Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon Z 5 Mirrorless Digital Camera

EAN: 883711063140

Capture brilliant images at depths as great as 200 with your Nikon Z 5 mirrorless digital camera in Ikelite s 200DL Underwater Housing, which features the Dry Lock Port Mount and vacuum valve. An Ikelite bulkhead with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of optional external strobes via sync cords. Using an optional TTL hot shoe and the Nikon TTL Converter 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, dials, and levers, afford access to all essential camera functions. Built for durability, the enclosure is made in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It is white on the front, top, sides, and bottom, but clear in the back to allow 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 improved balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm.

The housing ships without a required lens port and accepts various interchangeable dome and flat ports for a broad array of lenses. The DL port system accommodates lenses with large diameters, and it provides added security against leaks at the surface, thanks in large part to the included vacuum valve for checking watertight integrity before the dive. You ll need to pick up the required pump to remove excess air and create a vacuum.
