Ikelite 200DLM/D Underwater Housing Kits for Canon R10
Rugged, compact underwater housing — dive to 60 m
Overview
The Ikelite 200DLM/D Underwater Housing Kits for Canon EOS R10 [Fiber Optic Update] are a set of five ready-to-dive packages built around Ikelite’s latest fiber-ready ikelite underwater housing for the Canon EOS R10. Every kit includes the upgraded housing with integrated Fiber Optic TTL Transmitter, dual tray with dual handles, Vacuum Leak Detection System, and spare O-rings, so you can build a rig that matches your budget and shooting style.
The lineup ranges from a housing-only kit (with tray and vacuum system) to port-included kits for the RF-S 18–45mm & 10–18mm or 18–150mm zooms, and up to full camera kits that bundle the Canon EOS R10 body and matching kit lens. These flexible Ikelite housings are ideal for travel, reef diving, macro, and wide-angle work, and they pair perfectly with Ikelite strobes via the built-in fiber-optic TTL system. Use legacy Ikelite DS strobes with full fiber optic TTL functionality by adding an RC2 Fiber Optic Receiver to each strobe (not required for newer Ecko Fiber and RC-series strobes). Non-Ikelite fiber optic strobes can be used in manual exposure modes only.
- What it is: A family of five kits built around the 200DLM/D Ikelite housing for Canon EOS R10, ranging from housing + tray/handles to full housing + port + camera + lens bundles.
- Best for / not for: Best for APS-C mirrorless shooters who want a compact, travel-friendly system with integrated fiber-optic TTL; not for users needing multi-camera compatibility or full-frame bodies.
- Key compatibility: Designed specifically for Canon EOS R10; uses the DLM (Dry Lock Micro) port system with dedicated options for RF-S 18–45mm & 10–18mm and RF-S 18–150mm lenses; integrated Fiber Optic TTL Transmitter supports compatible Ikelite strobes in TTL, while non-Ikelite fiber-optic strobes operate in manual.
- Important limitations: A DLM lens port is required for underwater use (different ports per lens); some camera controls (diopter slider, focus-mode switch, depth-of-field preview, multi-controller movement) are not accessible; housing is dedicated to the EOS R10 and does not fit other camera models.
Key Features:
- Ergonomics - The Ikelite R10 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.
- Reef diving and travel — compact mirrorless camera fits comfortably in a dive bag.
- Macro or wide-angle underwater photography with appropriate DLM port and lens.
- Snorkeling or freediving where portability matters more than bulky housings.
- Underwater video projects using EOS R10’s capabilities with external lights or strobes.
Pros
- Compact and lightweight for a full-feature underwater housing — easier to carry and travel with than many DSLR housings.
- Depth rating to 60 m covers most recreational diving and freediving scenarios.
- Mechanical control layout gives reliable access to shutter, AF-ON and essential shooting functions underwater.
- Built-in bulkhead & hot shoe make external strobe mounting immediate; port system allows flexible lens choices.
Cons
- Lens port is sold separately — you must purchase a compatible DLM port for your lens (Some Kits includes a dome port)
- No built-in TTL — TTL requires optional converter and compatible strobes for full functionality.
