What kind of strobe for a noobie?

[Hcklo]

Depends and you sometimes have to do the customs clearance, all depending on value. I've had to do the clearance for some shipments and not others .

The Z-330 is a nice strobe but compete overkill for the TG-6 , its bigger and heavier than the camera! of course if you plan to upgrade to a DSLR it would make sense but it's a little unbalanced compared to the size of the camera and would be at or close to minimum power a lot of the time. The tray you link would probably struggle with the Z-330. With INON strobes you also need to order a Z joint to mount to the YS mount on the end of the arms you linked. like this: INON Z Joint for INON Strobes some places in Oz want ridiculous price for this item though!

Thank you ! That's exactly what I was wondering. I think I will go for 1 x s2000. After reflection a lot of people tells me to go for balls and clamps and not for flexible arms. Do I still need a z joint to link the strobe to a ball ?

Thanks !!!

Would you reccomend a precise tray or arm system in the market ?

Yes there's two types of Z-joints one for YS, and the other has a ball on it. As far as arms and clamps go, they tend to be modular you'd need two arms, 3 clamps and a tray, probably a 6" arm and an 8" arm. Have a look here for an idea on pricing:

I'm looking at the same camera and my only experience is with gopro and paralenz. How about a light for shooting video?
would the Kraken Hydra 3500S+ do the job of both lighting for video as well as strobe for pics? Would only one do? Or with the s2000 and a separate light be better? If so, suggestions?
