You can capture sharp, detailed photos and video at depths as great as 200' beneath the surface, thanks to IKELITE UNDERWATER HOUSING 200DLM/B FOR OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1 III. An Ikelite 5-pin sync bulkhead and integrated TTL circuitry enable the connection of optional, external strobes. Ikelite DS flash units can be used in TTL or manual exposure mode, while third-party strobes will work in manual mode.

Construction Details

• Made by hand in the USA from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend
• White/light gray on front, top, sides, and bottom to reflect sunlight and keep the camera cool when shooting on or above the water's surface
• Clear in back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain a view of the camera's rear controls
• Housing alone has slightly negative buoyancy in freshwater; overall buoyancy varies depending on the choice of lens and port
• Rear seal design prevents accidental twisting or stretching of the O-ring and eliminates the need for a groove that can trap sand, dirt, and debris, thus enabling easier maintenance
