  1. Guys, i am thinking of getting a strobe and arm for my DC olympus 5060. But i am confused of wat kind and brand of strobe and arm should i get for my model of my DC. Can someone pls help mi. Thanks a millions.

  2. I would probably go with an Inon Z-240 if you have the bucks that an either UCLS or TLC arms. Both the strobe and arms will grow with any package you purchase later on down the road.

  3. Thanks bro. Is it a huge different by using only one strobe as compare to dual strobe?

  4. What housing are you going to be using? I shot with that camera for seveal years and loved it. Unfortunately it is currently oozing salt from a trip to Roatan earlier this year. I used the Olympus PT-020 housing with an Ikelite DS-50 strobe with a slave sensor to fire the strobe. Also did some great macro shots utilizing just the internal flash. Feel free to check my gallery with shots I took with that camera.

    There are some wide angle lens options available, although I never purchased them. Unless you do, I do not see the need to purchase dual strobes for that system. If I had to do anything differently I would have gone purchased a more powerful strobe (probably DS-125). If you grow out of that system, that strobe can easily move to whatever new system you purchase.

     

    Best wishes
