View attachment 675I find 6k lumens covers metal mines very well .

I don't know a lot about mines in Italy tbh , If your exploring large slate caverns its very different to coffin levels !

having multiple people standing in various locations certainly helps.

I have never used anything other than a mobile phone .

That pic is neither slate nor metal though, Tom. OK, so it's an offshoot of a lead mine. Just down the road and 700ft or so beneath me. Great place the limestone quarry!

It’s a shame it’s monopolised by a small group of men

Just a quick thought - for me what you often need for easy photos is a simple tripod and several diffuse lights. I got an 'Amazon basics' tripod for 12 euros which weighs nothing - flimsy but fine with a small shutter delay. And DIY stores are the place to go for lights. Rechargeable decorators / builders lights, waterproof and tough, super cheap. Lidl (or as we say in Italy 50, 1, 500, 50) had some in recently for about 15 euros. Those and a reasonable phone camera make nice photos v easy

50 1 50 500

What about the others , who you “may” be able to get access from, using the super secret adit.

One year later, but maybe someone can profit from it. I traded most of my camera gear and went with a dedicated camera phone. Picked up a used Vivo X100 Pro on eBay and could not be happier (1 inch main camera sensor!). Only light source is my headlight. Less strain on my main phone's battery and super convenient.
