Hi,
Sorry, I was sure I added this comment a while ago. Guess better late than never, right?
A few clarifications:
When I say the light will be above the camera I mean just the location of the light. It is obvious the light should be as far away as possible from the camera. and same goes with the angle of the light. I know I should not light the water between and my subject to prevent the backscatter. The images I attached were just to make a point and each image was assembled from various cut outs from other images.
About the equipment, I totally agree that I should get a best quality I can afford. The reason for me to buy from Alixpress is the fact that I'm not sure about the configuration. Aliexpress will allow my to buy and replace items. When a final setup will be ready, I will buy a better equipment.
Since my last comment I tried to order the parts I need (and also had a few dives in the Red sea
). But, then I stumbled upon this problem:
As I want the framed arm (from the reasons mentioned in older comments) it forces me to get foam floats. I found only one place where I can get these - Stix. The problem is, that these are more expensive (mostly the shipping) and I'm still not sure how many and the size for the foam floats. I guess I'll have no choice but to go with the tube arm instead. But, these are bulkier and take a lot of space. Also, I will not be able to attach anything to it.
Do you know of other places I can get foam floats (or maybe some DIY ideas)?
Also, if any of you use/d a single light are rig, can you please share some images or describe how did you balanced it?
