Backscatter FLIP12 One Filter Kit with Dive Filter for GoPro

The Backscatter FLIP12 One Filter Kit with DIVE Filter for GoPro from Flip Filters is supplied with one red coloured underwater correction filter to help produce more natural-looking images when shooting on blue water dives between 6 and 15 metres (20 to 50 feet). The handy flip system allows for easy switching between having no filter, and having the best colour correction for the narrow white balancing band of the GoPro range at these depths.

Our best all-around filter. Backscatter has made thousands of dives to determine the best filter formulas for all diving depths. This 1 Filter Kit includes the DIVE filter, the best all-around filter for typical dive profiles. FLIP8/9/10 is designed to survive the drops and abuse that we regularly give our own gear. With aircraft-grade aluminium and virtually unbreakable filter optics, we're confident you'll find that the FLIP system delivers the most rugged design along with the world's best colour for GoPro.

The all-new FLIP— A complete filter and lens system for GoPro HERO5, HERO6, HERO7, HERO8, HERO9 and HERO10 Cameras. Compatible with GoPro HERO 5, HERO 6, HERO 7, HERO 8, HERO 9, HERO 10, HERO 11 and HERO 12 Cameras in the Super Suit or Protector Housings

The DIVE BLUEWATER filter is the best all-around colour correction filter for typical scuba diving. The DIVE filter is optimised for use between 6 and 15 metres (20 to 50 feet) but is better than no filter above and below these depths. SHALLOW and DEEP filters offer even better colour at depths outside this range.

Multiple filters for perfect colour!

As hardcore GoPro users, Backscatter discovered that capturing the best underwater colour requires the use of multiple filters. After hundreds of hours of testing, Backscatter perfected a multi-filter system and integrated it into their world-renowned FLIP design. The all-new Backscatter FLIP8/9/10 gives you multiple filters at the flip of one finger. Optimal colour has never been so easy! Watch the sample video to see the multi-filter system in action.

Snap lock a lens or filter with just one finger

The hinged design of the Backscatter FLIP8/9/10 offers the ultimate solution for above and below water shooting. Other designs use internal gel filters that require you to break the factory sealed lens and can't be removed from above water shooting. Other press-on filters can be removed, but are easily lost or damaged and frequently require multiple hands to install. Filters on the FLIP8/9/10 can be flipped out of the way with just one finger and lock into on/off positions with a positive snap.

New Flip Filter Ergonomic Tab Design

The new FLIP8/9 has a larger frame due to the larger lens port on the GoPro Hero 8/9/10 housing. To make it easier to open with this larger design, we added an ergonomic tab to the filter. This new filter with the tab is backwards compatible with all previous FLIP systems back to FLIP3.1. Older filters can be used with FLIP8/9/10, but the lack of a tab makes it not as easy to use. The 55mm threaded filter holder remains unchanged.

Why is the FLIP8/9/10 colour formula the best? Countless hours of in-water testing!

The Backscatter test team has spent years testing exciting new filter formulas in a variety of real-world conditions around the globe. While it's possible for a manufacturer to select a filter formula by the numbers or a few test dives in one location, we know only an elaborate battery of controlled tests will produce the ultimate GoPro filter. Here's why...

"Bluewater" is a moving target
Bluewater comes in many flavours around the world. From the gin-clear waters of the Bahamas to the blue-green waters of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, each region has its own signature colour. Add the effects of weather, tides, shallow depths, and deep depths to these regional variations and you end up with a very broad definition of "blue water". The Backscatter test team has shot countless hours of footage in all conditions around the globe to redefine the ultimate universal blue water filter formulas.

Not all GoPro cameras are created equal
Backscatter discovered early on that individual GoPro cameras can have a different colour bias underwater. One camera might shift yellow and another camera might shift green. The Backscatter test team has gone to extraordinary lengths to evaluate multiple copies of both the HERO5, HERO6, HERO7, HERO8, HERO9 and HERO10 cameras in every situation with their new prototype designs. Backscatter is confident their tweaked and re-tweaked formulas will not only best match "typical blue water conditions" but also harmonise with the variations in GoPro cameras.

The result - the Best GoPro filters available
Backscatter didn't go over their R&D budget and timeline just to make the best filters for their customers. The team at Backscatter demanded the best filters for their personal shooting as well. We're confident that you'll agree that the new FLIP8/9/10, SHALLOW and DIVE filters are well worth the wait. Most importantly, you'll get the best colour out of your GoPro investment regardless of the blue water you find on your next dive.

Optical Grade Scratch Resistant Material
The FLIP8/9/10 filter material is resistant to scratches. It is similar to the optical acrylic used in eyeglasses. Most filter damage occurs during travel to and from the dive site. You'll discover that most accidental scratches will not show up in your videos. Acrylic polish such as Novus can be used to buff out any unsightly scratches.
