Good case - keep buttons greased

This case houses my Panasonic Lumix cameras. I've used two TS3 and one TS4 in it, and it works well, though the lens does seem to reduce the clarity of your images. You should grease the buttons and seals at least every 10 dives or so, and use dry sachets. I use two sachets at a time, changing them every day or two while in tropical humidity. Had this case through dozens of dives in Fiji, Mexico, Aruba, and in cold/cool/deep water dives from Maine to Florida. Only complaints are the clarity of the lens affecting the pictures and videos subtly, and the buttons sticking if not cleaned and maintained enough. Other than that I'd say it's a good purchase, though I cannot compare it to the similar but official Panasonic case that is the same price.

"You get what you pay for"

The case worked without a flaw. A little on the heavy side. I connected it to my BC with a retractable lanyard. While out of the water I had to keep it in my hand because the weight extended the lanyard all the way out but once in the water she hung right there with no problem.

"You get what you pay for"

By Capt E.

The case worked without a flaw. A little on the heavy side. I connected it to my BC with a retractable lanyard. While out of the water I had to keep it in my hand because the weight extended the lanyard all the way out but once in the water she hung right there with no problem.

The Ikelite ULTRAcompact digital housing really delivers when performance and durability matter. The ULTRAcompact housing is high quality, built to last and backed by Ikelite's long-standing reputation for excellence.

All camera controls are fully functional through the housing and depth rated to 200 ft. (60m). Easy open latch and drop in camera loading make set-up a breeze.

Two 12-24 threaded mounts on the bottom of the housing allow for the secure, rotation-free attachment of optional trays and lighting accessories.

External Color Filters
Replace some of the reds and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost. Available as #6441.31 for tropical blue water and #6441.71 for green water. Filters are effective in shallow, sunny conditions depending on water clarity.

External Underwater Strobes
Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle more quickly, and eliminate more backscatter than the camera's built-in flash.

Don't settle for flat, blue-green images. Use the AutoFlash AF35 for easy automatic exposure. Or add an optional DS Substrobe with EV Manual Controller for more power and wider angle of coverage. For the best results in all conditions.

Pro-V8 LED Video Lite
For additional lighting when using the camera's movie mode and to aid in focus. For use with or without a color filter.

External Accessory Lenses.
An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to your subject while still fitting everything in the frame. By reducing the amount of water between the subject and your camera lens, the resulting image will be more crisp and colorful

Attach 67mm threaded #6420 Ikelite W-20, Inon Type II and Epoque lenses using the #9306.78 port adapter. This adapter may also be used to attach 67mm threaded macro lenses

Attach bayonet style Inon macro or UWL-100 28AD, UWL-105AD and UFL-165AD wide angle or macro lenses using the #9306.85 port adapter.

Moderate vignetting (shading in the corners) will be present in the widest setting when using an external accessory lens. Unless otherwise noted, this effect is minimal and can be eliminated by zooming in slightly.

Travel Case.
Optional #3910 Travel Bag is the perfect carry-on for your compact system. Padded sides and divider provide just the right amount of protection for your photo equipment, laptop, electronic devices and personal items.

Trays with Release Handles
Optional Tray with Release Handle(s) provide comfortable handling underwater andattachment points for substrobes and accessories.
