I am looking to purchase a Ikelite Canon Mark 5D IV Underwater housing. Up to this point have been using GoPro or Insta 360 but figured I had the camera so I would like to use it. I got a quote for ~$5200 for the housing, 2 lease ports, 2 strobes, ball arms, and some other cables and such. Being a beginner, I am trying to figure out what is necessary vs what can I buy later. I don't plan on diving deeper than ~100 ft initially. Specifically the strobes (for two of them) run ~$1000, not including all the arms and ball joints.
Just looking to get an opinion on it outside of the sales person.
