Underwater housing Ikelite for Sony a9, a7R III (DL)

Underwater housing Ikelite for Sony a9, a7R III (DL)

A full featured and durable waterproof housing for Sony Alpha A7 III, A7R III, and A9 Mirrorless cameras. Suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and any application in or around the water.

Only housings produced June 2023 and later (beginning with serial number 78668) feature an M16 accessory port. Housings prior to this date feature a 1/2-20 accessory port. A modification is available for older housings to convert the 1/2-20 port to M16 for use with the USB-C Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead.

Only Sony a7 III and a7R III cameras feature a USB-C port. The Sony a9 camera does not feature a USB-C port and is not compatible with the USB-C Bulkhead.

LENS PORT REQUIRED (Sold Separately)

A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation (sold separately).
Choose the correct port components on the lens you will be shooting.
The port sizes are DL, DLM or the old FL.

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

No other manufacturer makes professional functionality so accessible.

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.
