I’m considering getting a Ikelite tray with two light mounts. One spot light and one flash light Kraken 1000. What you guys think ?

Just get the Backscatter MF-2.

I would pass on the name brand tray and arms, go with the Amazon specials they are treating me fine so far. What you do about lights will depend on what you want to do photography and video wise. One good video light can provide enough light for both macro video and macro stills and fill light for video. A nice wide angle strobe will cover macro and 3-4 foot stills but no video. I currently have an Inon D200 strobe, and a backscatter Marco wide 4300, I've discovered I don't enjoy editing video, but the video light is a beast it also has a red light that works really good as a focus light on low power, and adds a little warmth when the flash goes off. I am considering taking only it on the cold shoe next time I go diving to see what all it can do, portrait and macro wise.

Will at the shop said the frame has crumbled and needs to be replaced before they put new boards. They are waiting for permits to proceed
