Shoot All Day With Swappable Batteries

The Backscatter Octo 3500 uses two Xtar 18650 4000mAh protected lithium-ion batteries. These batteries include safety features like overcharge protection and allow for quick swaps between dives to support all-day shooting.

Travel with an extra set of batteries for each light to ensure fast replacements.

At maximum power, the light provides a 70-minute runtime, maintaining full 3500-lumen brightness for the first 50 minutes. After this period, the light enters safety mode and ramps down power for an additional 20 minutes. This feature ensures you always have light during critical moments or night dives.

Always carry a separate dive torch in dark conditions and avoid relying solely on video lights for general diving needs.

Individually Calibrated Temperature for Consistent Lights

Factory technicians individually calibrate each light to 5000K, ensuring any two units match perfectly when paired. This precision delivers consistent, saturated color reproduction across all your video clips.

Be Easily Seen with SOS Mode

Activate SOS Mode by holding the main button to emit a bright, continuous ping for emergency signaling or location marking. This mode runs for hours on a full charge, providing high visibility for extended periods.

Simple, Clear Battery Indicator Light

A simple LED indicator displays your power level using three colors. Green signals 100% to 50% power, yellow indicates less than 50%, and red warns of a low battery. This instant feedback ensures you never lose light unexpectedly.
