This Underwater Housing from Ikelite is a waterproof case enabling you to shoot beneath the surface with your Nikon D5300 DSLR camera. It has a depth rating of 200'. The housing's mechanical controls, which consist of knurled knobs and levers, provide access to virtually all camera functions, including all important ones; only a few, including the diopter adjustment control, info, self-timer, and flash mode/compensation buttons, are inaccessible.
Built for durability, the housing is designed and constructed by hand in the USA from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate, which is clear to allow you to monitor the o-ring seal and maintain a full view of the camera. A lens port is required and available separately. Choose from an array of dome and flat ports for macro, zoom, and wide-angle lenses. For full compatibility, see Port Chart. Additionally, two sets of zoom gears are included.
The Ikelite Digital TTL ICS-5 5-pin electrical bulkhead enables the connection of an optional strobe for TTL or full manual exposure control. The supplied tray has dual release handles with mounting points for lighting arms and also affords improved handling and balance underwater.
An Ikelite DS Substrobe is required for TTL operation, and is triggered without requiring your camera's built-in flash to fire--thereby conserving battery life and eliminating the lag as you wait for the camera's flash to recycle. Non-Ikelite strobes are available, too, though these will provide manual exposure only.
Tweak your TTL exposure or take total manual control without removing your hand from the housing. A simple dial on the back acts as a remote control for Ikelite DS Substrobes. Access plus/minus exposure compensation in TTL mode, plus 7 manual power settings in half-stop increments.
