Ikelite 200DLM/C U/W TTL Housing for Canon EOS 200D Rebel

Product Overview

The Canon EOS 200D Rebel SL2 is an upgrade to the popular EOS 100D Rebel SL1 Compact DSLR Camera. What makes this system so different from mirrorless and even other DSLR systems? The fact that the camera body is compact and lightweight, ergonomically shaped like a DSLR, & capable of accepting Canon EF lenses. Whether you've been shooting a full-frame DSLR or a compact point-and-shoot, the EOS 200D Rebel SL2 may be the best next step. This system combines fast focus, 24-megapixel resolution, TTL exposure, & great battery life into a housing that's half the size & weight of all other DSLR models (camera not included).

Ergonomics & Handling:This powerful compact housing includes all Ikelite's latest upgrades to controls and ergonomics. The shutter lever has been updated to a more sensitive & natural feeling curved design. The standard control hugs the side of the housing for comfortable use when hand holding. New soft-touch control knobs add comfort & extra grip to the most commonly used functions. Ikelite's push buttons have been redesigned to reduce weight & salt build-up. The back of the housing features laser engraved control symbols which will never fade or fall off. The camera mount is front-loading for easy installation/removal. A 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 surface.

Confidence:The unique rear seal design prevents accidental twisting or stretching of the O-ring for simple & confident assembly. Ikelite has eliminated the need for an O-ring groove or channel which can trap sand, dirt, or debris. Two double-passivated stainless-steel locking lid snaps are simple to use and virtually unbreakable. The clear back allows you to see the O-ring form a solid, watertight seal as it closes. A spare 1/2-20 threaded accessory port is provided on the side of the housing for easily installation of the optional Vacuum Kit # 47012. A vacuum kit allows you to pressurize the housing to check for proper assembly prior to entering the water.

Viewfinders:The included Supereye Viewfinder provides an enhanced view of the camera's optical viewfinder when viewed through a dive mask. The viewfinder removes quickly and easily for the attachment of an optional Straight Magnified Viewfinder # 6890 or 45° Magnified Viewfinder # 6891.1. The camera's large, super-bright LCD screen is viewable edge-to-edge through the back of the housing.

True TTL Exposure: An integrated TTL circuit is fine-tuned to the Canon EOS 200D Rebel SL2 flash exposure protocol for the most accurate exposure possible. The circuit is powered by the strobe for zero maintenance & no batteries to change. Exposure compensation in TTL mode is supported using the camera's built-in control. The TTL system can be used with current model Ikelite DS series strobes. SEA&SEA, INON, and Nikonos strobes are not capable of powering the circuitry. SEA&SEA, INON, and Nikonos strobes will still enjoy fast recycle times & improved battery life but must be used in manual exposure modes only.

This housing provides a direct electrical connection to the camera's external flash hot shoe. Cord attachment is as easy as screwing in a light bulb, & the threaded fit prevents accidental detachment during use. The bulkhead connection has been moved to the top of the housing to keep cords out of your way & reduce strain on the cord. A variety of sync cord terminations are available for Ikelite, SEA&SEA, INON, or Nikonos strobes for ultimate versatility. The built-in flash is not usable in this installation. Triggering of fiber optic strobes is not supported at this time. A strobe must be connected by electrical sync cord. A bright constant-on video light can be used instead of or in addition to a flash. Constant-on lights do provide added versatility because they can be used for focus assist & for improved colors when shooting video. There is a simple rule that brighter is better underwater. A high-quality lighting system can produce magazine quality results with almost any camera system.

Two 1/4-20 threaded mounting points are included on the bottom of the housing for attachment of a tray & handle system. Handles provide improved ergonomics underwater & are the foundation for your lighting mounts. The Tray with Dual Quick Release Handles # 9523.64 is the most popular choice for both handling and attachment of accessories. We recommend installing the Shutter Trigger Extension # 4077.93 when using a right-hand handle.

Port System:It couldn't be simpler to change ports than this system just press the port on and tighten three 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 Ikelite's DLM Port System to accommodate a selection of the best zoom, macro, and wide-angle lenses for underwater use. Ikelite's custom optical grade acrylic domes components provide the color, clarity, and durability of glass at a fraction of the travel weight and cost.

Durability and Corrosion Free Performance: Ikelite's brand new ABS-Polycarbonate blend provides strength and corrosion free performance year with minimal maintenance. The specially formulated color deflects the sun to keep your camera running cooler, longer. Compared to black or clear housings, the light gray color provides superior contrast for enhanced view of the camera, LCD screen, and O-ring seal. The unique rear seal design prevents accidental twisting or stretching of the O-ring for simple and confident assembly. Ikelite has eliminated the need for an O-ring groove or channel which can trap sand, dirt, or debris. Two double-passivated stainless-steel locking lid snaps are simple to use and virtually unbreakable. The clear back allows you to see the O-ring form a solid, watertight seal as it closes.
