The average assembly technician is a certified scuba diver and has over 16 years of experience building Ikelite products. Our housings are built by hand and individually tested for fit, function and waterproof integrity. We use locally sourced, top-grade materials. Like every Ikelite product, our housings are designed, built, and tested in the USA. Polycarbonate is fundamentally corrosion-resistant for easy maintenance year after year.

Our signature clear construction lets you see that the housing is watertight and dry before you enter the water, and provides full view of the camera while you're diving. We believe there's no substitute for inspecting the actual o-ring seal once your housing is closed. Special polycarbonate blends allow us to create an extremely strong yet clear and lightweight enclosure. A vacuum system allows you to pressurize the housing to check for leaks prior to entering the water. The housing features a 1/4-20 threaded top mount for the attachment of optional accessories like a GoPro camera or focus light. The top mount can be easily replaced with an optional vacuum valve. An aluminum 1/4-20 threaded top mount provides an additional attachment point for lightweight accessories.

Nikon d800 manual#
Access plus/minus exposure compensation in TTL mode, plus manual power settings in half-stop increments. Controls on the back of the housing acts as a remote control for compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes. Tweak your TTL exposure or take total manual control without taking your hand off of your housing. Exposure AdjustmentĮxposure adjustments directly through the back of the housing put the perfect shot within reach every time. This eliminates the slave TTL strobe issues of signal interference, inconsistent exposure due to weak fiber optic transmission and false triggering caused by light rays bouncing off the water's surface or your buddy's flash going off. Ikelite electronics translate direct electrical impulses from your camera, triggering your strobe and precisely adjusting its power without the need to fire the camera's flash. This creates a shutter lag as you wait for the camera's flash to recycle in between shots, drains your camera's battery life, and builds up heat inside of the housing. Our built-in proprietary circuitry tells your camera that a TTL external flash is attached, allowing the camera to adjust exposure more accurately than with slave TTL strobes.įiber optic slave flash units require the camera's flash to fire every time. TTL or "Through-The-Lens" flash metering means the camera controls flash duration to properly expose an image. An Ikelite TTL housing improves your photos. Other housings simply waterproof your camera.
