Ikelite Olympus OM-D E-M10 Housing
DISCONTINUED.
Olympus E-M10 Camera:
The E-M10 uses the same CMOS 16mp sensor as both the E-M5 and E-M1 cameras. It steps up from the E-M5 with the improved TruPic VII processor found in the E-M1. It lacks from the E-M5 in image stabilization, something that is extremely useful topside, but not as much underwater. The E-M10 offers only a 3-Axis image stabilization versus the 5-axis.
The E-M10 has the same 1/250th* flash sync speed as the E-M5, less than the E-M1's 1/320th. One big change is the E-M10 is the first OM-D to have a built-in pop flash which is smaller than the accessory flash of the E-M1 and E-M5.

Ikelite Housing
Ikelite housings have always been high quality polycarbonate, and the new mirrorless line is no exception. Controls are put right at your fingertips for all important camera functions. Control symbols that are laser engraved into the back of the housing will never peel off or fade even with years of use.
With a system of this caliber, a tray with handle is essential for the attachment of lighting and comfortable handling in a wide variety of shooting scenarios. This housing includes a balanced aluminum tray with our signature quick release handle for easy attachment and removal of strobes and video lights. This unique handle is curved slightly to fit the nature curvature of your hand, and features a soft over-mold which makes it a delight to hold. The complete tray and handle detaches with the removal of two nuts for packing or to attach the optional Tray with Dual Handles.
Construction
Special polycarbonate blends allow us to create an extremely strong yet clear and lightweight enclosure. We believe there's no substitute for inspecting the actual o-ring seal once your housing is closed. Our signature clear construction lets you see that the housing is watertight and dry before you enter the water, and provides full view of the camera while you're diving. Unlike aluminum, polycarbonate is fundamentally corrosion-resistant for easy maintenance year after year.
Like every Ikelite product, our housings are designed, built, and tested in the USA. We use locally sourced, top-grade materials. Our housings are built by hand and individually tested for fit, function and waterproof integrity. The average assembly technician is a certified scuba diver and has over 16 years of experience building Ikelite products. We back our products with over 50 years of experience and the most accessible and responsive customer service staff in the dive industry.
This housing requires the addition of a compatible lens port for waterproof operation. Lens port not included.
