Waterproof Housing for Nikon D3300

This new Ikelite housing has been to be one of the best performance-to-dollar purchases in the world. The Ikelite DSLR housing is a seamless blend of functionality, durability and waterproof integrity.

TTL Advantage
TTL or “Through-The-Lens” flash metering means the camera controls flash duration to properly expose an image. Ikelite’s built-in proprietary circuitry tells your camera that a TTL external flash is attached, allowing the camera to adjust exposure more accurately than with the slave TTL strobes.

Fiber optic slave flash units require the camera’s flash to fire every time. This creates shutter lag as you wait for the camera’s flash to recycle between shots, drains your camera’s battery life, and builds up heat inside the housing. Ikelite electronics translate direct electrical impulses from your camera, triggering your strobe and precisely adjusting its power without the need to fire the camera’s flash. This eliminates the slave TTL strobe issues of signal interference, inconsistent exposure due to weak fiber optic transmission and false triggering caused by light rays bouncing off the water’s surface or your buddy’s flash going off.

Exposure Adjustment
Exposure adjustments directly through the back of the housing put the perfect shot within reach every time. Tweak your TTL exposure or take total manual control without taking your hand off of your housing. Controls on the back of the housing act as a remote control for compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes.  Access plus/minus exposure compensation in TTL mode, plus manual power settings in half-stop increments.

Ergonomics
An over-sized knob smoothly engages our unique system of universal zoom gears. Ikelite provide two zoom sets with each housing, one for use with most popular larger diameter zoom lenses and a second designed for use with smaller diameter zoom lenses. Both sets are lightweight and easy to install with no modification to the lens required. A variety of dome and flat ports attach with four locking latches for maximum security and quick changes between dives.

This housing includes a balanced aluminum tray with our signature quick release handles for easy attachment and removal of external lighting. An aluminum ¼-20 threaded top mount provides an additional attachment point for lightweight accessories.

Construction
Special polycarbonate blends allows for an extremely strong yet clear and lightweight enclosure. There’s little substitute for inspecting the actual o-ring seal once your housing is closed. Ikelite’s signature clear construction lets you see that the housing is watertight and dry before you enter the water, and provides full view of the camera while you’re diving. Polycarbonate is fundamentally corrosion-resistant for easy maintenance year after year.

Like every Ikelite product, their housings are designed, built, and tested in the USA. They use locally sourced, top-grade materials. The housings are built by hand and individually tested for fit, function and waterproof integrity. The average assembly technician is a certified scuba diver and has over 16 years of experience building Ikelite products.

This housing requires the addition of a compatible lens port for waterproof operation. Lens port not included.
