BACKSCATTER FLASH & SNOOTS
A full ecosystem for macro photography. The Backscatter Mini Flash series, OS-1 snoot, and MW-4300 video light are made for underwater photographers who want control, precision, and creative lighting options for close-up work.
Backscatter Macro Lighting Tools for Underwater Photography
This category includes Backscatter’s full macro lighting ecosystem—centered around the Mini Flash MF-1 and MF-2 strobes, the OS-1 Optical Snoot, and the MW-4300 video light. These tools are built for photographers who want tight control over small subjects, especially in close-focus macro and super macro work.
The Mini Flash strobes are compact, reliable, and offer both manual and TTL options. With the optional OS-1 snoot attached, you can isolate a nudibranch, highlight a crab’s eye, or sculpt light in dark sand environments. For macro video, the MW-4300 delivers a soft, even beam that can be paired with snoots or diffusers. Accessories like color filters, filter holders, and the remote muck stick expand how and where you can use your light—whether you're working from a tripod or handholding.
Precise Macro Photography
All gear in this category is designed to work together without adding bulk to your rig. Whether you’re just getting into macro snooting or fine-tuning your setup for serious creative control, this system offers a clear and flexible path forward. It's a practical choice for divers who want to focus light exactly where it matters—nothing more, nothing less.
