The Ultimate Compact Video Light for Macro, Wide, and Snooting The Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light is the ultimate video light for any video or photo shooter. Its compact size is great for travel, it’s versatile for macro and wide shooters, and offers practical signaling options usable on any dive that goes way beyond a simple SOS pattern. The 4300-lumen wide beam is great for compact camera shooters looking for a small compact light that has a bright output for wide angle video.The 1400-lumen macro beam has been tailor-made for macro video shooters for all levels, from GoPro and compact all the way to full-frame SLR and cinema.Photographers looking for a focus light have plenty of power, plus a red mode for night time to avoid spooking critters and avoiding “the swarmies” from congregating all over your light and ruining the shot.Divemasters and guides will love the Alert and Beacon modes to get a diver's attention and to mark off locations on a night dive.Read on to learn all of the features and various uses for this highly versatile light. A 1400-Lumen Spot Beam Tailored Specifically for Macro Shooting The spot beam on the Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light was made specifically with macro shooters in mind. The tight, narrow beam with a hard edge has a beam pattern that will light up the subject without light spilling over into other unwanted areas of the shot. To get even tighter beam patterns, pair the Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light with the Backscatter Optical Snoot OS-1. Because macro mode is so bright, it has 5 power level settings to provide more granular control of the light output.For compact camera users, the light is bright enough to be used in place of a strobe for stills photography. For a pro-level macro shooter, this is all the light you’ll ever need for macro video. A Video Light Built For Snooting Snooting has been very popular for photography in the past few years. It’s a great way to isolate a macro subject that usually blends into its environment and make it stand out and add more dramatic lighting. Snooting used to be limited to still photography. No more. The Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light has a spot beam designed specifically for the macro video shooter. This has been hard for video applications as most lights don’t have snooting capability, aren’t bright enough with a snoot, or if it is bright enough, are way too large to be practical for macro shooting.The Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light was designed from the ground up to be used with the Backscatter Optical Snoot OS-1. The macro light pattern matches perfectly to the snoot to ensure the brightest beam possible for a snoot and video combination at a fraction of the size of larger lights. 4300-Lumens of Power for Wide The 4300 lumen 85 degree wide beam pattern is designed specifically for wide angle video. The beam pattern has been tailored with a balance between beam angle and brightness. This makes it ideal for getting good light on foreground subjects while still making it easy to avoid introducing backscatter into the image. The wide mode has 3 power level settings. Red Mode For Stealth on Night Dives Use the red mode for night diving as a focus light for macro, or for setting up a video scene. It's perfect for stealthily approaching skittish critters that don’t like a light at nighttime. The red mode has 3 power level settings. Calibrated Wide Angle Color Temperature The wide beam on each light is individually calibrated at the factory for color temperature, ensuring that when using a pair of lights together for wide angle, the two lights will match. Our factory settings for wide angle are calibrated at 6000K which strikes a perfect balance between white balancing for foreground and background color.The macro beam is ~5000K which brings great saturated color reproduction to macro images. Use It As a Signaling Tool With Alert and Beacon Modes In addition to the wide, spot, and red modes, the Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light has 2 additional modes that are great for divers and dive guides.With Alert mode, a quick pulsing flash makes it easy to get another diver's attention at distances past the limits of visibility. This makes it easy to find the rest of a group on a dive and an easy way for a dive guide to gain the attention of a wayward diver.The Beacon mode acts as a signaling device and makes it great for marking a spot on a night dive where there is a subject of interest for the rest of the group to see or to mark an entry/exit spot on a night dive. Use different Beacon patterns on multiple lights to indicate specific places along the dive. The Beacon flashing pattern can be customized for personal preference with the following patterns:GLOW: Slowly ramp up and ramp down the light in a slow pulsing signal. This is the default BEACON setting from the factory.PING: 2 quick flashes every 2 seconds.SOS: International signal for SOS All of the Backscatter Mini Flash MF-1 Accessories Work with the Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Video Light Already own a Backscatter Mini Flash MF-1?
