Underwater housing Ikelite for Sony RX100 V, IV, III

This compact and lightweight housing provide full operation of the camera up to depths of 60m. Large, easy-to-reach controls are provided for all camera functions including the front and rear dials.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Mark Va differs from the IV & III slightly in camera thickness. The newer Mark Va camera can be used in the previous housing version made for the Mark IV & III. All controls are operable in this installation.

This newer housing features improved ergonomics like a front-loading camera system and improved rear dial control, ergonomic side-mounted shutter lever, spare 1/2-20 accessory port for optional vacuum valve.

A new slide-in, front loading camera mounting tray makes this housing a breeze to set up and shoot.
Use the camera's built-in WiFi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The WiFi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.

Due to the position of the camera's flash in relation to its lens, the built-in flash is not suitable to illuminate photos under water. For the best color and clarity, we recommend adding a filter, strobe, or constant-on light. The built-in flash may be used to trigger external strobes via fiber optic sync cord. Two ports are provided for the connection of up to two fiber optic cords.

Wide angle & Macro

Our 3-inch diameter ports feature a 67mm thread on the front for the easy attachment of external wide angle and macro wet lenses. Wide angle lenses make objects appear smaller, so that you can fit more into your frame underwater. Macro close-up lenses make small objects appear larger, so that tiny creatures will fill your frame.

The WD-3 Wide Angle Dome provides mid-range angle of view with no vignetting (dark shadows in the corners of the image). The W-30 Wide Angle Lens, INON UWL-H100, and other 67mm threaded wide angle lenses, provide a wider maximum angle of view. Because these are separated from the camera's lens by glass, air, and water, some vignetting and edge distortion will be present. These effects can be reduced or eliminated by using a smaller aperture, zooming in slightly, and/or cropping in post-production.

External macro lenses with 67mm threads from INON, Epoque, and other manufacturers, can be attached directly to the front of the housing's port.
