Hello everyone,
I have a GoPro Hero 7 Black which I dive with and take video (very amateur video). I currently use a red light filter from backscatter and no artificial light. However, I would like to buy a tray and some lights to enhance the color in the videos.
I keep reading that it is wise to "buy as many lumens as you can afford". For about the same price, I could buy two 2600 lumen lights or one 8000 lumen light. All lights have 120 degree angle. If we are just talking power output, it seems like I would be better off to buy the single, larger light. But, would I be better off having two, lower powered lights? Would this be better with backscatter, shadows, light positioning, covering the wide angle of the GoPro, etc? Or would I be better of with more power from a single light?
I am not looking for anything incredible or even remotely professional for results. Just looking to get a little better footage of the cool things I see on dives.
Thank you in advance for advice! The community here has been incredibly helpful!
