Unique to the underwater filming arena, the Dive Rite RX Video Lighting System is a four LED array that shoots clear, even light, filling up the capture area perfectly. Designed without a reflector, the RX Video light emits a wide angle flood light with absolutely no hot spots. With 880 system lumen output and four hours burn time at full power with one head and two hours of burn time at full power for the dual head, this light has no competition and is an excellent companion to the Go Pro Hero camera series.

The RX Video Light is available in several configurations according to diver preference:

• Model: LT9800HEAD-V-S Video head on standard lid with standard light cable and Goodman handmount. MSRP: $500

• Model: LT9800HEAD-V-70 Video head on 70 degree sidemount lid with standard light cable and Goodman handmount. MSRP: $500
• Model: LT9800HEAD-V-WT Video head with wet pluggable pigtail and Goodman handmount. Pigtail is 6-inches from back of head to end of plug. Pigtails can be ordered in customized lengths up to 48-inches. MSRP: $500
• Model: LT9800-V-DUAL Video system with dual head and wet pluggable heads and Y connector, plus Goodman handmount. The cord length of the Y splitter can be up to 48-inches (please specify when ordering). MSRP: $1100

Very unusual to place the 2 lights so close to each other and the camera itself.

What motivated this design?

Any pointers for preventing backscatter? When I have my current video light within ~10" of my GoPro, even in imperceptible silt conditions, I still get quite a bit of backscatter.

I shot cave video with the Hero, Hero 2 and now the Black. The Hero 2 needed two lights to get fill lighting that covered the camera area. It took more than that with the original Hero. Now that I shoot with the Black, one of the lights is now a dive light. you can't really make a cave dive with a video light so I wanted to have both together.

For me it was about the light, you have to have the right intensity to not burn out the image. Our RX video light has absolutely no hot spots so I don't burn out the image, particulate in the water shows up but doesn't reflect back, gives a cool feeling to the scene to see it without the back scatter.
