Hi, I've been trying to up my photography game and have an Olympus TG-6 and PT-059 Housing. I did recently buy those, but I need more things to up my game for my next dive trip. I want to buy a Backscatter M52 Air lens and I will need strobes and a tray for this set up. Buying a quality tray costs a good bit of money, but buying good strobes costs even more. As I try to piece together my set up slowly, I'll be shooting single strobe, but to be even cheaper (i'm a high school student athlete taking AP classes with no time to work) I was wondering if I could mount a strobe, to the cold shoe, and have two 8" arms with ball joint clamps to avoid backscatter.
Essentially I'm asking if I put a bunch of weight/ load on the cold shoe, will I break it and possible ruin my housing and camera because the set up is too heavy.
