Capture 45MP photos and 8K raw video with this Ikelite Underwater Housing and Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body Kit from B&H. The housing is depth-rated to 200' and offers mechanical control of the camera's functions. The housing ships without a required lens port, and it accepts various interchangeable domes and flat ports for a broad array of lenses.
The EOS R5 body features a DIGIC X image processor and Sensor-Shift 5-axis image stabilization. Grab your favorite lens, the appropriate port, and a strobe or video light, and you'll be ready to make beautiful images and capture striking video of the undersea world.
Capture brilliant images at depths as great as 200' with your Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera in Ikelite's 200DL Underwater Housing, which features the Dry Lock Port Mount and vacuum valve. An Ikelite bulkhead with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of optional external strobes via sync cords. Using an optional TTL hot shoe and the CT2K Canon TTL Kit (#46072) will allow for TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes; non-Ikelite strobes will still work in manual mode only.
Ergonomic mechanical controls, including push buttons, dials, and levers, afford access to all essential camera functions. The spare M16 threaded accessory port provides an attachment point for third-party accessories, including HDMI bulkheads. Built for durability, the enclosure is made from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It is white on the front, top, sides, and bottom but clear on the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera's rear controls. The supplied aluminum tray with a left-hand quick release grip affords improved balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm.
The housing ships without a required lens port, and it accepts various interchangeable domes and flat ports for a broad array of lenses. For full compatibility details, see the port chart. The included vacuum valve for checking watertight integrity provides added security against leaks at the surface, before the dive. You'll need to purchase the required pump in order to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum to confirm the integrity of the seal.
