Ikelite DC3 6" Dome for Compact Housings

If you're an underwater photography enthusiast seeking to capture stunning split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) with your compact digital system, the DC3 6" Dome for Compact Housings is your ideal solution. This innovative product, crafted by the reputable brand Ikelite, is designed to enhance your underwater photography experience by providing a wide-angle view, significantly increasing your angle of coverage compared to a flat port.

This high-quality dry dome, with its 6" diameter, not only lengthens and smooths the waterline but also remains compact and lightweight, making it a perfect travel companion for your underwater adventures. Unlike wet lenses that often create a challenging double water line when used at the surface, this dome ensures a smooth transition between water and air, making it easier to capture those captivating half-in, half-out shots.

Underwater, the DC3 Dome corrects for refraction, providing a full wide field of view that's substantially wider than a flat port, which typically magnifies the image 1.33x and reduces the field of view. With the dome installed, you can utilize approximately 3/4 of your camera's zoom range, giving you more flexibility in framing your shots.

At the surface, the large dry dome gives you greater control to achieve a clean, smooth water line. This can be a challenging feat with a flat port or a wet lens or dome, where double water lines can interfere with your shot.

The DC3 Dome is not only reliable but also easy to use. It replaces the standard port on your housing with a simple unthreading and threading process. For added convenience, a dome shade is included to reduce reflections, protect the dome, and allow you to set the housing down on its face for easy assembly and disassembly.

In conclusion, the DC3 6" Dome for Compact Housings is a durable, stylish, and innovative accessory that enhances your underwater photography experience, making it a must-have for any underwater photography enthusiast.
