Hi all, I’m looking for good advice to get a dive light to mount onto my point and shoot.
Will be using it for shooting pictures on dives and some videos.
Looking for something like the XTAR D26 just with a wide angle (pref. 90-120degrees).
Having a hard time finding a light to fit the category. looking to stay under 120$.
LOOKING FOR:
1) WIDE angle (90-120 degrees)
2) Minimal to no hotspots
3) Bright lumens (1000lmn-8000lmn) *the bigger the better for Video
4) reliable down to 45M dives
5) Mountable (I have a cold shoe mount on top of my point and shoot marine case *for my TS5 Lumix) – I found a cold shoe universal flex arm that can hold up to 31mm diameter body
Ebay has this thing: ([MCOPLUS] LE-160Y 2000LM Diving LED Light 40m ) no good information, but I can imagine that it wont have much of a hotspot problem, but might reflect a lot of particles in the water in my opinion.
Any thoughts on what to look for?
I don’t know much, but have been learning a LOT over last 2 weeks.
Underwater flash light seem interesting for photos underwater but I doubt they work well with video, and I want a simple setup so I decided to go for a video dedicated light since it can eluminate enough for photos and shoot decent videos.
