Ikelite Underwater Housing for Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II Camera

Special request usually ships in 7 to 14 days, depending on availability This small and lightweight housing provides full operation of the camera up to depths of 200 feet (60 meters). Large, easily accessible controls are provided for all camera functions including the front and rear dials. Rear controls are marked with easy-to-see laser-engraved symbols which never fade or fall off. A new, ultra-sensitive shutter lever and front rubberized grip make the system a pleasure to hold and shoot with or without an optional tray and handle. The front-loading camera mounting system makes installation and removal easy. The camera mounting plate allows easy access to the battery and memory card and features a standard 1/4-20 mounting point for attachment to a tripod. Zoom and macro close-up: The glass lens port has been optimized for full use of the camera's zoom range. The front of the lens port is 67mm threaded for direct attachment of external wide-angle and macro lenses. This port is as close as possible to the camera's lens for the best image quality and minimal vignetting (dark shadows in the corners of the image). Vignetting can be eliminated by cropping the photo in post-production. The INON UWL-H100 exhibits the least vignetting and best clarity with this model among popular wet lenses currently available on the market. Color correction and external lighting: Light is absorbed as it travels through even short distances underwater, making colors appear dull or monochromatic. To preserve the natural colors of your subject, it's important to stay within arm's reach—no more than 3-4 feet (1 meter) away. Additional color correction and clarity can be obtained by adding a color filter or external light. The lens port of the housing accepts their 39-inch diameter color filters, which are available for both tropical blue water and green water settings. A color filter reduces the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor, so they are most effective in sunny conditions up to approximately 80 feet (24 meters). A flash or constant-on light is necessary for close-up, night dives, and deep depths. An external light also enhances colors in sunny conditions. External lights are typically not used with color filters, as the combination can produce overly red or purple tones. The camera's flash position makes it unusable for underwater lighting, but it can be used to trigger an external strobe. Two ports are provided for connecting up to two fiber-optically triggered underwater strobes. Alternatively, a bright constant-on video light can be used. A constant-on light is not as bright as a strobe flash but offers added versatility for focus assist and improved colors when shooting video. Two 1/4-20 threaded mounting points are included at the bottom of the housing for attaching a tray and handle system. Handles improve ergonomics underwater and serve as the foundation for your lighting mounts. Brighter is better underwater: a high-quality lighting system can produce magazine-quality results with almost any compact camera system. Durability and corrosion-free performance: Their new ABS-PC blend provides strength and corrosion-free performance year after year with minimal maintenance. The specially formulated color deflects the sun to keep your camera cooler longer. Compared to black or clear housings, the light gray color offers superior contrast for better viewing of the camera, LCD screen, and o-ring seal. The unique rear seal design prevents accidental twisting or stretching of the o-ring, making assembly simple and reliable. They have eliminated the need for an o-ring groove or channel that can trap sand, dirt, or debris. Two double-passivated stainless steel locking lid snaps are easy to use and virtually unbreakable. The clear back allows you to see the o-ring forming a solid, watertight seal as it closes. Ikelite products are designed, built, and tested in the USA. They use high-quality locally sourced materials. Their housings are handcrafted and individually tested for fit and function. Every unit is water pressure tested to 200 feet (60 meters). They back their products with over 50 years of experience and the best reputation for service in the dive industry. Camera compatibility: Differences in camera size and lens placement prevent the original Canon PowerShot G7X from operating in this housing. For the same reason, the housing for the Canon PowerShot G7X cannot be modified or adapted to fit the newer Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II.
