Pro-V8 LED Video Lite. (sold separately)

When the sun isn't quite there for you, the Pro-V8 LED Video Lite gives all the light you need to bring out the ocean's true colors. The Pro-V8 features a warm, even 45° beam over a whopping 10-hour burn time. The flex arm allows the light to be repositioned effortlessly. Requires the #9523.51 Video Compact Tray, sold separately.
For more light, add a second Pro-V8 LED or the Pro Video Lite 3 system with the #9523.52 Dual Tray. Requires #9523.51 Tray to attach to the Compact Video Housing.

External Accessory Lenses. (sold separately)

An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to your subject while still fitting everything in the frame. By reducing the amount of water between the subject and your camera lens, the resulting image will be more crisp and colorful. 

Attach 67mm threaded #6420 Ikelite W-20, Inon Type II, and Epoque lenses using the #9306.78 Port Adapter. This adapter can also be used to attach 67mm threaded macro lenses. The W-20 Lens accepts filters #6441.42 for blue water or #6441.82 for green water settings.

Attach bayonet style Inon macro and UWL-100 28AD, UWL-105AD or UFL-165AD wide angle lenses using the #9306.85 port adapter.
