Product Information
The Ikelite 200FL Underwater TTL Housing for Nikon D810 DSLR Cameras is a polycarbonate blend underwater housing built specifically for the Nikon D810 DSLR, rated to 200 ft (60m) and fitted with Ikelite's built-in proprietary TTL circuitry that sends direct electrical impulses to trigger and adjust compatible strobe power instead of relying on a fiber-optic slave signal. It uses Ikelite's Four Lock (FL) port system, and a lens port is sold separately.
Who it is for
This housing is for Nikon D810 shooters who want TTL flash metering underwater without a fiber-optic slave strobe, since the built-in circuitry lets the camera control flash duration directly through the Ikelite bulkhead connector. All important camera functions are accessible through the housing; no controls are provided for the Metering selector, Diopter Adjustment Control, or Flash pop-up button.
Key details
The housing weighs 6 lb (2.7 kg) and measures 9.6 x 6.9 x 6.5 in (24 x 17 x 16.5 cm). Buoyancy is slightly negative in fresh water and varies depending on the lens and port chosen. Exposure adjustment controls on the back of the housing act as a remote control for compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes, giving plus/minus TTL exposure compensation and manual power settings in half-stop increments. An oversized zoom knob engages a universal zoom gear system, and two zoom sets are included for different lens diameters with no lens modification required. Four locking latches secure the port, and an aluminum 1/4-20 threaded top mount accepts accessories or an optional vacuum valve in place of the mount. Per the manufacturer, this model is discontinued and permanently out of production, replaced by the Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon D810 DSLR Cameras, which uses the DL port system; legacy FL ports can be adapted to it.
Compatibility and sizing
The housing is built for the Nikon D810 DSLR and requires a separately purchased Four Lock (FL) system lens port to shoot. The back-panel controls are designed to work as a remote for compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check an underwater housing's seal before a dive?
Before every dive, open the housing somewhere clean and dry, inspect and wipe the main o-ring and its groove, and close it with nothing trapped in the seal, because a single hair or grain of sand is enough to flood it. Confirm every latch is fully closed and that any vacuum or leak alarm reads correctly. Where you can, soak the sealed housing in a rinse tank or hang at the surface before descending, so a leak shows up before depth.
How do I care for housing o-rings?
Remove the main o-ring regularly with a plastic tool rather than anything metal, which can nick the groove, and clean both the o-ring and the groove with a lint-free cloth. Apply a thin film of the silicone grease the manufacturer specifies, since grease helps the o-ring seat and slide rather than sealing by itself, and a thick coat only collects grit. Replace o-rings on the schedule in the manual, or sooner if they look flattened, cut, or dry.
What do moisture alarms and desiccant packs do?
A moisture alarm is a sensor inside the housing that beeps or flashes when it detects water, giving you a chance to abort the dive before the camera is ruined. Desiccant packs absorb humidity in the air sealed inside the housing, which prevents the port fogging as you descend into cooler water. Neither replaces a proper seal check, since they provide early warning and fog control rather than leak prevention.
How deep can I take an underwater camera housing?
Only as deep as its rated depth, which the manufacturer sets and publishes in the specifications, and it should never be exceeded even briefly. Depth ratings assume a housing in good condition with intact seals, so worn o-rings or a damaged port reduce the real margin. If your diving might take you deeper, choose a housing rated comfortably beyond your planned maximum depth.
Can I use a phone housing for scuba diving?
Only if the housing is specifically rated for the depth you plan to dive, because many phone cases are splash- or snorkel-rated rather than scuba-rated. Touchscreens generally do not respond underwater, so a diving phone housing needs mechanical buttons or another control method. A phone's own water-resistance rating is not a substitute for a housing, and any housing still needs seal checks and o-ring care.
How do I rinse a camera housing after diving?
Soak the closed, sealed housing in fresh water and work every button and dial while it is submerged so salt does not dry inside the control shafts. Let it dry completely, especially around latches and seams, before you open it, since opening a wet housing drips water straight onto the camera. Avoid opening a housing on a wet, moving boat deck whenever you have the option to wait.
What should I do if my housing floods?
Get the housing out of the water and open it somewhere dry, then immediately remove the camera's battery and memory card, because leaving a battery in a wet camera does more damage than the water itself. Do not power the camera on to check whether it still works. Dry everything gently away from direct heat, get salt-water-exposed equipment to a repair technician promptly, and inspect the housing to find which seal failed before you dive it again.
Is the Ikelite 200FL housing for the Nikon D810 still in production?
No. The manufacturer lists this model as discontinued and permanently out of production. It has been replaced by the Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon D810 DSLR Cameras, which uses Ikelite's DL port system instead of the Four Lock (FL) system, though legacy FL ports can be adapted to the newer housing.
Does the Ikelite 200FL housing for the Nikon D810 come with a lens port?
No, a lens port is not included. This housing uses Ikelite's Four Lock (FL) system, and an FL-compatible dome or flat port must be purchased separately to shoot through the housing.
Can I use Ikelite DS-series strobes with this housing?
Yes. Controls on the back of the housing are designed to act as a remote control for compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes, giving access to plus/minus TTL exposure compensation and manual power settings in half-stop increments without removing your hand from the housing.
