INON has introduced two new macro lenses for the GoPro. Due to the short focusing distance, you can now also capture small subjects in full frame.

When you purchase a new camera, strobe or lamp, you will choose this with care. Unfortunately less attention is given to choose the arms for the strobe or videolight. The choice of the right arm system is very important. We will explain why.

Underwater photography is just amazing, but capturing its beauty requires more than just a camera and a housing. To truly improve your underwater shots, consider adding ambient filters to your strobes or videolight.
