Shortly Amphibico will have their new 35-50 HID video lights for sale. These new lights will have Lithium Polymer batteries integrated into the light housing chamber. This will completely eliminate the underslung battery pack.

The batteries are field changeable, so like most pros, bring a set of spares. The spares will be in the $395 range for each battery.

Run times will exceed the existing SWIT Lithium-ion batteries.

The new lights will not infrared sync to the on-off grip buttons. Weight is a little less once you eliminate the underslung battery pack. Underwater, the displacement is slightly less, so they have non-compressing foam wraps around the bodies to bring the lights into neutral buoyancy specs.
