Top underwater cinematography source offers new waterproof light.
Few know underwater cinematography and how to light the great blue sea, better than Pete Romano ASC. His unique specialty has made him sought after for most major films where's there's any underwater action. His 40-year underwater track record is unmatched. IMDB tries but at 159 credits for film and television they just skim the surface, especially considering the multitude of commercials, music videos and documentaries to count.

When it comes to underwater, he's seen it all. But when he tried LitraStudio it was a whole new thing, Litra is great he says, It's a surprisingly powerful little beast with great intensity, but the fact that it goes underwater without a housing is a really big deal.
With a deceptively small footprint, LitraStudio delivers 3,000 Lumens of color accurate RGBWW output-totally cable-free. Complete with integral interior battery, there's an array of operating features like Bluetooth or DMX control, color tuning, gel, effects and more-all in a rugged, solution that goes underwater to 30' below.
According to Pete, the accessories make it viable. The silicone diffuser is quite useful and the handle is perfect. What really sold me is the battery. The 9000 mAh rechargeable, hot-swappable Lithium Ion battery stays safe within the light's sealed waterproof door.
We just did a TV show scene in a pool in Los Angeles, explains Romano, and the electrical department loved it. It's a great little run and gun light. That's why I added it to my rental inventory in Los Angeles, and will also be renting them out through Cinemoves Atlanta. Hydroflex kits the LitraStudio in a compact Pelican case complete with the light, 2 batteries, a fast charger and other accessories.
