M18 thread huh? ;) It might be an M8 but for sure that ain't an M18.

You're right, I copied a typo in an email

I just played with one of these in Bonaire. The UV light is great and a lot of fun to play with at night!

Hello, do you think it would be powerful enough as a primary light for a holiday dive in clear water? I do appreciate a wide angle even without filming, it helps see more and I feel it's less disturbing for the animal you're looking at.

[@ScubaDiverMagazine]

For looking around in clear water I'll rarely go over 500 lumens. It's rare that I use anything other than the lowest power setting on a torch in clear waters.

Hello! Thx for the video! I am looking for torch with UV or Blue lights.... A part of this orcatorch, which other brands sell them? I am surprised when i see the characteristics of the UV light on this orcatorch (just 2.5 Lumens). It is normal? Thanks

[@gemmaprietoaguilar]

Could you make a video for fluo diving ? =D

[@ScubaDiverMagazine]

There are a handful of brands that make Fluoro lights. They're normally floodlights for photography like this OrcaTorch. My mind goes to the SeaLife SeaDragon range, Light&Motion make the NightSea which I think used to make a yellow lens to go over your mask and BigBlue make a handful of fluoro lights I think. They're quite niche so you don't see that many on the market but, they are cool to play with...

#askmark What’s this like for still photo use? What sort of light would you recommend for using with a canon g7xiii with the intention of doing both video & still footage. I’ve had issues recently in uk waters of backscatter when using a video light. Cheers

#askmark The D710V comes with a ZJ18 ball mount with an orange rubber grommet, if you buy the ZJ18 separately you get a yellow grommet which is slightly smaller, so a D710 won’t fit without forcing it. Does Orcatorch intend to make the orange grommet version available to buy separately?

[@ORCATORCHWorldwide]

Hello Raving,thanks for your information,here is OrcaTorch. You're right,we previously had ZJ18 mount with yellow rubber grommet. But when D710V comes out,we reduced the thickness of inside rubber and changed it to orange one,thus it could fit for both D710 and D710V. We're sorry that there might be some old-version stocks at some points of sales if you buy seperately. Have you already got a yellow ZJ18?

[@RAVINGMUNSTER]

@ORCATORCHWorldwide yes, unfortunately the ZJ18 I bought had the yellow grommet which doesn't fit as I'd like.

Hi Mark, A couple of comments, I've found that the bolts all suffer surface corrosion pretty early, so before use a good application of silicone grease for protection is essential. Also with Go Pro mount, it keeps a lot of water inside it, so it's really important to strip all of the components down when you get home and flush / soak with fresh water, and again lubricate all surfaces with silicone grease. The torch itself is very good and has a nice wide cover, but I'd recommend 2 for video. The Orcatorch Tray is good and reliable. Overall I'd give it an 8/10. PS I think you should do a DJI Action review - they really are good, here's some footage.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDQi6aJrc-eg7s
