I have recently received information about the appearance of Watershot brand products in Poland. I decided to see what interesting is hidden under this name and I must admit that the effects pleasantly surprised me. If anyone of you is in any way involved in filming underwater, I am sure you will be curious to see the list of lights and parameters of Watershot products.

Apart from a few interesting “lamps” dedicated to professionals, my attention was drawn to two items dedicated to GoPro or Intova SP1 cameras. We are talking about models V900 and V1800. Both versions will make our recordings gain a new dimension of quality.

The main element is the handle, in which a lithium-ion battery is integrated. It powers (depending on the model) a light with 900 or 1800 lumens and a 75° angle of illumination. The light colour is 5600K.

The Watershot V900 and V1800 provide the user with a choice of 1 of 4 modes. Each of them has a different power consumption, so switching between them can save the battery. Power mode offers 1.5h (V900) and 3h (V1800), medium 3h/6h, economy 6h/12h and strobe 15h/30h. A battery charge indicator completes the package.

Both Watershot products can be safely taken to depths of 150m, which allows them to be described as versatile in terms of the type of diving they can be used for.

Price: V1800 – 3429pln, V900 – 2619pln
