Ikelite ABS housing for Canon EOS 5D3 and 5DS cameras

The Ikelite housing is a less expensive option than the Nauticam aluminium dive housings and we recommend it’s use for shallower water shoots despite it’s 60m depth rating. It’s still a capable and functional housing for the Canon 5D3 and 5DS range of cameras and it comes with a 200mm acrylic dome port so is a super lightweight set up. The housing can be used with external underwater strobes, click here for more information on how these work with the housing, and we find it’s popular with stills photographers working in swimming pools and studios.
Lens support is achieved through a combination of specially designed gears that fit onto your lens giving manual control through the housing. If you want to hire one of our lenses with the gears pre-fitted please specify this in the form below, alternatively send us an email with your requirements to hire@waterproofmedia.co.uk
