Hello,
I have posted this thread but I think it was not the right place, in that area I see mostly nice videos and less technical comments:
Video lights power in low-vis
So, my question is - what is the really needed/required light output for poor visibility water (Black Sea). Think about North Atlantic/Baltic Sea/English Channel-like water. As you'll be able to see in that other thread, a buddy of mine which has 2x3600 lumen lights made a very nice movie with just an old Gopro hero 3.
I'd like to be able to film at that kind of quality. I am not really interested into artistic issues, correct color temperature, true color or other professional/advanced topics. I just want a clear video, with no high-ISO noise, while filming wrecks (inside and outside), in which you can see the objects/interesting things.
If you can give me an advice regarding required power (and maybe a hint of some European brand, which would be probably cheaper for me) it would be nice. I don't have a clear budget in my mind right now, but I'd like to spend as little as possible for that kind of image quality.
