Ikelite 200DLM/D Underwater Housing for Canon EOS R100 with 18–45mm & 10–18mm Lenses [Fiber Optic Update]

Fiber-optic TTL, vacuum safety, and a ready-to-dive port kit for Canon RF-S 18–45mm and 10–18mm lenses.

The Ikelite 200DLM/D Underwater Housing Kit for the Canon EOS R100 is a complete, ready-to-dive solution built around a lightweight, durable Ikelite underwater housing and a matched DLM lens port and zoom gear. This combination works with the included Canon RF-S 18–45mm kit lens and is also compatible with the RF-S 10–18mm wide-angle zoom (lens not included), giving you flexible coverage for reef scenes, travel, and everyday diving. The included port can be swapped for other DLM-series ports, so you can add popular wide-angle, zoom, and macro lenses later as your system grows.

Out of the box, this Ikelite housing kit includes an integrated Fiber Optic TTL Transmitter, Dual Tray with Dual Handles, Vacuum Leak Detection System, and spare O-rings. It’s a full-featured, waterproof housing for the Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera, suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and most in-water use. The custom ABS-PC body is lighter than aluminum yet tough enough for rough conditions, and Ikelite lens ports are among the lightest available while still standing up well to surf and boat use. You can engage supported zoom and focus rings via simple external gearing, use the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi above water to pull images without opening the housing, and rely on the clear back and vacuum system for peace of mind—every unit reflects Ikelite’s long experience building reliable Ikelite housings for demanding underwater shooters.

Here are some of the key features of the Ikelite Canon EOS R100 200DLM/D underwater housing:

• What it is: Three options available: Housing only; Housing with Port, or Housing with Port, Camera and Lens. 200DLM/D ikelite housing + DLM dome port and zoom gear kit for Canon EOS R100 with RF-S 18–45mm and RF-S 10–18mm lenses, including tray, dual handles, and vacuum leak detection. 
• Best for: Travel, reef wide-angle, everyday diving, and entry-level to intermediate shooters wanting simple, automatic fiber-optic TTL with Ikelite strobes.
• Not for: Users needing electrical sync bulkheads, support for non-R100 camera bodies, or extra-large RF zooms that exceed the DLM system’s diameter limits. 
• Key compatibility: Canon EOS R100 body with RF-S 18–45mm f/4.5–6.3 IS STM and RF-S 10–18mm f/4.5–6.3 IS STM using DLM Dome Port #5516.15 and Zoom Gear #5515.14 (included in this configuration).
• Important limitations: AF-only operation; specific ports, zoom gears, and anti-reflection rings are required per lens; non-Ikelite fiber-optic strobes work in manual only. 

Key Features:

• Ergonomics - The Ikelite R100 Housing has excellent ergonomics. Buttons, levers and dials are located at your fingertips. The curved trigger levers for shutter and back button focus can hug the side of the housing if shooting without a grip or be extended for easy reach from an optional handle. AF-ON is accessible with your thumb by a lever control at the side of the housing. When combined with back button focus, this provides a shooting method far easier than attempting to half-press the camera's shutter button. Soft-touch control knobs add comfort and extra grip to the main dial, quick control dial, power switch, and lens release. Stainless steel, direct-drive rotating controls are virtually fail-safe and user serviceable and adjustable in a pinch.
• Setup—Installation and removal of the camera is very easy.  A small 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 the surface.
• Vacuum Testing - The optional Ikelite Vacuum Kit allows you to draw a vacuum on the housing to check for proper assembly prior to entering the water and provides peace of mind.
• TTL Strobe Exposure - Ikelite offers a fast and accurate TTL converter - Ikelite DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter and CT1 TTL Hotshoe Kit which can be programmed to the camera's specific TTL protocol and supports both first curtain and rear curtain sync up to the camera's maximum flash sync speed.  Exposure compensation can be used added or subtracted in the camera. A push button and indicator light on the side of the converter make it simple to switch back and forth between TTL and manual exposure underwater.
• Strobe Compatiblity - Strobes can be connected via electronic sync cord, fiber optic strobes are not compatible.
• Port Setup - Choose the correct port components on the lens you will be shooting. For more details on port set-ups for your lens combinations, please consult our Ikelite port charts.
