Backscatter Macromate Mini and +10 Diopter Test Footage

[serpentara]

Hi folks.

I recently bought a Macromate Mini and +10 diopter (mounted in the top flip) and took them for a spin on a night dive to Vets Park in Redondo Beach, California. The results were fantastic. Keep in mind the video has been reincoded by YouTube, and the 1080p60 source material looks even better! I look forward to YouTube implementing the 60fps playback that they just announced.

Anyway let me know what you think.

I'm glad to see that the Macromate Mini is performing better that I had anticipated. I wish they had been available when I had a GoPro. It would have saved me a lot of headache.

Nice! Very good camouflage on that little crab!

Thanks for sharing real world examples! Yeah the macromate seems to work much much better for those super macro shots, either that, or your dive glove fingers are about 3" wide each.

great palm shots of the nudi, and various fish. Gotta love that you can actually count grains of sand.


nice lighting work too!


happy bubbles sent your way.
