Easily held and operated with one hand, the Mera Light + Camera from Tovatec combines a 1000-lumen, spot/flood dive light with a camera that captures 1080p video and takes 4MP still photos. Its built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers 90 minutes of video recording with the light on, with higher runtimes at lower power. And unlike a bulky underwater camera housing with light arms, the flashlight-style Mera can slip into a pocket on your BCD when not in use.

The aluminum housing features a knurled handle for a secure grip. Functions are controlled via a three-button interface on the handle, with one button to control the light, one to snap a JPEG photo, and one to start and stop recording video. Images and video are saved to a Class 10 or higher microSD card up to 64GB. The light shines in spot (12° beam angle) or flood/video (120°) mode at 500 lumens on low and 1000 lumens on high. The Mera measures 7.6 x 2.5" and weighs 17.7 ounces.

Q: 5. The rated CRI is quite low for a video light and would likely not render colors accurately. Any chance this is a misprint -- it seems quite low at well below 80 cri?

A: You are correct, the CRI is a bit low. This isn't meant to be a primary, production-grade instrument, but a quick and inexpensive item to throw into your travel bag, or the glove box in your car. You won't win any awards for excessively creative or inspiring lighting (probably), but you'll be able to shoot in the dark if you weren't quite prepared if you keep this handy.

Q: 10. Does the light swivel at all? Could it be used for bounce lighting?

A: No it has a shoe mount only. Even if you had a ball adapter mount it wouldn't swivel upward because of its length. The beam is narrow it's much better as an accent light than primary.
