Product # 71480 - Housing and Base with Left-Hand Quick Release Handle
About the housing
This is a full featured and durable waterproof housing for Sony FX3 full-frame and FX30 APS-C sensor mirrorless digital cameras. Suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and any application in or around the water.
The housing provides full creative control over the camera. Our custom ABS-PC blend is lighter than aluminum yet strong enough for almost anything you want to throw at it.
An optional USB-C Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead allows you to charge the battery and offload your memory card without removing the camera from the housing. The Ikelite system can be expanded for any shooting needs including the addition of an optional M24 accessory port for an HDMI 2.0 external monitor.
LENS PORT REQUIRED (Sold Separately)
A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation (sold separately). Choose the correct port components on the lens you will be shooting.
Underwater cinema has never been more accessible
No other manufacturer makes professional functionality so accessible. Our housings are designed from the ground up to provide full camera control and connection for external strobe lighting out of the box. Advanced features including TTL lighting exposure and enhanced magnifying viewfinders are available as needed.
Our DL-series lens ports are optimized to be the lightest on the market with superb image quality. The materials chosen for our housings and lens ports are chosen to maximize durability and corrosion resistance while minimizing travel weight and cost.

PRE-DIVE CHECKS
There is no greater assurance than being able to see your camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing. Our signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Once the housing is closed you can see the o-ring form a solid, waterproof seal.
We recommend adding the optional Vacuum Kit with Gauge # 47011 to pull a vacuum on the housing and check for leaks prior to entering the water.
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.
LENS SUPPORT
Ikelite lens ports are the lightest on the market, yet robust and capable of standing up to rough surf.
We support a wide variety of lenses. Most popular zoom lenses and select focus rings can be engaged using simple gearing that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using.
Lens ports and zoom gears sold separately. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility information.
WI-FI TRANSFER
Use the camera's built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The Wi-Fi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.
COMPATIBILITY
Unless otherwise noted, this housing does not accommodate the use of add-on grips, battery grips, eyepieces, LCD covers, or other accessories.
Differences in lens and control placement prevent other camera models from being used in or adapted to this housing. We are not aware of any other models which may be used in or adapted to this housing.
