    storing the Ikelite 6171.01 housing between dives

    Ponomo1, The responses from users here are spot on. Removing the o-ring and storing it inside the housing with the back unlatched is always best for short or long term storage. Minor breaches are usually caused by a small hair or debris getting into the o-ring sealing area, but the nice thing...

    Damaged wiring - Canon hot shoe connector in 200DL houseing

    Hi Langdon, Here are the correct locations for the Red and Blue wires (see attached pdf). I understand that you are unable to return the housing to Ikelite for repair, however, this will void the limited warranty on your housing electronics. Best Regards, Brett Foster - Ikelite

    Maintenance IKELITE CAMERA HOUSINGS

    ppina, Please reference p. 26-28 of the attached 6D instruction manual. If you thoroughly rinse and dry your housing after each dive, you will greatly reduce salt deposits and corrosion. I would recommend sending the housing to Ikelite Service for routine maintenance after a minimum of 50 or...

    Lubing o-rings

    Tom, We don't normally encourage o-ring lubrication when it is not necessary. This reduces the possibility of debris attaching to an o-ring and causing a leak. As a general rule, compression fit o-rings do not need lubrication, however, piston fit (side to side seal) o-rings require light...

Older push buttons are made of nickel-plated brass, while the newer ones are made of aluminum and are very resistant to any corrosion. Once the housing is received and...

    6441.42 red filter compatibility

    The 6441.42 filter has a slightly larger ID (inside diameter) than the INON uwl-h100 OD (outside diameter) and will not secure to the lens. That said, an unofficial workaround would be to increase the OD of the lens by wrapping it several times with electrical tape until it mates properly with...

    Ikelite 5505.46 - Flat port for Nikon 105mm VR

    Ikelite 5505.46 - Flat port for Nikon 105mm VR

    aristowong, The 5505.46 is too short to accommodate the fully extended lens length of the older Nikon 105mm macro lens. If memory serves, the 60mm will fit with full lens extension, but I do not have one available to confirm. Regards, Brett Foster - Ikelite

    Ikelite issue

    mcknight4, Some housing controls are designed to function primarily at depth so no undue pressure is placed on a camera control as a diver descends. These are normally housing controls that contact the camera on the surface, such as rotational type dials. In order to make these controls work on...
