What’s New About this Product?
Easy Setup
A smooth and seamless set up means more time to explore your creativity below. The tubes can be mounted to a camera or other accessories so you can free up your hands. Before you dive in, the Godox Light App also allows you to select the color temperature, change the level of brightness, light effects and more from the touch of your fingers.
Dive Deeper with Light
You can illuminate at the deepest of depths by taking the Godox lights up to 40m under water. Explore how the soft light can reintroduce the color spectrum below the surface. As divers know, the deeper you dive, the further you experience the loss of color due to the water’s absorption of natural light. Without external underwater dive lights, the water may appear more blue-green, or cloudy and murky due to the lack of light.
The Godox WT series will not only enhance your underwater photography experience, but aid in your ability to capture the magic of the underwater world. Illuminate your subjects with continuous light so you can capture your subjects in their true glory — from divers, to marine animals, coral, and everything in between.
If you are looking at night diving, adding external underwater dive lights is essential for photography and videography. The Godox WT series offers an innovative feature that automatically transitions to high power mode once submerged. This will deliver higher brightness that is indispensable for photographers and videographers exploring the depths below.
Exceptional Color Range
Adding light to mimic the effects of the sun is going to improve vibrancy and saturation below the surface, alongside a variety of CCT, HSI, GEl and RGBWW modes and thousands of colors available. The Godox WT series allows you to explore your colorful imagination and rebalance the colors absorbed by the water for more precise color correction.
Lets take a quick look at how to adjust color while underwater:
White light is great for illuminating your subject, and softening and diffusing light. Therefore, the image is balanced and less harsh on the surroundings. However, white light may scare off shy marine animals.
That’s where orange and red light can come in. Better suited for deeper dives and balancing colors, red and orange are the first tones to disappear as you descend. This means everything will appear to be more blue. Correcting this with a red or orange light will allow you to rebalance your vision and add saturation to your subject — whether it’s coral, marine life, or an underwater subject.
A purple light can allow you to correct greens — think lakes, rivers, and areas with algae or lower visibility. This assists in increasing visibility and further capturing your true artistic vision.
These are just some ways to explore the deepths below when it comes to underwater photography and videography. However, the possibilities for creativity are endless with the thousands of colors available within these Godox dive lights.
Long Battery Life and Quick Charging
With up to two hours of performability at the maximum brightness with the Godox WT60R and WT60D dive lights, you can focus your attention on your underwater photography and fillmmaking. A quick glance at the the power indicator displays the the amount of power you are consuming to help you plan your time accordingly. You won’t be pulled from the present moment and your time below the surface. The quick charging of the WT25R, WT25D, WT40R, and WT40D keep the productivity and dives going.
