Hello,
I have a Canon R5II that I have in an Ikelite housing with an 8 inch dome port. I’ve only been shooting natural light but want to add either strobes or video light. I’m a hybrid shooter so do both photos and video on the same dive (mostly video). I prefer bigger things than macro so shoot with the 15-35 lens. I am trying to keep my gear as light as possible.
I have a couple of options in mind for lighting but both have limits. I could go down the dual video light route and get lights that have a burst mode. If I do this route my question is what lumen lights would I need to cover me for video and photo?
I could also go down the strobe path but because I have the Ikelite housing I’m limited to using Ikelite strobes if I want TTL. They are quite expensive! I would also have to get a new hotshoe and TTL adapter. I could use manual flash for half the cost of the Ikelite strobes but then I’d have to fiddle around with strobes. My question here is does anyone have any other suggestions?
I’d appreciate any advice thanks.
