Hello,
I recently bought a sony a5100 with the meikon housing. Fortunately I managed to buy these unfortunately I don't have much budget left for decent lights/strobes.
My question is: Compared to no lights at all (except the build in flash) does it worth to try cheap video lights like these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MA6AF4J/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IYEAPK7URFHL&colid=2V0DE09Y5ACZD&psc=0
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LWOV...liid=I3PGVEOBFMFLI2&colid=2V0DE09Y5ACZD&psc=1
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FD3Q...liid=I1FIVD9CYOCEF1&colid=2V0DE09Y5ACZD&psc=1
paired with a basic tray.
I do have background in dry-land photography (I own and use a DSLR for years) but I don't have experience underwater to know how much such lights might help or not. Underwater I have used a gopro clone in some dives and I was not particularly satisfied.
I have a trip arranged to Raja Ampat in early March. Until then I will not have much chances to dive with my new rig (maybe 2 or 4 dives if I am lucky). Based on my lack of experience I don't plan to focus on photography during my trip. Mostly I want to enjoy diving and the place with few shots or videos here and there. Would such lights help at all??
Thanks in advance
