Using Non-Ikelite or Ikelite Non-DS Substrobes (Substrobe 50, 100A, 200, 400) with this Housing.

The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used with a Non-Ikelite or Non-DSSubstrobe. These Substrobes can be used in their manual mode utilizing any power settings provided on the Substrobe.

Using Ikelite DS Digital Strobes

For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend adding an external DS-digital strobe connected to the housing with a #4103.51 TTL Sync Cord and a SA-100 Ball/socket arm (Page #10). Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm, even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate backscatter. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.

Substrobe DS51

The Substrobe DS51covers the equivalent of a 28mm lens. It is the ideal choice when using only the camera lens with no accessory wide angle lenses attached.

Substrobe DS160

The Substrobe DS160 covers the equivalent of an 18mm lens or 100 degrees w/diffuser installed. It is the ideal choice when using accessory wide angle lenses greater than 28mm. It also features a 1.5second recycle time and 225flashes per full charge.

SA-100 Ball/Socket Arm The SA-100 system #4086.61 with its 1" diameter ball is ideal underwater. The #9571.3 extended stem mount allows easy attachment of the EV controller or flashlight mount, and drops right into the release handle. Aim does not change when changing the aim of the strobe. The arm system allows easy strobe placement from macro close-up to wide angle without changing aim of the Sensor. The complete system removes with a push of the handle button.

Please Read If Using an EV-Controller

The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash or non pre-flash. This camera uses pre-flash, thus the EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash position when used with this camera as a slave. If hard-wired to the housing, set the EV-Controller to Non pre-flash. 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: Do not attach the housing hotshoe to the camera when using the EV Manual Controller. If attached, the hotshoe will not allow the camera flash to fully extend.
