Ikelite 6116.18 Overview

Capture clear, detailed images at depths as great as 200' with Ikelite's Underwater Housing for your Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Mark VI or Mark VII camera. Two fiber optic ports enable the connection of external Ikelite DS strobes (requires Fiber Optic Converter #4401.1 and Fiber Optic Cord #4501, sold separately). Large, ergonomic mechanical controls provide access to all camera functions except for the flash and viewfinder switches. The camera's fully extended zoom lens fits within the integrated 3.9" lens port.

Built for durability, the housing is designed, constructed, and tested in the USA. It's manufactured from a white ABS/polycarbonate blend, which is still corrosion resistant but also reflects sunlight to keep your camera cooler when shooting at or above the water's surface. The back plate is clear to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain a full view of the camera. The lens port accepts user-supplied external wide-angle and macro add-on lenses for an enhanced view. Optional color-correction filters can also be added to restore colors that get absorbed by the water.

Ikelite Beats Fantasea

By Rich
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-12-11

I accidentally purchased the Fantasea, but returned it in exchange for the Ikelite due to limitations of the camera zoom function. The tray for camera mounting and full range for the camera zoom on the Ikelite make for a good underwater housing. Adding a grip give more to hold onto in the water.

Amazing, and made in USA

I purchased this last month before I several underwater trips. This housing is incredibly well made and is solid. I debated between sea frogs and this product and Ikelites construction is meant for serious usage. The only feature you can’t utilize while underwater is the flash release. I spent about 2 weeks playing with the housing in the pool and on land before I headed on vacation. I recommend you do the same as the controls are there but have a different feel. I also realized it was hard to hold so I added an Ikelite grip and highly recommend it. This allows a good firm grip while Scuba diving or Snorkeling and also provides an attachment point.

Does this work with the RX100 shooting grip attached?
Asked by: Richard
No, it will not. Any additional camera grips would have to be removed before inserting the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI Digital Camera inside the Ikelite Underwater Housing for Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Mark VI. There is not enough clearance to use a grip with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI Digital Camera, and attempting to use one would prevent the housing from closing properly for underwater usage and may prevent the buttons on the housing from properly aligning with the buttons on the camera.
