Building your underwater camera system
Ports [dome and flat]
Underwater housings for Mirrorless, DSLR and video cameras need a "port". Choose a port that work well with the lens you intend to use. On the other hand compact camera, phone and GoPro housings already have ports and are ready to go.
Strobes
Most still underwater photographers use one or two strobes to be able to capture true colours and enhance sharpness in the images. Strobes are important tools in underwater photography and connect to your housing with cables.
Lights [Focus / Photography / Videography]
Still photographers use constant light to help the camera to find focus. Videographers use wide lights to boost the colour quality of their footage. Light angle, burn time, colour temperature, size are some of the important features.
Arms & Trays
To hold your underwater strobe or light in place you need arms and clamps. One arm usually consist of two arm segments, length of your choise, and three clamps. Complete two arm system = 4 arm segments and 6 clamps.

Triggers & TTL Converters
The best way to fire strobes is to use a trigger or a TTL converter which sparks the external strobe to fire. It is direct, fast (no recharging of internal strobe) and this helps you when there is action around and fast shooting. TTL converters also make it possible to shoot in automatic power mode for your UW strobes and you can concentrate on creativity and having fun.
