Note: This housing has a fixed port which cannot be switched out for another port. If you'd like to be able to switch ports for different lenses, we recommend to check out the #69123 Housing or #69123-DLX Deluxe Version Housing (link above).
If you're looking for the ultimate point-and-shoot experience underwater, it doesn't get any better than the 200FP/T Underwater Housing for Sony Alpha a6700 with built-in TTL electronics.
We've set up the 200FP/T Underwater Housing for Sony Alpha a6700 exactly the way we would use it with TTL Circuitry, Dual Tray with Dual Handles, Trigger Extensions, Vacuum System, and a spare O-Ring.
This housing is specifically designed to accommodate the Sony a6700 camera with the ultra-compact Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens attached. The lens' Power Zoom (PZ) capabilities allow you to set up the camera with drop-in loading. The built-in glass flat port has 67mm threads on the front for the attachment of external wet lenses. A compatible 67mm to bayonet adapter (not included) is recommended when attaching heavier wide angle lenses.
Built-in TTL electronics provide the most accurate and reliable exposure possible when combined with compatible Ikelite DS strobe(s).
Our custom ABS-PC blend is lighter than aluminum yet strong enough for almost anything you want to throw at it. The included Vacuum System allows you to check for leaks prior to entering the water.
Sony's powerful enthusiast-level mirrorless camera
CONSTRUCTION
Our specially formulated ABS-PC blend housing is highly durable yet significantly lighter than aluminium. The light colour keeps your camera cooler when shooting in warm, sunny environments.
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Faster, more accurate, and more reliable than fiber optic TTL triggers
- Always ready when you are - no batteries required
- Supports flash exposure (EV) compensation set in the camera
- Supports rear curtain sync
- Improves strobe battery life and recycle time.
About Sony TTL
TTL or "Thru-the-Lens" flash metering means the camera evaluates the scene and communicates exposure information directly to the compatible flash. The camera automatically adjusts the power output of the external flash so you don't have to.
TTL exposure is faster and usually more accurate than setting the flash output manually. TTL can be the difference between getting a properly exposed image or not, especially when shooting fast-moving subjects and subjects that are moving towards or away from you. TTL is by far the easiest way to shoot perfectly exposed macro photography and allows you to concentrate on focus and framing.
Some people think TTL is only good for macro... but they're wrong! When shooting wide angle or close focus wide angle (CFWA), set your camera to properly expose the background and let the DL2 adjust your strobe intensity for proper exposure of the foreground.
Ikelite was the first company to introduce TTL for underwater strobes with Sony DSLR and mirrorless digital cameras, and continues to set the standard for accuracy of Sony TTL flash protocol.
Electrical Flash Triggering
Connecting an electrical sync cord is as quick and easy as screwing in a light bulb. Electrical triggering supports greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and less missed flashes as compared to fiber optic triggering. Use of electrical TTL also dramatically increases strobe battery life.
