Canon 7D Mark II review for underwater photography

Ikelite Housing Features

• DryLock Port System - This one of the signicant upgrades that was made from its predecessor.  The new  port system is even more robust and even easier to assembly than the Four Lock (FL) system. The DryLock Port System is lighter and more adaptable, and can accommodate extremely large diameter lenses with ease. Due to differences in mount diameter and zoom engagement, DL and FL system ports cannot be used interchangeably. The DL port mount may be removed and replaced with old style port locks for legacy users with standard or modular ports from our Four Lock system. This modification will prevent the use of newer DL ports. The housing cannot be converted back and forth repeatedly.

Please refer to Ikelite's DryLock Port Chart

• Vacuum System - Vacuum valve is included with the housing.  It allows you to test the housing and to check for leaks prior to putting your expensive equipment in the water. This provides peace of mind to the photographer that the rig is sealed.
•  TTL Exposure - The housings supports your choice of shooting all manual or adding TTL electronics depending on your application. The new modular electronics system allows the housing to be updated with future strobe communications products as they become available. You can still enjoy the fastest and most accurate TTL exposure on the market by adding the Ikelite CT1K Canon TTL Kit and a compatible Ikelite DS strobe. Exposure compensation can be used added or subtracted in the camera
• Control and Setup - In addition to the more ergonomic zoom control, Ikelite has also upgraded the all-important shutter and AF-ON levers to a more natural feeling curved design. Buttons have been redesigned to reduce weight and salt build-up. The back of the housing features laser engraved control symbols which will never fade or fall off.The camera mount is now front-loading for easy installation and removal. 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.
• Tray and Left Handle - The housing includes the tray base with left-hand Quick release handle.
