Q: 1. Can the light ring be used INSIDE of the PT059 underwater housing? I will be diving deeper than 50'

A: No. It won’t fit. And the housing blocks it. The light is very dim anyway so I would say that this gadget is only useful for land closeups at night. It will be expensive but you will want to get a strobe or at least video dive light (120 degree beam). It will make a huge difference with it for color. Check out backscatter for a review of this camera.

Q: 2. is this compatible with Olympus CSCH-127 Silicone Jacket for Tough TG-6 Digital Camera?

A: NO they cannot be used at the same time

Q: 3. Does this require an adapter, or does it mount as is?

A: No, it does not use rings. It is specifically designed to work with the Olympus TG-1 TG-2 AND TG-3

Q: 4. does this work on TG4 underwater as well with its housing?

A: In a word, no. While I doubt it fits in the housing, if you are shallow diving without the housing then this advice from the Olympus website: Although the LG-1 can be left on the camera when underwater, it is not recommended as an underwater lighting accessory as the results would not be desirable. In my experience the LED system works pretty well in the dry world for bugs & flowers but not so much for shiny things. And the real bottom line and why I think Olympus advises against using it underwater is just a lack of power. They have recently introduced the FD-1 for the flash part and they actually recommend it for underwater macro work.

Q: 5. How does this differ from the flash diffuser FD-1? Which is more useful?

A: They are similar in that they both redirect the camera flash - the LG-1 is advertised as safe for use underwater, the FD-1 is not.

Q: 6. Does this tripod pass the "twist test" meaning when the legs are extended and you grab and twist the base where they attach, do the legs flex?

A: Unfortunately, I have not seen a test as you indicate above for the GEEKOTO CT25Pro Craftsman 79" Carbon Fiber Tripod. As such, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly either by e-mailing them at support@geekoto.com or by calling them at (323) 289-2474.

Q: 7. Can this tripod hold a camera with 150-600 mm lens?

A: Yes, the Geekoto CT25Pro Craftsman 79" Carbon Fiber Tripod is more than capable of handling any manufacturer's 150-600mm lens.

Q: 8. What is the maximum working height with the center columns retracted?

A: The max height is 57" with the column retracted.

Q: 9. How is the tripod for portraiture vs landscape? The ball head seems geared for panoramic.

A: This is a standard tripod that will work equally well for portraits or landscape.

Q: 10. Can a handle be added to this?

A: A handle cannot be added to the GEEKOTO CT25Pro Craftsman 79" Carbon Fiber Tripod.
