With your Canon EOS M50 mirrorless camera inside this Ikelite 200DLM/A Underwater Housing, you can capture brilliant images and video at depths as great as 200'. An Ikelite sync bulkhead and built-in TTL circuitry enable the connection of optional external strobes. Ikelite DS flash units can be used in TTL or manual exposure mode, while third-party strobes will work in manual mode.
Ergonomic controls, including push-buttons, dials, and levers, afford access to virtually all camera functions. Built for durability, the enclosure is made in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It is white on the front, top, sides, and bottom, but clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera's rear controls. An optional aluminum tray with a quick release grip or two will afford improved balance and handling, while offering a way to attach optional lighting arms.
The housing ships without a required lens port, and accepts various interchangeable dome and flat ports for a broad array of lenses. For full compatibility details, see the DLM Type A Port Chart.
