Non-Ikelite strobes are compatible in manual mode. Mechanical controls afford access to all important camera functions.
Construction Details
- Depth rating: 200'
- Made from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate, which is clear to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain a full view of the camera
- Designed, made by hand, and tested in the USA
- Made as compact as possible to minimize bulk, strain, and drag in the water
Strobe Connection and Operation
- Built-in, proprietary circuitry, and an Ikelite bulkhead strobe connector enable TTL exposure with optional, external Ikelite DS Substrobes attached via sync cord
- Non-Ikelite strobes are compatible in manual mode
- In order to keep housing as compact as possible, attachment of on-camera flash is not possible--but sync cord connection makes use of camera's flash unnecessary
- By not requiring the camera's flash to fire, sync connection eliminates shutter lag caused by the camera's flash recycling and conserves battery life
- Heat build-up inside the housing is reduced, as well, since the camera's flash remains inactive
- Sync cord method also eliminates problems of signal interference, inconsistent exposure/weak transmission, and false triggering by other light sources
- Sync cords available for most popular strobes from Ikelite, Sea & Sea, Inon, and Nikonos
Strobe Compatibility
- Ikelite DS series substrobes: DS50 (above serial number 70000), DS51, DS125 (above serial number 5000), DS160, DS161, DS200 (above serial number 7163)
- Third-party strobes in manual mode only

- Controls are placed right at your fingertips
- Symbols are laser-engraved into the back of housing so as not to peel off or fade, even through years of use
- The camera's large, bright LCD monitor is viewable edge-to-edge through the back of the housing
