Even the smallest strobe power is equivalent x10 to the average video light.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is when you want to shoot 80% photos and 20% videos, that makes your decision more difficult.\u00a0 You have to take a couple of things into account:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You can shoot stills with a video light but not the other way around.<\/li>\n<li>Carrying more than 2 lights is a bit cumbersome.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written a very good article on the consideration between video lights and strobes and I suggest to refer to that to make a decision:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/underwater-photography\/strobes-or-video-lights-a-head-to-head-comparison-for-the-underwater-photographer\">Strobes vs Video Lights<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>So in this article I will assume you know what you want, either two strobes or two video lights or one of each and I will talk about the different options.<\/p>\n<p>The lights changes all the time, I am writing this in January 2024 and it will probably remain relevant for a year or so.\u00a0 At the bottom of the article I will include links to our strobe and video light guide that update almost monthly.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the best strobe for the Olympus TG-7?<\/h2>\n<p>The TG-7 is a compact camera, I take size and weight into serious consideration when recommending lights for it. I always feel it does not make much sense to have a very small camera but a huge heavy rig around it.<\/p>\n<p>As such my top recommendation is the <strong>Inon S-220 or the Backscatter MF-3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of the Inon S-220<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>More powerful, has a guide number of 22 (vs 16 on the MF-2)<\/li>\n<li>Supports TTL with every camera (the MF-3 only with Olympus, RC TTL)<\/li>\n<li>Uses AA batteries &#8211; some people consider this a minus, I don&#8217;t.\u00a0 you can get AA&#8217;s everywhere and replace them all the time.<\/li>\n<li>Wider beam angle therefore better for wide angle shots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Advantages of the MF-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Has a dedicated snoot for great macro photos.<\/li>\n<li>Includes a built in focus light which is great for night dives and aiming.<\/li>\n<li>Supports RC TTL which means more accurate exposure with Olympus cameras.<\/li>\n<li>Much Longer battery life<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By looking at the above comparison you should be able to make the decision depending on which photos you shoot the most and what your plans are as far as cameras go.<\/p>\n<p>Now, both these strobes are not that powerful and you are certainly better off getting two such strobes. But what if you decided on one strobe and one video light?\u00a0 In that case I would recommend a more powerful strobe and here I am putting the Sea and Sea YS-D3 DUO.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do I think the YS-D3 duo is the best for the Olympus TG-7?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First is since RC TTL is supported with the strobe and that means more accurate exposure.<\/li>\n<li>It is very powerful, GN 33.<\/li>\n<li>It supports standard TTL as well and a sync cord connection so will work with any future setups you may have.<\/li>\n<li>It has a snoot option and dome option so great for both macro and wide.<\/li>\n<li>It includes an aiming light.<\/li>\n<li>Uses AA batteries which I love.<\/li>\n<li>Has a 100&#215;110 degree beam angle which is great for single strobe photography.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Bottom line, it is a beast and can do well on it&#8217;s own.<\/p>\n<p>This article gets frequently updated about all the strobe options in the market<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/guides-tutorials\/best-strobe-underwater-ultimate-strobe-guide\">Best Strobe for Underwater \u2013 The Ultimate Strobe Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>What is the best video light for the Olympus TG-7?<\/h2>\n<p>Now, if you choose to do videos or if you want to do both, you will need to get a video light.\u00a0 A video light is basically a continuous light but one with a wide beam angle that can light your entire frame.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is with video lights is that they produce much less light than a strobe and you need to get very powerful ones to get good results so that&#8217;s what I will recommend:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kraken 10,000 vs Big Blue CB7200PB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of the Kraken 10,000 Video Light<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It has a spot mode (great to use as a dive light)<\/li>\n<li>Super powerful &#8211; 10,000 lumens<\/li>\n<li>Comes with both a ball, YS mount and carrying case.<\/li>\n<li>Has a CRI of 90 which means the color of the light is nice and warm and more similar to Halogen than to LED&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Advantages of the Big Blue CB7200PB<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Extra wide 120 degree beam angle<\/li>\n<li>Build in red light (great for night dives) and UV light (which is very cool)<\/li>\n<li>Longer burn time of almost 2 hrs at max power<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Just like with strobes, if you are looking to use one light only, I would go for something even more powerful such as the Kraken 15,000 WRGBU<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did I choose the Kraken 15,000?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I think you need that amount of lumens with a single light.<\/li>\n<li>It has a 120 degree beam which again is important for a single light.<\/li>\n<li>It has a burst mode to double as a strobe of 18,000 lumens<\/li>\n<li>It supports Red\/ UV and blue lights so you get all in one.<\/li>\n<li>It has two color temperatures so you can choose between white and warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One other option to consider if you want to do both video and photos would be to get one of each.\u00a0 A single strobe or a single video light.\u00a0 \u00a0I said before it&#8217;s cumbersome but you can&#8217;t get it all and this gives you the best of both worlds. You can actually even get 2 of each by using triple clamps and splitting your arms but then you&#8217;re talking about a far more expensive setup.<\/p>\n<p>See an example below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-11.11.45-AM-768x537-1.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-Iyw93W60\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-11.11.45-AM-768x537-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-11.11.45-AM-768x537-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-26-at-11.11.45-AM-768x537-1-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are dozens of different video lights and they also change all the time but that is why we have this article:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/guides-tutorials\/the-ultimate-guide-to-underwater-video-lights\">The Ultimate Guide to Underwater Video Lights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about underwater strobes or underwater video lights, please sign up to our newsletter.\u00a0 We publish so much new content regularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please support us and shop at Mozaik.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re following my articles you know that I always put lights first before everything else.\u00a0 Since everyone is now using the Olympus TG-7, it would be a good idea to talk about which light should you get for that camera.
