Powerful Features for Macro and Wide Angle Shooters

• Ultra-Bright 4300-Lumen Beam: Perfect for wide-angle videography, the 4300-lumen wide beam is designed to deliver vibrant illumination while minimizing backscatter, making it ideal for compact camera setups.

Whether you’re shooting with a GoPro, DSLR, or a cinema camera, this beam is your go-to for macro shots.
• Red Mode for Stealth Night Diving: Use the red mode for stealthy illumination, reducing disturbances to nocturnal sea creatures and preventing “swarmies” from clustering around the light.

Built-In Alert and Beacon Modes

For divemasters and underwater guides, the Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 includes both Alert and Beacon modes:

• Alert Mode: Emits quick flashes to easily catch divers' attention, especially in low-visibility waters.

Enhance Creativity with Backscatter Accessories

The Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 seamlessly integrates with the Backscatter Optical Snoot OS-1 and other Backscatter accessories.
