Underwater housing Ikelite for Nikon D780
Description
Ikelite's D780 housing are designed from the ground up to provide full camera control and connection for external strobe lighting out of the box.
Camera
This powerful full-frame camera has a lot to love about it, with a 24 megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor and Expeed 6 processor. Thought about low-light shooting? The camera's expanded ISO range tops out at an incredible 204,800. The D780 takes UHD 4K video at 30p and 1080 full HD video at 120p.
There's an improved 51-point autofocus system when shooting through the viewfinder plus a hybrid system for much faster performance when shooting in live view mode using the camera's rear 3.2" LCD screen. A CIPA battery rating of 2200 shots per charge make it well suited for a full day of diving and more.
Lens Ports
This housing features our robust Dry Lock (DL) port system. "Dry Lock" refers to the placement of the o-ring on the outside of the port mount. This improves visibility and reduces the chances of water dropping onto your precious camera sensor. DL ports are the lightest on the market, yet robust and capable of standing up to rough surf.

Vacuum System
A vacuum valve is installed standard on the side of the housing. The vacuum valve is designed to be low profile to avoid interference with controls. The optional Vacuum Pump with Gauge # 47011 allows you to draw a vacuum on the housing to check for leaks prior to entering the water.
M16 Accessory Port
The spare M16 threaded accessory port provides an attachment point for third party accessories including HDMI bulkheads.
TTL Exposure
This housings supports your choice of shooting with manual strobe exposure or adding a TTL converter depending on your application. The flash bulkhead is located on the top of the case to keep cords out of your way and reduce strain on the cord end.
You can enjoy the fastest and most accurate TTL exposure on the market by adding the DL1 DS Link TTL Converter #IK46056 and a compatible Ikelite DS strobe. The DL1 supports rear curtain synchronization and exposure compensation can be added or subtracted in the camera.
Ikelite DS Strobe Compatibility
Any Ikelite DS strobe may be used in manual exposure modes by attaching one or two with a compatible electrical sync cord. Current model DS strobes may be used in TTL exposure mode by adding the optional DL1 DS Link TTL Converter and an electrical sync cord.
Non-Ikelite Strobe Compatibility
SEA&SEA, INON, and Retra strobes with an electrical connection can be triggered in manual exposure modes using an electrical sync cord. Strobes without an electrical sync cord connection cannot be attached to this system unless slaved off of a hard-wired strobe.
