Marelux Double Flip Holder: The Ultimate Solution for Underwater Macro Photography
Why the Double Flip Holder is Essential
A double flip holder is a vital tool for underwater macro photographers. It mounts two different wet lenses simultaneously (such as +5, +10, or +15 diopters, or the newly introduced MV60 wide-angle conversion lens). This setup gives you the ultimate versatility to switch between magnification levels instantly, or flip both lenses completely away to shoot through your native flat port with zero restrictions.
The Flaws in Traditional Flip Holders
Standard double flip holders currently on the market suffer from two major design flaws:
Corrosion and Jamming: Most brands utilize standard land-based mechanical designs featuring exposed internal springs and ball bearings. When exposed to harsh saltwater, these components inevitably corrode. Over time, the mechanism jams, requires constant lubricant sprays, and eventually fails completely.
Lighting and Equipment Interference: Most holders offer only one standby position. If the lens rests at a strict 90-degree angle to the port, it blocks your strobes, which need to be tightly positioned near the macro port. If the lens flips beyond 90 degrees, larger and longer wet lenses can collide with your expensive camera housing or port, causing physical damage.
The Patented Marelux Innovation
Marelux is proud to introduce a patented design that permanently eliminates these industry-wide pain points:
O-Ring Sealed Lubrication Chamber: The rotating mechanism is housed in a fully sealed chamber, secured by precision O-rings and packed with liquid lubricant. Because saltwater cannot penetrate this boundary, the internal springs, bearings, and contact surfaces never corrode. It will never jam.
Two Instant Standby Positions: Switch between three secure holding angles in a split second. Use the active shooting position over the port, a 120-degree standby position for small, short wet lenses, to completely clear your strobe light paths, or an 90-degree standby position for larger, longer lenses, to safeguard your housing body
Universal Compatibility
The Marelux Double Flip Holder is designed for maximum versatility across the industry. It is natively compatible with most major housing brands featuring a standard M67 (67mm) threaded port. To adapt it to non-Marelux housings, simply remove the two anti-rotation positioning screws used for Marelux macro ports, and thread it directly into place.
