Ikelite Housing #6871.55 ....... $1,400 US Market Suggested Retail
( Camera, lens and lens port sold separately. )
This heavy-duty clear polycarbonate case is contoured to the camera, durable, and completely
corrosion free. O-ring seals and camera controls are plainly visible through the housing exterior.
The housing is fully functional to a depth
rating of 200 feet (60m).
Controls are provided through the housing for every camera function and
kept water-tight with Ikelite pioneered Quad-Ring seal glands—proven to be the
most reliable method of sealing controls.
A large zoom control knob can be comfortably reached without removing your
hand from the handle. An ergonomic control provides easy access of
the Rebel T2i's Live View shooting/Movie shooting pushbutton. A "stay depressed" control
for the Aperture/Flash Compensation button allows one-handed adjustment of aperture
value in manual mode.
The Super-Eye magnifier comes standard and offers enhanced visibility of the camera's
viewfinder while wearing a diving mask.
The camera's large LCD screen can be clearly viewed through the back of the housing for photo review
or use of the camera's movie and live preview features.
Release handles with comfortable rubber grips allow for easy attachment and removal of
mounting arms at the touch of a button. Two 12-24 screws remove the handle and tray assembly
for traveling. A 1/4-20 threaded top mount allows for attachment of a focus light.
Accepts #9571.6 optional 1" (2.5cm) or #9573.1 Flex Ball Adapters, sold separately.

- Strobe Use and TTL Exposure.
-
We feel that TTL exposure is so important in underwater photography that we include
TTL conversion circuitry in every Ikelite digital SLR housing.
The Canon eTTL2 conversion circuitry in the housing works perfectly with all current model
Ikelite DS Substrobes.
Exposure can be adjusted directly through the back of the housing using two pushbuttons.
Settings are clearly indicated even at night by a series of LED lights.
The TTL mode provides four half f/stop increments over or
under flash compensation to fine-tune exposure. Eight manual power settings in half-stop
increments allow for complete creative control.
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry
favorites for their warm, even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. We recommend convenient
and affordable strobe with sync cord packages that provide everything you need to take
advantage of "automatic" TTL exposure.
Use the #4103.52 dual sync cord to connect two DS Substrobes to your system.
All current model Ikelite strobes are fully compatible with this housing.
Existing DS substrobes may require circuitry updates.

Non-Ikelite strobes can be used, but they cannot provide eTTL exposure or be adjusted
manually through the housing. Special sync cords
are available to connect non-Ikelite strobes from Nikonos, Inon, and
Sea & Sea.

The optional #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.
- Lighting Options for Video Recording.
-
Light is essential to bringing out the vibrancy and colors of underwater life in your video. Several options
are available to add a video light to this system:
The DS161 Movie Substrobe combines the warm, even coverage of our famous Substrobe DS160 with a
powerful 500 lumen movie light. This is a perfect way to add performance without adding bulk.
Click here for more information on the DS161.
The Pro-V8 LED Light is a compact and affordable 500 lumen video light. It easily doubles as a focus light
and is compatible with any still or video system.
Click here for more information on the Pro-V8.
The Pro Video Lite 3 is the ultimate in output and angle of coverage. Available in 50W or 100W halogen
versions. A 100° spread is great for shooting with wide angle lenses. The rechargeable battery pack
attaches directly to the bottom of the SLR tray with just two screws.
