Hi all,
just recently bought an Ocean Images housing for my Sony TRV33 and I shot my first video. Not to bad, bu defenitely a problem with my light.
I used a Salvo 21 Watt HID that was not atached to the camera. Almost enough light, but the hotspot was way to bright. I saw online that I can buy a video reflector for a reasanable price for my Salvo.
I do have some questions...
I dive in Bristish Columbia, so visibility is often limited (very green).
- Would my 21 Watt Salvo with video reflector be sufficiant?
- What would be the best way to atach to the housing?
To have more light, what would be the most cost effective way?
- Buy another Salvo and use 2 x 21 Watt HID for lights. Would this be enough?
- Buy a 2 x 50 Watt Halogen system (but shorted battery life and possibly not enough light?)
- Buy a 2 x 100 Watt Halogen (even shorter battery life).
- Just wait and save a lot of mony and by a 2 x 50 Watt HID setup (would take me a year to save that money![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, anybody out there with experience in filming in the dark green waters of BC?
Thanks, Dirk
