IKELITE UNDERWATER HOUSING FOR CANON POWERSHOT G7 X MARK II

Capture detailed photos and HD video at depths as great as 200' beneath the surface with IKELITE UNDERWATER HOUSING FOR CANON POWERSHOT G7 X MARK II. The enclosure is equipped with two fiber-optic ports for the connection of optional, external strobes via the appropriate cords. Access to all camera functions except for the flash switch and mobile device connect button is afforded by the large, ergonomic, mechanical controls, including push buttons, knurled gears/knobs, and levers.

Construction Details

• Depth Rating: 200'
• Made by hand in the USA
• Crafted from corrosion-resistant ABS and polycarbonate blend
• Light gray/white on the front, sides, top, and bottom but clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and rear camera controls
• Light gray/off-white color reflects sunlight to keep the camera cool when shooting at or above water's surface, and also offers better contrast for improved viewing of the camera, monitor, and O-ring seal
• The design eliminates the need for an O-ring groove or channel, which can trap sand, dirt, or debris
• Two double-passivated, stainless steel locking lid snaps help ensure secure closure
• Front-loading camera mounting system makes installation and removal a breeze
• Camera mounting plate allows ready access to battery and memory card and features a standard 1/4"-20 threaded mount for connection to a tripod topside

Strobe Connection and Operation

• Dual fiber-optic ports for the connection of optional, external strobes via the appropriate cords
• At depths greater than about 60', or when diving in dark conditions, an external light source is necessary to provide adequate illumination and restore colors that get absorbed by water and turned into muted blue and green shades
• To preserve the natural colors of subjects and environments in images, try to stay within arm's reach of what you're shooting. The further away you go, the more light is absorbed by water, which acts like a big blue/green filter

Controls, Handling, and Operation

• Access to all camera functions except for flash switch and mobile device connect button is afforded by large, ergonomic, mechanical controls, including push-buttons, knurled gears/knobs, and levers
• Rear controls marked with easy-to-see, laser-engraved symbols that won't fade or fall off with time
• Extra-sensitive shutter lever for easy activation
• Front rubberized grip for a secure hold
• Two 1/4"-20 threaded holes are included on the bottom of the housing for the attachment of optional tray with grips, which will improve balance and handling underwater while offering attachment points for lighting arms

Lens Port

• Built-in, flat, optical glass lens port with a 3.0" diameter allows full use of zoom range
• Optional, accessory wide-angle and macro conversion lenses can be attached to the port's 67mm front threads with minimal vignetting, while 3.9" color-correction filters can be fitted onto the front of the port
• INON UWL-H100 lens results in the least vignetting and best clarity
• Wide-angle lenses provide a greater angle of coverage to allow you to fit more in the frame, while macro lenses magnify your image to enable close-ups with greater clarity and detail
• Both types of conversion lenses get you closer to subjects, reducing the amount of water in between you and therefore minimizing distortion
• Optional, external color-correction filters, available for tropical blue and green water help restore hues that get absorbed underwater in order to bring back richness, vibrancy, and color accuracy to images
• Since color filters reduce the amount of light that enters the lens, they are most effective in sunny conditions at depths of about 80' or less
• Color filters are not recommended for use in conjunction with external lighting, as the combination can throw off color accuracy in images
