Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Canon EOS 7D

Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Canon EOS 7D

EAN: 883711056074

Capture sharp, detailed photos and video beneath the surface with the Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Canon EOS 7D, featuring a Dry Lock port mount and a 200` depth rating. An Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of optional external strobes. Use of an optional TTL hot shoe and circuitry will allow for TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes; non-Ikelite strobes will still work in manual mode only.

Ergonomic mechanical controls including push-buttons, knurled knobs/dials, and levers afford access to virtually all camera functions. Built for durability, the enclosure is from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It`s white on the front, top, sides, and bottom, but the clear acrylic back plate allows you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera`s rear controls. The supplied aluminum tray with a left-hand quick release grip affords good balance and handling, while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm.

The housing ships without a required lens port, and accepts various dome and flat ports for a broad array of zoom, macro, and wide-angle lenses. For full compatibility, see the The Dry Lock (DL) port system accommodates lenses with large diameters and provides added security against leaks at the surface, thanks in large part to the included vacuum valve for checking watertight integrity before the dive. The DL port mount may be removed and replaced by an older one to allow you to use standard and modular ports from Ikelite`s Four Lock system.
