[@bradkaral1188]

Clearly-spoken, well-explained, well shot. Well done!

[@Big-GVideo]

Thank you so much

[@jaquesaulait]

Good review, but why not actually show the images side by side for comparison?

[@cappysdad383]

Thanks for the great video on these two accessories, by far the best explanation on KZbin

[@Big-GVideo]

Wow, thanks!

[@suespicer8575]

Thanks for that. are they both waterproof?

[@selcukkrmac2913]

I have tg 6 , I am a Dentist I use it for intraoral macro photos .Which accesory would you suggest for me fd 1 or lg1? Thanks

[@chetannaik4841]

LG1 is better than FD1 because it provides a continuous source of light. Checkout the sample video that I have posted.

[@stephenhookephotography8669]

Thanks for this.

[@Big-GVideo]

No problem and glad it was helpful!

Really helpful video, thank you!

[@Big-GVideo]

Thanks for your comment I really appreciate it

Very good vid with helpful explanations. Thanks. I'm curious what the flashlight icon was about when you were fiddling with the flash settings at 2:16. Is that for the LED? I'm also curious why you think they didn't make the led usable for the FD-1. Seems they would have made that a possibility since it's already covering the light. Thanks again!

[@bluebowser3121]

Thank you for teaching me how to turn the light on. Is there a way to turn off the auto turn off feature? It doesn't stay on long enough when I'm filming.

@@Big-GVideo Thank you for responding! Your understanding of this camera is so helpful!

Hi, do you know if this fits on the tg6 itself and also the underwater housing still fits with this attached?

[@adamtipper2463]

Thanks for the reply, I'm going diving in Thailand in February, and unsure how this flash works with the housing or what flash I should be getting. I know the strobes are the best but I'm way far off that right now.

[@adamtipper2463]

I'm going up to 35m unfortunately the housing is needed. 😑

[@suusb6946]

Don't think its for underwater use at all.

[@icesystem7]

So what the Olympus genius did is they broke apart the perfect camera that was the tg-860 into many features and sell it as tg-6 plus accessories. (Talking just from optical/ lightning perspective, I'm aware of the bigger pixels in the sensor, and upgraded firmware) Oh, and thanks for the video!

[@laurencegr9978]

Thank you.

Compliments for your kind and useful explanation!! I am an entomologist working with medium sized insects, which accessory do you suggest me with dead insects photographed in laboratory? I mainly work with museum material, so no worry about possible movements!

[@Big-GVideo]

Thanks for your comment. I found the LG-1 easier to use and while the FD-1 should have given out more light, in real life use there wasn't a huge amount of difference in the outputs.

Hi, thanks for your video. How FD1 lights behavior when I want to shoot a macro video?

[@7in1]

@@Big-GVideo , Does LG-1 work in video mode?

[@7in1]

@@Big-GVideo thanks, this information is of a value for me!

[@7in1]

FYI , my LG-1 works perfectly during video recording

[@Grimdarkus]

Which one would work best for 5 feet from the camera underwater?

[@addixz]

Can you more video about the FD-1?

[@web3twon]

Can't find the LG-1 anywhere!? I've been looking high and low new or used! I do super close up macro shots and sometimes get some camera shadow, I bet that would work perfect. Great video!

[@Big-GVideo]

Sorry to hear you can't find it anywhere. Thanks for your great comment

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, New Sub here thanks for sharing

[@Big-GVideo]

Thanks and welcome

[@MIKEDAPTO]

With lg1 on is the camera still waterproof

[@Big-GVideo]

Yes it is

[@kgc2624]

fd-1 is better. lg-1 is an ultra-close macro tool that allows you to take pictures very, very closely because the light on the left and right sides is balanced when taking static subjects. However, this is not a typical example, and in the case of outdoor and indoor activities, fd-1 with speed lighting is a better choice because it is photographed at a distance from a slightly moving subject. Speed lighting is better than LED lighting.

[@Big-GVideo]

Very true. Thank you for your comment

[@LamGorYun]

do i need these for marco ?

[@josephfrechette9916]

In most cases the answer is no.

[@bamsemh1]

You probably already quit your channel 😬 One of the are weather sealed, like the camera. Which of the models is it?

[@Big-GVideo]

I'm still here. Both are suitable to use in water/adverse weather as they don't have any key contact points and are both made of plastic

[@dayeah765caoni3]

my solution: get both at a good deal

[@Big-GVideo]

Great idea

[@gamingdelux0078]

you talk like in a Stephen King movie.....

I don't know what this means. Thank you for your comment
