Still no Narrow beam for DiveStar. Pressures of the day to day work and life push the dates for launch of the new design further and further away. Help, send me an order to kick me up into gear.....

Several people asked me how can they mount DiveStar to take movies as there was nothing about video mounting options.

I made a standard mounting bracket (included in every DiveStar shipped) that you can join the Light to the Camera.... I'm using old Olympus with underwater housing PT033. (photo below #2).

There are two white adapters for mounting in the black ring, these are changeable by unscrewing two screws visible just above the purple bracket.

You can of course use other standard mounting options to mount DiveStar. Mount on the standard 1/4 inch screw or FlexArm (photo below #1) on the standard mounting bracket. If there is are any arms that you would want me to fabricate just send me a message.

What your mounting needs are?

Also some anodizing color options on photo #3.

Have fun

It's all about 10,000 lumen Diving Torch, 1h 20min burn time at full power or over 4 days 24/7 at 150 lumen. 4 power levels and Smart Li-Po Battery Management.

Working on my next step with the torch. What new feature would people like me to develop.
I had 1 request, to separate the head with LED's from the battery and use the clip/strap on the battery to mount it on the belt or tanks. Then the head would be 75mm in diameter and 50mm long.
Need some feed back please.

There are a few claims about the Lumen output and Torch Burn times mostly by ebay sellers that I have investigated as a comparison for my torch DiveStar at http://divestar.com.au

Well, I'm almost ready to post the DiveStar campaign on indiegogo.com
I thought about Kickstarter.com as it came to Australia but decided that Indiegogo.com allow collection of funds for their "Flexible Funding" model. and in my case I hope to be funded to pay at least for the Constant Current Driver if not more. Fully funded project would be nice.

Have an order of thousand units would be even better.

Here is a youtube.com video
