Recommended Accessories

A full range of accessories are available to support your housing. Please visit www.ikelite.com to see the most current information about recommended accessories for your housing.

Accessory Mounting Points

The top of the SLR-DC housing features a 1/4-20 threaded mounting point for the attachment of a focus light, video light or other lightweight accessories. DO NOT attach heavy items to this mount and always use the correct length screw to attach a component.

The bottom of the SLR-DC housing tray also features five 1/4-20 threaded mounting points for attachment of a tripod or other accessories.

EV-Controller Use

TTL flash control is not available when using an EV-Controller, and therefore an EV-Controller is not recommended for use with this housing.

Note: The EV-Controller cannot be used as a slave. If hardwired to the housing, set the EV-Controller to Non pre-flash.

The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash “P” or non pre-flash “ P .” Most cameras use a pre-flash. This means the EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash “P” position when used with this camera as a slave. If a manual mode is used that does not emit a pre-flash, set the EV-controller to the non pre-flash “ P ” position.
