| | | Cool vidoes. I've encountered the same problem while trying to film in drains, mines, and caves. Mostly I use a helmet mounted camera so I am at another disadvantage with such a small and wide angled lens. If you are worried about low light and how to maximize light in the video there are a few things you should consider. Firstly the most easy fix is as you alluded to; bring more light. Helmet lights, flashlights, lights taped to your camera, and lights that directly interface with your camera are all options. When I bought my first DSLR I was extremely surprised and amazed at how much fluctuation a human eye has when you can see fine in bright daylight as well as the light cast from a single led headlamp in pure darkness. Cameras, on the other hand, are not nearly so flexible and must compensate for change in conditions with technology or technique. Having a large lens lets in more light. Slower framerates/shutterspeed can allow longer time for the sensor to capture the available light. Specific sensors can be bought specifically for an amount/type of light. There are also a plethora of software techniques for getting the most out of your camera sensor. The easiest thing I can recommend is to add large soft flood light behind your camera. This will hopefully eliminate contrast issues while in moving video. With tunnels and whatnot, if you are setting up a specific shot, you can add focused light down the length of the tunnel to highlight darker areas. Lighting technique is super simple but VERY tedious and can take a LOT of spare lights and, of course, batteries to run them. I myself never had the patience for such technique, just too much prepwork for each location and cut. Also, if you intend to go down this rabbit hole, you may want to invest in ways to steady your shots. Even something as simple as a home made stabilization platform can make a world of difference. I hope this was at least a little bit helpful. I am sure some real photographers and videographers will chime in here soon.
