You can capture brilliant images at depths as great as 197' with your Nikon D3200 DSLR camera, thanks to this dedicated Underwater Housing from Nimar. It features a moisture alarm that alerts you in the unlikely event of a breach in the waterproof seal. The camera's built-in flash can trigger optional, external strobes via cables connected to the housing's dual fiber-optic ports. As an alternative, the enclosure's M14 port allows for the addition of an optional sync cord bulkhead for a hard-wired strobe connection.
Mechanical controls afford access to virtually all camera functions, while dual ergonomic grips improve handling and provide attachment points for optional lighting arms. A removable eyepiece helps you compose shots through the camera's viewfinder. The housing ships without a required lens port, and accepts interchangeable ports for a broad array of different lenses. For complete compatibility details, see the list below.
Built for durability, the housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant Bayer Makrolon polycarbonate, which is white on the front, sides, and top, but clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and camera. Stainless-steel latches with safety clips ensure that the enclosure stays shut during your dive.
