Backscatter Snoot System Review | Underwater Photography

In this video I review the Snoot System from Backscatter, the underwater photography and video suppliers. The system consists of the MF-1 flash unit
and the separate Optical Snoot unit that attaches to the MF-1. I provide my overall impressions and some tips on using it to create
different types of light control while shooting underwater. I am using the excellent Nauticam Z7ii housing for all the underwater images.
Hope you enjoy the images and photo tips. If you have any questions add them to the comment section and I’ll do my best to answer them.
