of being a small, mirrorless camera compatible with Sony’s high-quality E-mount lenses and boasts exciting autofocus capability – including the new Animal Eye AF function. It’s a true testament to how far photography has come when a camera of the a6400’s capability can be offered at a price point as low as $899.

Panasonic introduces the S1H, the first full-frame mirrorless cinema camera capable of 6K video!
When Panasonic released the S1 and S1R earlier this year, it woke the world up to what the full-frame mirrorless revolution meant for video. But the announcement of the Panasonic Lumix S1H is a revolution in its own right. Every line of camera has its pivotal model and the S1H will be the Panasonic S-series’ shining star.

The Symbiosis SS3 strobe and video light has a lot to offer for underwater photography and video in a small package.
In a world where every gadget we own has more functions than their original intentions, it’s only fitting that the same is happening with underwater gear. I’m not saying we’ll all be able to access the internet underwater or anything like that, but underwater lighting has become a lot more versatile. iDiveSite (formerly iTorch) has spearheaded this innovation with their line of Symbiosis strobe-video light hybrid systems, making both underwater videography and photography accessible in the same dive for an unbeatable price!

When the Canon EOS R made its debut as Canon’s flagship full-frame mirrorless camera, the world’s largest camera manufacturer solidified a global shift away from DSLRs to professional mirrorless cameras. The development of a new RF mount and RF lenses was a testament to Canon’s commitment. Because of this, many photographers expected something amazing to come out of Canon’s flagship full-frame mirrorless camera.

An in-depth review of the Paralenz Dive Camera featuring an underwater video camera built for scuba diving
The Paralenz Dive Camera is a new action camera, developed by scuba divers and made for scuba diving. For years major brands such as GoPro have left scuba divers on the fringe of their extreme-sports market. But Paralenz has gone above and beyond in catering to divers and customizing their camera in every way possible to fit scuba divers’ needs.
