no way. the top light is aimed WAY too far off to the side. <BR> <BR>rookie movie. riders are gonna be pissed.

Yeah right, just don't take it free diving. Wonder what the point of the lights are?

dakid 01-06-2009 11:18 PM

low light situations. duh!

Lighting is 94.5% of getting the shot.

Isn't that a strobe built in on top of it? The LED's will not do any more than become focus lights. Even my 21 watt HID does not produce enough light. <BR> <BR>FWIW Unless solo diving it is against protocol to have lights on your head, even for cave divers. You will blind your buddy in the dark. Plus with a 5 meter depth rating no one is going to use it for more than surface stuff, hence my comment of not using it for free diving. Most people I free dive with work in the 8 meter range and deeper. They do claim to have a 35 meter one coming out soon though, but even that is still within non deco limits, on 32% none the less. <BR> <BR>Taken with a point and shoot that could be stowed in a pocket with my backup mask. I didn't even want to bring a camera into the cenotes but Susie insisted, so pocket cam it was. As you can see the tiny built in strobe over powered my HID. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/657480.jpg" alt="Upload">

Now just think about the guy chilling underwater during a nighttime shoot, looking up, and the rider passing over it. Damn the timing would need to be good, but I wonder how that would look... I mean it's not like you couldn't do it with a simpler setup, namely just a watertight strobe, but still...
