Deluxe Features

The first-of-its-kind USB-C Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead allows you to offload photos and top off the battery without removing your camera and lens from the housing.

The included Vacuum Pump with Gauge allows you to check for leaks prior to entering the water.

A tray with dual handles and extended trigger levers for shutter and back-button focus provides a more ergonomic experience and better handling both above and below water. The dual quick release handles provide two mounting points for optional lighting accessories and/or action camera mounts.

When traveling to some of the most remote places on Earth it's a good idea to bring a set of spare o-rings. This kit includes a set of o-rings for the housing's rear seal and the DL port mount / extensions.

Take full control of your Sony mirrorless camera
in a lightweight underwater housing

No other manufacturer makes professional functionality so accessible. Our housings are designed from the ground up to provide full camera control and connection for external strobe lighting out of the box. Advanced features including TTL lighting exposure and enhanced magnifying viewfinders are available as needed.

Our DL-series lens ports are optimized to be the lightest on the market with superb image quality. The materials chosen for our housings and lens ports are chosen to maximize durability and corrosion resistance while minimizing travel weight and cost.

Pre-dive checks

There is no greater assurance than being able to see your camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing. Our signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Once the housing is closed you can see the o-ring form a solid, waterproof seal.

We recommend using a pump with gauge to pull a vacuum on the housing and check for leaks prior to entering the water.

Construction

Our specially formulated ABS-PC blend housing is highly durable yet significantly lighter than aluminum. The light color keeps your camera cooler when shooting in warm, sunny environments.

Lens support

Ikelite lens ports are the lightest on the market, yet robust and capable of standing up to rough surf.
We support a wide variety of lenses. Most popular zoom lenses and select focus rings can be engaged using simple gearing that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using.

Lens ports and zoom gears sold separately. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility information.

Wi-Fi transfer

Use the camera's built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The Wi-Fi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.

Compatibility

Unless otherwise noted, this housing does not accommodate the use of add-on grips, battery grips, eyepieces, LCD covers, or other accessories.
Differences in lens and control placement prevent other camera models from being used in or adapted to this housing. We are not aware of any other models which may be used in or adapted to this housing.
