200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon D780 DSLR Camera

The Ikelite’s 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon D780 DSLR Camera, which features the Dry Lock Port Mount and a vacuum valve. An Ikelite bulkhead with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of optional external strobes via sync cords. The use of an optional TTL hot shoe and the 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 all essential 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.

Key Features

Ikelite 5-Pin Bulkhead Strobe Connector
Manual Flash Exposure, TTL Optional
Mechanical Controls
Access to All Essential Camera Functions
White ABS/Polycarbonate Body, Clear Back
Interchangeable DL Lens Port System

Made in the USA

This 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 create a vacuum.

Construction Details

Depth rating of 200′
Made by hand in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend
White on the front, top, sides, and bottom to reflect sunlight and keep the camera cool when shooting on or above the water’s surface
Clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera’s rear controls
Housing alone has nearly neutral buoyancy in fresh water, though your choice of lens and port may change the overall buoyancy of the system
Open-groove design suspends the rear O-ring in the natural position, allowing for easier maintenance and preventing accidental twisting or stretching
The front-loading mounting plate enables quick camera installation and does not need to be removed for you to gain battery or memory card access
The mounting plate has a 1/4″-20 threaded hole on the bottom for connection to an optional tripod

Strobe Connection and Operation

Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead connector with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of strobes
Optional #46056 DL1 DS Link Nikon TTL Converter and NT3 TTL Hot Shoe enable TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes
Non-Ikelite strobes, such as those from Sea & Sea, INON, and Retra, will still work in manual mode only
Older non-digital strobes can be used in manual mode
The housing ships without a required sync cord for a strobe
The bulkhead has been moved to the top of the enclosure to keep the cord out of your way and reduce strain on the ends
Ikelite’s #4405 Optical Slave Converter and Aquatica’s Water Wizard system are available options that will allow you to trigger wireless slave strobes

Controls and Handling

Sensitive shutter and AF-On levers are curved and extendable to increase comfort when using an optional right-hand grip
Large, soft-touch zoom knob is located next to the grip handle
Push buttons have been modified to reduce weight and salt buildup
Ergonomic mechanical push buttons, dials, and levers afford access to all camera functions except for mode dial, lock release, diopter adjustment control, focus mode selector, focus selector lock, PV, and Fn
Control symbols are laser-etched into the back of the housing, so they won’t fade or fall off with time
SuperEye Viewfinder enhances your view through the camera’s OVF when you’re wearing a mask
You can remove the SuperEye quickly if you’d like to attach the optional Straight or 45° Magnified Viewfinder instead
Hard-anodized aluminum tray with left-hand quick release grip improves balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm
Optional right-hand grip can be added easily
1/4″-20 mounts and other mounting points enable connection to a tripod and the addition of accessories
The tray is lighter than Ikelite’s previous model
Another 1/4″-20 threaded mount is located front and center on the housing above the port mount, allowing for the attachment of a focus light, GoPro action camera, or other lightweight piece of equipment
The optional Cable Grip or Aluminum Top Handle can be added for easier carrying if you’re using two strobes

Lens Ports

Ships without a required lens port
Accepts all Ikelite Dry Lock (DL) dome and flat ports, allowing you to shoot with a wide variety of lenses
Zoom gears are available for many lenses
For complete compatibility details, see the port chart linked above
DL port system accommodates lenses with large diameters
Provides added security against leaks at the surface thanks to the included vacuum valve that helps you check watertight integrity before the dive
Removal of excess air to create a vacuum requires #47011 Pump with Gauge
DL mount can be removed and replaced by the older FL (Four Lock) port locks, though this change would be irreversible unless you send the housing back to Ikelite to have the DL mount installed again
