ORCATORCH D710V 2000 Lumens Underwater Video Light, White Red Violet Tri-Color, 120-Degree Wide Beam Scuba Flashlight for Dive Photography Fill Light and Fluorescent Night Diving

La lámpara es una maravilla; la posibilidad de tener diferentes luces durante un buceo nocturno es fundamental para respetar la vida marina. Use la luz roja y ultravioleta durante un nocturno y me cambió el buceo. Todo buzo nocturno debe tener una.

I've owned the original version of this light for years, so I was excited to put the updated model through its paces during my recent trip to Cozumel. OrcaTorch managed to make it noticeably smaller while increasing the output, and the difference is immediately obvious underwater. The brighter, more focused beam was excellent for illuminating Cozumel's swim-throughs and caves during the day, while still being compact enough that I hardly noticed it mounted to my camera housing. One of my favorite improvements is the red light mode. For underwater photography on night dives, it's a huge advantage because it lets you work around marine life with far less disturbance before switching to white light when needed. I used this light mounted directly to my underwater camera housing throughout several night dives, and it performed flawlessly. Although some of the attached photos show my son using the light, that's simply because it made for a great subject while I was behind the camera. I've been diving with OrcaTorch lights for years, and they're the only dive lights I trust and carry. The build quality is exceptional, the controls are easy to operate even with gloves, and they've proven to be incredibly reliable dive after dive. If you own the original version, this is absolutely worth the upgrade. If you're looking for your first premium dive light, I can recommend this one without hesitation—it's another outstanding product from OrcaTorch that earns a well-deserved five stars.

Buen producto. la luz blanca muy potente, la roja muy bien y el UV más tenue pero acercando la linterna se ve muy bien las cosas que reflejan UV. Recomendado

I’ve been really happy with the OrcaTorch D710V MK2. It’s compact, feels solid, and the wide beam gives nice, even lighting without a harsh hotspot. The white light is bright enough for most of my filming, and having red and UV modes in the same light is a great bonus, especially on night dives. The controls are simple to use even with gloves, and USB-C charging makes it convenient for travel. Battery life has been good, although I’d still bring a spare battery for multiple dives. Overall, it’s a well-built and versatile video light that I’d recommend to underwater photographers and videographers.

I love this light more than I expected to. I’ll get to that a little later in this review. I’ll start with the easy part - the construction. This is an Orcatorch and is everything I have come to expect from them. It is made from airplane grade aluminum and you can feel the quality, Everything about the light feels like it is made to last. From the switch, which feels solid and has a nice little LED light in the center to let you know charge status, and the way that the light opens for the battery compartment so smoothly - you know this is not a cheap light. It is solid. It comes with two batteries, and I really like that. It is always nice to have an extra battery to change in between dives and not having to worry about charging on a boat or at the beach. These batteries have a USB C port built right in so to charge them you just plug a USB C cable into the battery and plug the other end into a power source. The D710V MK2 also comes with a convenient USB C to A cable but any one should work. The light has a triple O-ring design so as long as you keep them clean and lubricated you should not have a flooding problem. It also comes with an extra set of 3 O-rings so this really is meant to last many years and many dives. Now to the meat and potatoes of this review - how it performs. I’ll start with saying that I already own the D710V MK1 - and that has been my favorite video dive light for a while. And when I saw the specs on the MK2 I was a bit skeptical. On paper it is a bit brighter but it comes at the cost of a little bit of battery life. I thought this was a bad idea. And then I went diving with it. The MK2 is noticeably brighter than the MK1 - much more than I expected. It really is going to make a difference in my underwater photos and videos. It is really nice and has no rough edges around the perimeter of the light - perfect for pictures and videos, I took it on a long dive - 69 minutes and he LED light was still green - so the light should last a long time. Will it last two dives? Probably not, but after a bit of thought I realized the MK1 would not either. So it still has more than enough power for a very long dive and it had that nice added bonus of extra brightness - one that you will really appreciate. On the MK1 I never really used the red or ultra-violet modes, They did not seen strong enough to be very useful, On the MK2 both these modes have a huge boost in power and it is VERY noticeable, Overall, I strongly recommend this light. It is reasonably priced and will make an excellent primary video dive light. Your pictures and videos will thank you.
