    Default GO PRO Light Help

    Hi All,

    I'm looking for two cheap lights that can be used with a GOPRO, something helmut mountable would be good.

    I'm not looking for anything to make great video this is just for friends and family that are curious about the cave diving addiction.

    At Ed's shop I saw something small with a pushbutton and a removable reflector?

    Thank for the help.

    Jon

    I-torch has an interesting little light with a broad, flat beam angle of 45 deg. I have not had a chance to try it yet, but I was thinking of mounting two of these on a helmet, beams overlaping in the center to produce a combined 60 deg wide, 45 deg high beam. 210 lumen should be enough for the new Go-Pro?

    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    I've had two intova "tactical" lights on my helmet for months now, they are a flood type of light and work well with a Hero2 up to about 15 ft. or so, beyond that you need something with a lot more power than your going to get in any kind of small light. My 21W with a video reflector isn't enough either, the 50W does a lot better job, but even it could use some help, maybe dual 50's? At some point I think your better off with a much better low light camera that will give similar performance with smaller / cheaper lights, I hope that will be the new one?
    I need to try my full size camera, but have only used it in open water, guess I need to dust it off and buy a scooter mount and see if it's better.
    Frank at Edd's shop will let you play with all the lights
