Key Technical Features & Upgrades

• Intuitive Push-Button Dimmer Dial: The defining V2 generation upgrade is the integrated control wheel. Where legacy models required cycling through static power increments with repetitive button clicks, the V2 features a smooth dimmer dial. Adjust your lighting values instantly and seamlessly from any power level to any other—even while wearing thick cold-water drysuit gloves.
• Dual-Beam Versatility: The 3,000-lumen flood beam covers an ultra-wide 110° angle, perfectly optimized for wide-angle video and general environmental illumination. Switch instantly to the sharp 2,000-lumen, 15° spotlight beam to gain critical reach for tracking routes, signaling dive buddies, or separating tight macro focus subjects.
• Advanced Fiber-Optic Burst Mode: Sync the light directly to your camera housing’s built-in flash using a standard fibre optic cable. The Hydra 3000 V2 will detect the signal and trigger a high-power brightness spike timed perfectly to your shutter release. While it does not replace a traditional xenon strobe for high-speed action photography, it provides vastly superior contrast and colour rendering for macro tracking on nudibranchs, cleaner shrimp, and structural marine life.
• Travel-Optimized Framework: Weighing just 350 grams on land, this light packs down easily into any compact camera tray or carry-on travel kit without weighing down your luggage allowance. It is depth rated to 100 metres (330 feet) and features convenient USB-C internal battery charging capability.

Integrated Creative Colour Modes

The advanced multi-LED core allows you to switch effortlessly between specialized colour outputs:

• White Flood & Spot: General crisp illumination measuring 5500K wide / 6500K spot for lifelike daytime footage.
• Red Light Mode: Perfect as a stealth focus light for night exploration. It lets you see clearly without throwing off fish or spooking sensitive nocturnal marine life.
• Green Light Mode: An exceptional alternative focus light. Many modern camera sensors lock focus significantly faster under green illumination wavelengths than traditional red.
• Blue Light Mode: Optimized for artistic narrowband illumination and specialized creative contrast effects.
• UV (Ultraviolet) Mode: Reveals the biological magic of the ocean. Watch corals, anemones, and nudibranchs exhibit stunning biofluorescence.
• Manual RGB Settings: Take complete control over your backdrop by mixing your own custom hues directly inside the settings profile.
• Disco Mode: Triggers automated cycling smoothly across the entire RGB colour spectrum, providing captivating backgrounds for creative wide-angle reef captures.
