Hi everyone,
I'm going to upgrade my GoPro Hero rig with some lighting. Until now I have used FlipFilters system but without light I have no way of shooting video in low-light situations, like under ledges, in caves or when deeper than filters can compensate for.
I'm considering adding one powerful (4000 lu) wide angle light to my rig, rather than two lights. This is for two reasons:
1 - I only dive around 10 times a year, and therefore dropping large amounts of money into my GoPro rig doesn't make much sense.
2 - I'd like to keep the rig relatively small so I can get it into hard-to-reach places.
So, what sort of compromises am I going to run into when running one video light as opposed to two?
Thanks in advance.
