Thoughts on a single light for a GoPro setup?

[ScottsdaleSteve]

what happened to the V20 light you guys were selling last year?

I emailed Nitescuba and they put the V20 back up on Amazon for $60. I just ordered one.

My Nitescuba V20 video light arrived. I am pleasantly surprised - the build quality, fit and finish are excellent. I was skeptical when I ordered it, but it's crazy nice for a $60 light. It's going diving at the end of June so I'll try to report back here...

^ Would be interested as well. Which camera and tray are you using? And one light or 2? Thanks.

I use it on one of NiteScuba's trays with a single light. Works great for what it is.

I use this on pretty much every dive. I can change out to bigger lights when needed and adjust the light angle as I see fit.

Two pics with video light V20 and one with my primary, an S20. You can see the difference.

Wow...looks like the V20 has a wider spot (field of view), correct?

So dumb newb question. If the light (say V20) has a ball mount and the tray has handles with ball mounts, how does the light mount to the handle?

You'll need double ended, multi-point knob pinchers.

1" ball mount clamps

check Amazon and get aluminum ones. They make 2 and 3 ball clamps.

Thanks...I was hoping they were removable on one of the devices

Here's my set-up; I've only had it out once in a quarry with really bad viz, but it seems like a decent low-cost rig so far.
