Questions & Answers

FAQ

Is the 200DL Underwater Housing compatible with other camera models?

No, this housing is specifically designed for Sony Alpha A7, A7R, and A7S Mirrorless cameras. Differences in lens and control placement prevent other camera models from being used in this housing.

What is the Dry Lock (DL) port system?

The Dry Lock (DL) port system is an innovative feature of the 200DL Underwater Housing. It is designed to be robust and easy to assemble, ensuring reliable performance even in remote locations. The DL system can accommodate large diameter, full-frame lenses with ease.

Does the 200DL Underwater Housing support TTL exposure?

Yes, the housing supports both manual strobe exposure and the addition of a TTL converter, depending on your application. For the fastest and most accurate TTL exposure on the market, consider adding the DL2 DS Link Sony TTL Converter Ikelite ST1 Hotshoe Kit and a compatible Ikelite DS strobe.

What materials is the 200DL Underwater Housing made from?

The housing is constructed from a new white ABS-PC blend that is stronger than its clear counterpart, provides improved contrast and visibility, and keeps your camera cooler in the sun. The rear seal and locking lid snaps are made from double-passivated stainless steel.

How can I ensure the housing is sealed properly before diving?

The housing includes a vacuum valve that allows you to vacuum test the housing for leaks prior to putting your expensive equipment in the water. The clear acrylic back provides a full view of the camera, o-ring, and LCD screen, offering additional assurance of a secure seal.

About Ikelite 200DL

Underwater photography is a breeze with the 200DL Underwater Housing, specifically designed for Sony Alpha A7, A7R, and A7S Mirrorless cameras. This high-quality, durable housing is perfect for scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, and pool photography, offering maximum protection for your camera in and around water.

The standout feature of this stylish housing is the innovative Dry Lock (DL) port system. Engineered for robustness and easy assembly, the DL system ensures reliable performance even in remote locations. With no complex moving parts to break, your underwater shoot is never at risk. The DL series ports are lighter and more adaptable than their FL counterparts, accommodating large diameter, full-frame lenses with ease.

This protective housing is ideal for shooting professional quality lenses like the Sony 28mm lens with Fisheye Conversion Lens or Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L III. The simple yet effective gearing system allows for easy engagement of most popular zoom lenses and select lens focus rings, putting adjustment right at your fingertips.

The housing also includes a vacuum valve for pre-dive leak tests, providing the ultimate assurance that your expensive equipment will be safe underwater. The clear acrylic back offers a full view of the camera, o-ring, and LCD screen, while the signature open-groove design makes the rear o-ring easier to maintain and more reliable.

Whether you're shooting with manual strobe exposure or adding a TTL converter, this housing supports your choice. The flash bulkhead is strategically located on top of the case to alleviate strain on the sync cord. For the fastest and most accurate TTL exposure on the market, consider adding the DL2 DS Link Sony TTL Converter Ikelite ST1 Hotshoe Kit and a compatible Ikelite DS strobe.

The 200DL Underwater Housing also features ergonomic and sensitive curved lever actuators for the shutter and AF/MF/AEL button, soft-touch knob controls for extra grip, and redesigned push buttons to reduce weight and salt build-up. The laser-engraved control symbols on the back of the housing will never fade or fall off, ensuring easy operation even in challenging underwater conditions.

Constructed from a new white ABS-PC blend, this housing is stronger, provides improved contrast and visibility, and keeps your camera cooler in the sun. The unique rear seal design prevents accidental twisting or stretching of the o-ring, while the two double-passivated stainless steel locking lid snaps are virtually unbreakable.

With the 200DL Underwater Housing for Sony Alpha A7, A7R, and A7S Mirrorless cameras, you can capture stunning underwater images with ease and confidence.
