Capture brilliant images at depths as great as 200' with your Nikon D810 DSLR in Ikelite's 200DL Underwater Housing, which features their 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 #4301.3 Nikon TTL Converter 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 most camera functions. Built for durability, the enclosure is made in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It is white on the front, top, sides, and bottom, but clear in 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 accepts various, interchangeable dome and flat ports for a broad array of lenses. For full compatibility details, see the port chart. The DL port system accommodates lenses with large diameters, and provides added security against leaks at the surface, thanks in large part to the included vacuum valve for checking watertight integrity before the dive. You'll need to pick up the required pump in order to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum.

• Control symbols are laser-etched into the back of the housing, so they won't fade or fall off with time

Q: 1. Hi, is this compatible with the Sony Zeiss FE16-35mm f4 lens and Sony 16-50mm kit lens? Thank you

A: Yes this would work for both lenses

Q: 2. Hi, Is this compatible with SONY A7S III? Thank you.

A: No, it is not. The Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing with Dry Lock Port Mount for Sony a7S III, B&H # IK200HSAA7S3, would instead be the correct underwater housing designed for use with the Sony Alpha a7S III Mirrorless Digital Camera.

Q: 3. Would this be an appropriate waterproof case for the canon rebel t6i; would it fit? If not, what would be a better option?

A: The Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Canon EOS Rebel T7i with Dry Lock Port Mount (200') is not compatible with the T6i. We could get for you the Nimar Underwater Housing for Canon EOS Rebel T6i. Keep in mind none of these housings include a lens port. You have to purchase a port to match the lens you are using. For help with ports or any other underwater questions email us at uw@bhphoto.com.

Q: 4. Would this protect my camera from paintballs if I used it to film paintball? Was wondering if it can withstand paintballs pelting it. Would it just dent or would it shatter the 200DL?

A: The Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Sony Alpha 1 or a7S III with Dry Lock Port Mount would be a good housing to protect your camera. I have not specifically seen it tested for photographing/filming paintball and cannot state if it would withstand direct hits from a paintball, but it would be one of the best protection options for your stated usage needs. If you wish, you can contact Ikelite directly with your inquiry about the experience with using their housings for use with paintball either by calling them at 317-923-4523 or by e-mailing them at ikelite@ikelite.com.

A: I'm sorry, no.

Q: 8. Would this be overkill for using the camera in rainy or snowy conditions?
