IKELITE 200DL FOR THE NIKON Z50

Ergonomics and handling
Good ergonomics are critical when you need to concentrate on composition, focus, and proper exposure. Large, curved control levers put the most important controls right where you need them: shutter and autofocus (via the AF/MF button). This combination allows you to shoot with or without back button focus, an advanced technique that is useful for tack sharp focus of super macro and fast moving subjects. Each lever can be extended using the optional Shutter Trigger Extension  for perfect spacing when using a right-hand handle. The camera's large, super-bright LCD screen is viewable edge-to-edge through the back of the housing.

Set-up
A small mounting plate attaches to the bottom of the camera and secures in the front of the housing. The camera mounting plate does not need to be removed from the camera for surface use or when changing the battery or memory cards. The mounting plate features a 1/4-20 threaded tripod mount on the bottom so that it can be attached to a tripod on the surface. This housing is special designed the Nikon Z50 camera.

Port System
It couldn't be more simple to change ports than this system—just place the port and tighten the thumb screws. Feel positive reinforcement that the port is secure with simple parts you can trust in a remote location.

This housing accepts ports from our DL Port System to accommodate a selection of the best zoom, macro, and wide angle lenses for underwater use. Our custom optical grade acrylic domes components provide the color, clarity, and durability of glass at a fraction of the travel weight and cost. Lens port sold separately.

Vacuum Testing
A vacuum valve is installed standard on the side of the housing. The vacuum valve is designed to be low profile to avoid interference with controls. The optional Vacuum Pump with Gauge # 47011 allows you to draw a vacuum on the housing to check for leaks prior to entering the water.

Drawing a vacuum on the system also provides extra security at the surface of the water, especially important when using the housing in rough surf.

With the vacuum set you can pump the house vacuum to check that the house is indeed 100% waterproof.

Lighting
Water causes loss of colors, light and contrast, so it is important to keep the distance from the subject as short as possible. For best results, we recommend an external flash or a video light.

This housing supports your choice of shooting strobes by electrical sync cord or fiber optic triggering.

Durability and corrosion free performance
The housing is made of white ABS polycarbonate. This material is strong and corrosion-free and requires minimal maintenance. ABS-PC is lighter than aluminum for convenience when traveling. The white color reflects the sun to keep your camera cool for longer.
