Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon D850 with Dry Lock Port Mount

Capture brilliant images at depths as great as 200` with your Nikon D850 DSLR in Ikelite`s 200DL Underwater Housing, which features their 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. For full compatibility details, see the The 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. You`ll need to pick up the required pump in order to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum.

Construction Details

• Depth rating of 200`
• Made by hand in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend
• White on the front, top, sides, and bottom to reflect sunlight and keep the camera cool when shooting on or above the water`s surface
• Clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera`s rear controls
• Nearly neutral buoyancy in fresh water
• Open-groove design suspends the rear O-ring in the natural position, allowing for easier maintenance and preventing accidental twisting or stretching
• Front-loading mounting plate enables quick camera installation, and does not need to be removed in order for you to gain battery or memory card access
• Mounting plate has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the bottom for connection to an optional tripod

Strobe Connection and Operation

• Use of an optional external strobe is highly recommended for color correction and adequate brightness, and basically essential once you descend deeper than 15-20` underwater
• Strobe restores hues that get absorbed by the water, so your images are vibrant and accurate
• Try to stay no more than 3-4` away from your subject to preserve natural colors in images
• Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead connector with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of strobes
• Optional #46064 NT2 Nikon TTL hot shoe and #4301.3 Nikon TTL Converter enable TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes, which use #4103.51 Single and #4103.52 Dual Cords
• Exposure compensation can be adjusted using the control in the camera
• Non-Ikelite strobes, such as those from Sea & Sea, INON, and Nikonos, will still work in manual mode only, and can be attached via the following cords: #4118.1 Single INON or Sea & Sea, #4118.2 Dual INON or Sea & Sea, #4116.31 Single Nikonos SB, and #4116.32 Dual Nikonos SB
• Older non-digital strobes can be used in manual mode via #4103.51 Single and #4103.52 Dual Cords
• Housing ships without a required sync cord for a strobe
• Bulkhead has been moved to the top of the enclosure to keep the cord out of your way and reduce strain on the ends

• Push-buttons have been modified to reduce weight and salt buildup
• Ergonomic mechanical push-buttons, dials, and levers afford access to all camera functions except for the mode dial lock release, AF mode button, focus mode selector, diopter adjustment control, Pv button, Fn button, and focus selector lock
• Control symbols are laser-etched into the back of the housing, so they won`t fade or fall off with time
• Supereye Viewfinder enhances your view through the camera`s OVF when you`re wearing a mask
• You can remove the Supereye quickly if you`d like to attach the optional Straight or 45° Magnified Viewfinder instead
• Hard-anodized aluminum tray with a left-hand quick-release grip affords improved balance and handling, while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm

Nikon D850 DSLR Camera

Proving that speed and resolution can indeed coexist, the Nikon D850 is a multimedia DSLR that brings together robust stills capabilities along with apt movie and time-lapse recording. Revolving around a newly designed 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor and proven EXPEED 5 image processor, the D850 is clearly distinguished by its high resolution for recording detailed imagery. The back-illuminated design of the sensor is able to acquire greater detail and clarity when working in low-light conditions, and the sensor also forgoes an optical low-pass filter for improved sharpness. Working in conjunction with the sensor is the EXPEED 5 image processor, which together afford a 7 fps continuous shooting rate for up to 51 consecutive frames, an expandable sensitivity range from ISO 32 to 102400, and 4K U
