Topics I've Started

Watershot Dual 700 lumen video lights

22 November 2012 - 11:10 AM

Watershot dual video lights.  700 lumen each.  External battery pack gives over 1 and 1/2 hours of burn on high.   Three light level settings so very useful as focus lights as well.  Modular so that a dive spot head can also be plugged in either for more video "reach" or for general diving.

Includes 2 700 lumen video heads.  One 700 lumen spot for general diving.  Dual-connect external battery.  Charger.  Coiled cords, and metal covers for all connections.

These lights show wear from use, but are bulletproof to 300' and working fine.  

I have priced these to sell at 400 for the entire package, and at 400 will include the YS to UCLS ball adapters shown in the photos and FREE SHIPPING in the U.S.

These are shown as mounted on my E-PL2 rig.  The battery is a nice counterbalance for the rig and adds stability.

One video light or two?

19 November 2012 - 02:53 PM

I am shooting a lot of video with my OM-D and want to invest in some high quality lighting.  My question is, shouild I use one or two lights?  I can get two Sola 4000s or Keldan 4Vs that total 8,000 lumens, for around $3200-3500 for both, or one FIX Fisheye that has 7000 lumens for $2000 (or one WASP Video that has 18,000!!! lumens $2500 does anyone know about this light??).

  While one light is easier to manage than two (and also much cheaper), is there an artistic/techincal reason to prefer two lights?  The new lights are so compact that two do not deter me if that is best.  I did try a video with two lights but got crossing shadows with them that were not so nice, but maybe I am not using them correctly?

I am new to video and shoot stills with dual strobes, but my housing/trays (Nauticam) can also take up to 2 video lights as well.

Thanks for any advice!

Some Help for Understanding Guide Numbers?

27 October 2012 - 12:01 PM

Would like to learn a little about the relationship between guide numbers.

How is the brightness difference measured between different guide numbers.  For example, how much brighter is GN24 than GN 20.   Same question between GN 20 and GN 32 or 34?  What about GN 40?  Is GN 40 twice as bright (one stop?) or even brighter than GN 20.  Let's assume, for now, the same angle of coverage to keep it simple.

Thanks for any help!
