Here's some video that I shot using a pair of the D32VRs, last week in Cozumel.

The Devil's Throat - YouTube Santa Rosa Wall, Cozumel - YouTube

Both lights were on full power and my Panasonic HDC-HS700 was on "Intelligent Auto" (auto exposure and white balance). Despite the 1/2 power flicker problem, I like them very much. Before I bought these, I was using a Chinese (no real brand name) 2900 lumen HID and after diffusing to get rid of the hot spot, the light output dropped by a stop.

In response to saltigagt, I get the 1/2 power flicker at both 60 and 30 frames per second.

As for YS arm adapters, I bought 2 "Universal Light Bar Mount (YS type)" from FUN-IN Underwater Photo Equipment Co. F.I.T. Universal Light Bar Mount (YS type) I have seen these elsewhere, on-line being sold specifically for the D32VR. It is a clever combination of an existing YS adapter (I'm not certain for which light) and a Topeak F55 Fixer screwed onto it. The Topeak fixer is a device for mounting accessories on bicycles. This adapter works quite well for me.

For the D32vr owners: Mine just arrived today. Is there any way to get ALL LEDS working? (Red+white) at the same time?? For UW video I definitely need the reds too.

I am soon going to buy the GoPro amd am trying to have acomplete list of accessories to buy at the same time.
Based on this post I have the following:

- Handle and red filter from SRP
- Light(s) from Archon. What is the minimum amount of Lumen required (I start with one light)
- Arms from ????
-Other accessories required?

Thanks.

As for lumens, 1000 (real, not "chinese") seem to be reasonable. I just quicktested the D32vr, at "high" I get a nice video brightness and about1/50sec exposure time if a white target is around 0.5m from the camera and the(real) iso is at 100. This was all in air, but sounds promising for clear water.As for filter, I'll probably put a Hoya 85C on the light.Regarding arm, I was thinking on a 18" flex arm (+still need to find a clamp).Or I just get a hand bracket... BTW: flickering IS an issue if the light is set to medium brightness, but on full its all fine.

FUN-IN Underwater Photo Equipment seem so be out of the YS arm adapters {clamps) that I spoke of earlier and their price has gone up a bit ($25). DiverVision U/W Photo equipment has them for $20 each.

They also have a ball version. I bought mine from FUN-IN because they mailed the pair of them to me for $10. DiverVision wanted more for EMS shipping. Perhaps if you contacted DiverVision, they may have lower cost mailing options.

Maybe DIY: 1/8x1" Aluminium strip (Lowes) piece of PVC a little larger diameter than light to use a form, bend strip around form with pliers , leave legs to accomodate ball attachment slug end, drill hole for 5/8 SS screw, paint flat black, apply bicycle inner tube (I used thorn puncture resistant) insert ball with slug 5/8th hole and attach ball to tray with ball clamp. This one was for my MagicShine light

Wonder what happens if you use "De-noise" in your software. Using De-Noise in PD11 seems to remove the GoPro scan lines like I see in your clips, wonder what it would do for the flicker...

Hi folks, I'm planning to get a couple of Archon D32VR. My only question is, does this come with a charger? If not, what type of charger do I need and where can I get one from? Thanks in advance!

 

[avigulf]

Yes it comes with a charger. The manufacturer has changed the name to W32VR but seems the dealers not.
