Puerto Galera, muck dive at Montani, using a borrowed TG-7/housing (my TG-4 died shortly before my trip started), my own tray & YS-03 strobe. Minor edits (convert ORF to DNG, used a really legacy version of Adobe Lightroom to do cropping & some exposure adjustments).

Here's one from my TG-4/housing/YS03 in 2023 in Roatan. I was aiming for the Christmas Tree worms, and didn't see the goby photobombing me... ORF processed directly in legacy Adobe Lightroom (LR 6, circa 2017), cropped, minor exposure adjustments. I'm a big fan of the Olympus TG-4. As you can see the photo quality in the TG-4 is really excellent, but my TG-4 sadly died sometime between May 3 and May 10.

so stinking small! But then, that's what makes the TG so good. Just the user learning how to use it... And the light set up...
These nudis are measured in mm..

Take a pencil eraser and quarter it, and it would still be bigger than thus nudi

Rather large at under 1/2 inch

It depends on what you really want to do.
The tg-6 is amazing at macro videos. See this one I recorded using the backscatter mw-4300 video light

The above is less than perfect because I had to use video editing software to remove hand-shake but cropping the edges of the video. Thus rendering it with less resolution. Still not bad IMO.

I mentioned this before as well, I used the video light as my primary photograph light and was able to mostly take photographs between 1/100 and up to 1/160 most of the time - albeit usually between 200 and 400 ISO.

With the strobe, I am always at ISO 100 and shutter speeds between 1/120 and 1/600.

I now have a backscatter macro strobe mf-01 and the video light.

If you get a strobe only, you cannot record videos.
If you get a video light, you can do both but struggle with photographs. But the positive with video light and photographs is that you see exposure (shutter speed) in real time. But there will be a bit of a struggle.
That's an amazing video! What location? Are those skeleton shrimp?
