Milkman 1 Posted December 1, 2019 Coming from a good gopro setup, Hero 7, Inon ULC-G165 SD wide close up lens, pair of Fenix Sd11 video torches on a ultalite tray and arms that is quite good for video and screen capture but want better macro. Just setting up a Olympus TG5, Seafrogs housing and Backscatter M52 wide air lens. Mounted gopro on the cold shoe and using same setup plus a DIY Snoot, but would like to add a small but adequate strobe to the system. Would like to keep as compact and as light as possible. Any recommendations are appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bremner 1 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) I imagine a Sea & Sea YS-01 would be a good start. I have one on my EM5-II that I use for "macro" (not really macro, but shooting from 25-35 cm) a fair amount. The TTL seems work pretty well, very few over/under-exposed closeups. I would suggest you have two sections of arm (or a long flexi-arm) to position the strobe. I don't have any personal experience, but the new backscatter "ministrobe" claims to be targeted right at your use case.

sunnyboy010101 12 Posted December 2, 2019 I need my TG-6 system to be as compact as possible for scootering (less drag). I bought the Inon S2000 and am totally thrilled with it. I use a single 8" light aluminum arm and just fold the strobe under it to make a very compact system. For video light I just use a BigBlue 2600 spot/video light. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyp 72 Posted December 2, 2019 I would take a look at the new Backscatter Ministrobe. It also has a paired snoot for your macro work. All the marketing material features a TG5/6 so it seems to have been pretty much designed with that camera in mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
