Ikelite Underwater Camera Housing for Canon Powershot SX-1is Digital Camera

For the most discerning of underwater photographers we offer a full-featured yet affordable camera housing for the Canon Powershot SX1 IS digital camera. This durable housing is molded of crystal clear polycarbonate for corrosion free operation up to a depth of 200ft (60m).

Every camera function is accessible in this very sophisticated housing installation.

The housing comes standard with an optical grade glass flat port which allows full use of the camera's zoom range without vignetting. Due to the exceptionally long throw of the camera's lens, no wide angle options are available for this housing.

The included tray and dual release handles offers balance and exceptional handling while providing a convenient attachment point foroptional Substrobe mounting arms. Strobe arms can be released easily at the touch of a button whether above or below water.

Since so much of the light is blocked by the lens port, the camera's built-in flash cannot be used to illuminate the subject. We recommend adding an external strobe for best results. Read on for more information on lighting options.

Special conversion circuitry built in to the housing provides true Canon eTTL exposure connected to any current model Ikelite DS Substrobe. The camera controls the Substrobe's output resulting in effortlessly perfect exposure.

Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm, even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. We recom mend convenient and affordable strobe with sync cord packages that provide everything you need to take advantage of "automatic" TTL exposure.
• #3944.45 Substrobe DS51 standard package
• #3944.51 Substrobe DS51 deluxe package
• #3944.90 Substrobe DS160 deluxe package

Special sync cords are available to connect non-Ikelite strobes from Nikonos, Inon, and Sea & Sea. Non-Ikelite strobes can be used in manual modes only.
• #4116.31 Single Nikonos SB strobe
• #4116.32 Dual Nikonos SB strobes
• #4118.1 Single Sea & Sea or Inon strobe
• #4118.2 Dual Sea & Sea or Inon strobes

Strobes with a slave feature can be triggered by the camera's flash. An included flash deflector prevents the camera's flash from creating backscatter in the image.

The #9571.3 features a 1" (2.5cm) ball for attachment to the top of the release handle. This provides a mounting point for Ultralight, TLC, and other non-Ikelite arm systems

The optional #3940 Ikelite Photocase is the perfect way to protect your investment. Special die-cut foam accommodates and protects housing, accessories, and up to two substrobes.
