Extreme MacroGet incredibly sharp 3:1 (three times life-size) macro images with the
underwater removable MacroMate lens for underwater Video housings.
Sealed Achromatic Glass OpticsCustom achromatic lenses are sealed in a glass optical housing and provide extreme magnification with incredibly sharp edges. This unique design produces much tighter and sharper images than simple close-up lenses that are exposed to water. The air sealed chamber maximizes the optical properties of the close-up lens without distortion or soft edges.
Flip-up DesignThe Flip-Up MacroMate is design to mount on the port and allows the photographer to quickly flip the lens up and out of the way.

Installing your Flip-Up MacroMateMost MacroMate flip-up designs allow you position the hinge in any position. While most new users install the hinge on top (12:00 position), we prefer to install the hinge at the 10:30 position. In this position, the lens will flip toward the shutter release and thus keep the weight of the lens closer to your shooting hand when not in use. Once you use the MacroMate you'll likely never make a dive without it. However, if you know you're not going to use it, simply unscrew the hinge bolt for a quick release without the need for tools. NOTE: The Titan design is fixed in the 12:00 position due to the angled design of the port. Custom options are available.
