Hi there,
I've been using a Gopro 3 black underwater for a year or so, with red filters, etc., results are not bad at all, but quite dark when at depth/distance.
Now wondering whether I should add lights (next trip is Nusa Lembongan off Bali, hopefully for sharks, mantas etc). I have a tray with 2 handles, so could put on 2 lights. These things look quite pricey, would two times 500 lumen make enough of a difference or should I really go for a couple of 1200...? Are there good brands which do not cost an arm and a leg? Can it be useful to use filters as well as lights....?
Thanks for any advice.
Best,
Rene
