I'm looking for a small "focus" light that I can mount in the strobe shoe (hot shoe) mount on my PT-022 underwater housing for my Olympus C-765 Zoom camera. I thought there certainly should be a light made to simply attach to the camera housing like a strobe. Where ever you point the camera is lighted. Sounds simple and logical right. Can't find one!

Flashlight with a ziptie. Serious, it works. I thought Underwater Kinetics used to make a pen light that had a shoe mount.

Downside of this approach is that it doesn't turn off when you hit the trigger.

Personally for night dives I've always stolen a HID video strobe and slapped it on.

That strikes me as the kind of thing that Fred at Underwater PhotoTech would have or put together for you. Drop him a line!!
