Thanks Matthias for posting this great review, will be getting a new set to complement my much loved, 3 year old KELDAN's , they are the best out there.

By far the best Underwater Video Lights, use Keldan lights for years and had the opportunity to test the remote control and also the Ambient lights in Malapascua and Tubbataha back in March 2024. Absolutely incredible light technology.

Couldn't agree more mate!

Hi Matthias, what are your recommended settings for DJI Action 5 Pro when going down in the ocean?

Nice video Matthias ! Also refreshing to see a review that's not Divevolk, action, gopro... 🙂 (you were losing me personally there)

[@MatthiasLebo]

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Not always easy to get hold of many different gear components for testing so I'm relying a little bit on what manufacturers are willing to supply for testing and reviewing. I just can't buy everything out of my own pocket unfortunately.

[@Joeri2K3]

@@MatthiasLebo I can totally understand it (can't buy all that gear & if nobody sends you stuff). I was also referring to the stream of action cam content and tips&tricks. But probably you get more interest for that content than the A7SIII & Red etc content/ tips & tricks...

Great video Matthias! Currently trying to convince myself that it makes sense to buy such a huge light because I'd love to use it. Do they have a smaller version with the integrated blue light filter?

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you Carlo. The light is actually not THAT big. Well I guess it depends on what kind of setup you're using it. Kinda big on a GoPro, but works very well even there. 😉 No, they don't have a smaller one with the ambient blue filter integrated. But they might in the future. They have an 4X light which is basically half the size. So I can see them coming up with something along those lines. We'll see. The future will tell... Hope you're guys are doing well?

Thanks Matthias! Do you think these lights will fit my EMWL rig? I just started using it and currently I'm using the old 8x standard lights with 15K lumens. I always do manual balance underwater and so far I haven't used the Ambient Filter AF 12 BG that I have.

[@rebeccadarling5894]

Do you think that Keldan is interested in a WRGBU light any time soon, or is that too gimmicky for their target market? You know I have a love-hate relationship with my Krakens, but that feature is a pure joy that I can’t ever go back from!

[@MatthiasLebo]

I don't know Rebecca, but my gut is telling me: NO! I can not see people using KELDAN lights being interested too much in this. I can imagine you'd have to sacrifice some other features in order to include that into the lights and I'm pretty sure that wouldn't wanna go down that path. Sorry Rebecca...

[@rebeccadarling5894]

@ totally agree and totally fair. I am a playful weirdo first and an image maker maybe sixth or seventh 😜

[@MaciejJeszkeP]

price is best too ... 2700 Euro..

[@MatthiasLebo]

Well, as I said in the video, with these things you really get what you pay for... 🤷🏻‍♂️
