Lucky enough to be going to Socorro in mid-June and looking for advice/insights re my video setup. I'm shooting an RX100VA, with 2 YS-D2 strobes. I also have a GoPro 10 attached on top of the camera, and an original Kraken 5000 light attached at midpoint of float arm. Here's a pic of my rig:
Assuming one can use lights on these dives--can someone confirm this?--I'm thinking given the nature of the subjects and distance (large pelagics etc.), I need another video light. I also think it would be better to put the video lights out with the strobes, but I'm concerned that that will make the ends too heavy to be manageable; I'll likely give it a try anyway. Finally, if I get a second Kraken, as it seems I should, I may break down and get the Kraken remote, as manipulating two sets of the buttons seems like it would be a real PITA. Any thoughts on where I could mount that?
Thanks much.
