Ikelite 12" Tray with Release Handle for Ikelite Digital Housings

Comments about Ikelite Tray with Release Handle:

Makes my point and shoot cannon easy to hold while diving. Adds some weight out of the water but once you are in it's light.

I bought this to go on my wife's Ikelite 6240.78 housing for a Canon SD780IS PowerShot camera. Upfront - this is an ultra-compact camera, and the housing is similarly very compact, which my wife prefers (she prioritizes "small" and "lightweight"). I prefer the ability to add strobes, etc.
The tray weighs more than the combined camera/housing combination, and it did not feel like the tray properly mated with the housing when installing it (although ultimately it is "tight").
I have medium sized hands and so the camera housing does not fit easily in my hands (they are medium sized, but feel "big" on the small housing). And I like to use strobes underwater and so I would "need" a tray for this camera/housing combination.
Bottom line - although I would recommend either this tray or (more likely) the two-handled tray (part 9523.32), my wife (who actually uses the camera and housing) would not. Given that I expect people considering this are probably okmre similar to my wife than me, I would recommend against purchasing this for the SD780 housing.

This handle is required if you would like to use an external flash with your digital camera housing. Using the internal flash on the small camera produces poor digital pictures, but when you add the handle and flash, the results are professional quality pictures
