Ikelite Canon 80D Housing Features:
Lens Ports
It couldn't be faster to change ports than this system—just press the port on and snap the four locks closed.
* The DryLock and FourockL system ports cannot be used interchangeably.
TTL Exposure
This housings supports your choice of shooting all manual or adding TTL electronics depending on your application. Our new modular electronics system allows the housing to be updated with future strobe communications products as they become available. The flash bulkhead has been moved to the top of the case for improved cord routing and reduced strain. Reliable locking connectors between the hotshoe and bulkhead make it easy to install the optional TTL electronics or carry back up parts when traveling to remote locations.
You can still enjoy the fastest and most accurate TTL exposure on the market by adding the CT1K Canon TTL Kit and a compatible Ikelite DS strobe. Exposure compensation can be used added or subtracted in the camera.
* The camera's built-in flash cannot be used inside of the housing. External strobes must be capable of accepting an electrical sync cord connection.
Controls and Set-Up
Ergonomics of the housing is excellent. All buttons, dials and levers are readily available at your finger tips. The housing also includes a balanced aluminum tray with quick release handle for easy attachment and removal of strobes and video lights. The unique handle is curved slightly to fit the natural curvature of your hand, and features a soft over-mold which makes it a delight to hold. The complete tray and handle detaches quickly with the removal of two screws for travel. A new modular tray provides a 1/4-20 tripod mount and allows for the attachment of a second right-hand handle to the existing tray.

The included Supereye Viewfinder provides an enhanced view of the camera's optical viewfinder when viewed through a dive mask. The viewfinder removes quickly and easily for the attachment of an optional Straight Magnified Viewfinder or 45° Magnified Viewfinder.
