Mounting Canon, Olympus & Sony Housings to the Tray Applies to Single or Dual Tray.

After the proper Tray Insert is installed the housing can be mounted to the AF35 tray. Turn the housing so the Tripod Mount on the bottom of the housing is facing up. Place the tray across the bottom of the housing, align the center hole in the tray with the hole in the Tripod Mount on the bottom of the housing. Insert the mounting bolt with lock washer as shown below and tighten the bolt firmly to secure the tray to the housing. Check that the Tripod Mount aligns correctly with the Tray Insert restricting the housing from rotating on the tray.

Installing Housing Deflectors
Installing a Deflector in front of the camera’s built-in flash will block
the camera’s flash from going forward and lighting the particles in
the water; helping to reduce backscatter, it will also deflect the light
back toward the AF35 Sensor used to trigger the AF35 Flash.
Ikelite Housings
Deflectors are supplied with Ikelite housings, see housing
instructions for installation.
Non-Ikelite Housing Deflector Installation
Most Canon, Olympus and Sony digital camera housings have a flash
diffuser built on the housing to which the deflector can be attached.
(see drawing pg 13). If the housing does not have a flash diffuser
pick a spot on the outside of the housing in front of the camera’s
built-in flash to mount the deflector.
Deflector Kit includes:
1 strip of hook material, 1/4” wide x 6” long
1 strip of loop material, 2” wide x 3” long
1. The loop material (deflector) is white on one side and black on the
other side. The white side will go against the housing as it has loops
that will stick to the hook material once it is secured to the housing.
2. Using a piece of paper, cut a template to fit on the outside of the
housing in front of the camera’s built-in flash. Trace the template
on the loop material and cut it out. Test fit the loop material
(deflector) on the housing and trim as necessary.
3. Position the loop material (deflector) on the housing to determine
where to locate the 2 strips of hook material to secure the deflector
to the housing. Cut 2 strips of the hook material to fit on each side
or on the top and bottom of the deflector. Peel the adhesive
backing from the hook material strips and press them onto the
housing. The loop material (deflector) can now be secured or easily
removed from the housing.	12
