Hey folks, I'm Chris from Michigan. Been lurking here for a while and thought I would jump in.
I'm an old Nikonos V photographer who's been out of the hobby for a while, just getting back in. So far I have a Sony A6500, a lens, a couple strobes and some fiber optic cables. Next up the most exciting part of the rig - arms and clamps !! Couple questions - any big advantage in having 2 arms per side or can I get away with one per for now? Also, I keep seeing lanyards on various sites and am not quite sure what they are used for. Do they keep the rig intact if a clamp comes loose and that way you won't have an expensive strobe sink into the depths? Or something else?
Really looking forward to getting some modern gear into the drink ....
