Hi I have been looking around for an UW video setup and i am in a bit of a conundrum.

I  can go ahead and buy a cheap used system HI8 for $500-$700 (without  lights & WA lens) using Top Dawg 1 to see if I like it but with  this set-up since I will be doing mostly fresh water & deepish  (150'); I can already see issues with lighting and WB. Filters wont  work due to lack of light. If I decided to go ahead with this it would  be for mostly playing around in the shallows with a fresh water filter  to see if I like UW Video.

Another option is getting a used  L&M Bluefin HC7 housing with the Sony HC7/compact external monitor  with twin 50W HIDs as lighting. This has the standard port not the WA  lens. I can pick this up for just over $4K. I can see this as a system  i could use for a long time.

What have most people done when 1st getting into video?
