Overview & Features
A full featured and durable waterproof housing for Sony FX3 and FX30 digital cinema cameras. Suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and any application in or around the water. An optional USB-C Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead allows you to charge the battery and offload your memory card without removing the camera from the housing. The Ikelite system can be expanded for any shooting needs including the addition of an optional M24 accessory port for an HDMI 2.0 external monitor.
Pre-Dive Checks
There is no greater assurance than being able to see your camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing. Our signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Once the housing is closed you can see the o-ring form a solid, waterproof seal.
We recommend using a pump with gauge to pull a vacuum on the housing and check for leaks prior to entering the water.
Durability and Corrosion-Free Performance
Our white ABS-PC blend housing provides strength and
corrosion-free performance year with minimal maintenance. ABS-PC is
lighter than aluminum for convenience during travel and less drag
underwater. The specially formulated color deflects the sun to keep your
camera running cooler, longer. Compared to black or clear housings, the
light color provides superior contrast for enhanced view of the camera,
LCD screen, and o-ring seal.
Lens Ports
The single most important feature is the new Dry Lock (DL) port
system. This exciting new system is designed to be robust and easy to
assemble. It is built for reliable performance in the most remote of
locations, meaning that their are no complex moving parts that may break
and jeopardize your shoot.
Most popular zoom lenses and select lens
focus rings can be engaged using a simple yet effective gearing system
that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. A large, soft-touch lobed
knob on the side of the housing makes fine tuned adjustments a breeze.
Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using. All
are lightweight and affordable. Refer to the DL System Port Chart for
Sony Alpha Series to choose the correct gear. Zoom gears sold
separately.
Wi-Fi Transfer
Use the camera's built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The Wi-Fi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.
Vacuum System
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.
M16 Accessory Port
The spare M16 threaded accessory port provides an attachment point for third party accessories including HDMI bulkheads.
Set-Up
The camera mount is front-loading for easy installation and
removal. 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
mount on the bottom so that it can be attached to a tripod on the
surface.
