Review on Suptig XShot: Waterproof LED Video Light (45m), Dimmable for Optimal GoPro Camera Performance by Dustin Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great light for GoPro macro photography.

Cool accessories for GoPro for diving! I've owned it for a while and finally had the chance to try it a couple of weeks ago. I did 6 dives in 2 days with my GoPro 5 (in a dive box with special filter and macro lens). I only turned the light on when I wanted to take a picture and immediately turned it off again and the battery lasted the whole time! We went down about 140 feet and never had a problem with it. It's not very bright - it won't be useful as a key light for diving or for lighting large areas for video with big sea bass or whatever, but for macro lighting it's perfect! A problem with the macro lens I have for the Go Pro, is that I can't use it AND the filter. So light really helps with the colors. I mounted it on the float handle and mounted the GoPro on top of the flashlight. Depending on the shot, I turned the gopro upside down and aimed the light so that the scene was "more naturally" lit from above. I found this very easy to use. see the photo of a flatworm I took as an example.
