I posted this on the Olympus forum, but figured I'd seek some guidance here, too. I bought an Olympus XZ-1 camera, Olympus PT-050 housing, and the Olympus UFL-1 strobe a few months ago - my first foray into underwater photography. And I've loved the setup! (Recent photos are here, and critiques are very welcome.) But the UFL-1, as I knew, is very low-powered, and seems to be good only within three feet of the subject. So I want to step up, perhaps before my trip to Cozumel at the end of July (my first trip there).
So I'd love some advice from you all:
1. What's a good strobe to step up to that can easily plug-'n'-play with my rig?
2. Will I be able to set it up in tandem with the UFL-1, or do the lights need to be the same, to be balanced on the left and right?
3. If I can set up two strobes to fire simultaneously, where can I find instructions for setting them up and using them?
4. Do I need to replace the bracket, or can I simply add on to it to accommodate a second strobe?
And anything else I need to know? As should be obvious, I'm still a newbie. Thanks in advance for your help, folks.
