Hello,

at the time I am using a Canon G7X with a Canon WP-DC54 housing for underwater photography. I am looking for a lamp to add to the Canon housing and am wondering what you would recommend. Ideally I'd like to mount it on the shoe of the housing. Do I need an adapter and a lamp for this or do you know any all-in-one solutions?

The cold shoe mount keeps the light a bit close to the lens, though with a longer one and a 6" arm, can have reasonable set up positions.

I think you're better off going this route:

unfortunately, the canon housing doesn't allow for 67mm screw ons, like the ring light from kracken.
