Photo/video light

Underwater imaging is fundamentally an exercise in light management. Water absorbs, scatters, and color-strips ambient illumination, requiring artificial sources that restore spectral accuracy, control beam geometry, and eliminate backscatter. XTAR’s photo/video line addresses the full imaging spectrum—from macro fluorescence studies to wide-angle documentary cinematography.

Mounting Flexibility for Existing Rigs

Professional underwater photographers have significant capital invested in arm and tray ecosystems from manufacturers like Nauticam, Aquatica, Sea&Sea, Inon, and Ultralight Control Systems. XTAR photo/video lights are engineered for universal compatibility rather than proprietary lock-in:

Standardized 1/4-inch ball mounts on all D30 series bodies, enabling direct attachment to existing clamp systems without adapter purchase
Goodman handle cross-use: D30 lights can be wrist-mounted via XTAR Goodman handles for hands-free macro work when the photographer needs both hands for subject manipulation or focus pulling

This mounting philosophy protects rental fleet operators and photography workshop providers from redundant accessory inventory—one arm system serves multiple light brands, and XTAR lights drop into existing workflows without ecosystem migration costs.

Standard Battery Sizes for Production Convenience

The D30 series utilizes standardized 18650 battery configurations (1×18650/26650 for D30 1600; 4×18650 for D30 4000/6000). XTRA also provide USB-C 18650 batteries. This enables easy battery management. Production companies can maintain centralized battery inventories rather than proprietary charger ecosystems.
