Ikelite housing # 6181.79 ...... $ 300
( camera not included )

A mini-version of our heavy duty thick wall housings that is virtually indestructible, has 200 feet depth capabilities, and is priced like thin wall housings with limited depth rating.

This Nikon digital camera provides excellent results at a very realistic price. Drop into the housing for a fun and satisfying experience. All camera functions are accessible.

The housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. The flash built into the camera operates fine in the housing and provides very good photos.

Removable external color filters #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for green water settings provide color correction in sunny conditions up to approximately 80ft (24m). For use without a flash. Filters sold separately.

For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe (flash) is recommended. Ikelite strobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water which helps to eliminate backscatter.

Complete strobe systems are available for either automatic or manual exposure. Click here or on the link at the bottom of the page for information on recommended strobe systems.

An external port adapter is required for the use of accessory wide-angle and close-up lenses. Order the #9306.81 for use with 67mm threaded lenses such as the Ikelite W-20, Inon Type II, and Epoque lenses. Choose the #9306.80 adapter for use with Inon bayonet mount lenses.
