Ikelite Housing Canon SX730 & SX740 HS #6148.73

The zoom range of this camera is limited while inside of the housing in order to provide the best underwater imaging possible.
The camera cannot be zoomed beyond 220mm equivalent inside of the housing.

This compact and lightweight housing allows you to operate either camera up to depths of 200 feet (60m). It is designed and built in the USA by experienced divers with a commitment to providing top quality and value.

Large, easy-to-reach controls are provided for all camera functions except the Flash open lever. If using an external underwater strobe, simply open the flash prior to installation of the camera in the housing. 

Rear controls are marked with easy-to-see laser engraved symbols which never fade or fall off. The front-loading camera mounting system makes installation and removal a breeze. The camera mounting plate allows ready access to the battery and memory card, and features a standard 1/4-20 mounting point for attachment to a tripod topside.

Zoom and macro close-up

The optional WD-4 Wide Angle Dome provides a wider angle of view underwater without the edge distortion, heaviness, or difficult attachment typically associated with an external wide angle lens. The WD-4 is a 0.75x magnification factor and simply slides on and off of the housing's lens port.

A press-fit Macro Adapter is available for the attachment of 67mm threaded accessory macro lenses. We recommend a macro lens which is designed for underwater use like those from Epoque, INON, Subsee, Nauticam, and other manufacturers. The adapter should not be used with 67mm threaded wide angle lenses. The wide angle lens would be too far away from the camera's lens to provide an improved image.

The location of the camera's flash in relation to the lens makes it unusable for lighting your subject underwater. However, the camera's flash may be used to trigger an external strobe. Two ports are provided for the connection of up to two fiber optically triggered underwater strobes.

Two 1/4-20 threaded mounting points are included on the bottom of the housing for the attachment of a tray and handle system. Handles provide improved ergonomics underwater and are the foundation for your lighting mounts.

Vacuum Testing

A spare 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port on the side of the housing is the perfect location for the installation of an optional vacuum valve. The Vacuum Kit # 47012 allows you to pressurize the housing to check for leaks prior to entering the water.
