Optional Accessories

Lead Weight #0906.58

The buoyancy of the system will depend on the size and number of strobes used as well as the weight of the camera. Ideally the system should be slightly negative in the environment in which it will be used. If you need to add weight to the system, an optional lead weight is available. To add the lead weight remove the (2) screws from the bottom of the aluminum tray. Place the lead weight into the pocket of the aluminum tray and reattach.

#5512.68 includes:

Ikelite Lube — Port O'ring — Housing Back O'ring

While both the Port and Back o'rings should last quite some time it is best to carry a spare in case one becomes damaged or lost.

Storing the Housing

When the housing is going to be stored for a prolonged period it should be soaked in a mild soap solution, rinsed and dried thoroughly. Remove the back and port from the housing. Remove the back and port o'rings, lightly lubricate them and place them in a plastic zip-lock bag. Place the plastic bag inside the housing for storage. Operate the push buttons periodically.
