Product Information
The Ikelite DLM Adapter for Modular 8 inch Dome (SKU 5516.80) is a port adapter that attaches a Modular 8-inch Dome to any Ikelite housing featuring the DLM port system, giving underwater photographers sharper corner-to-corner wide-angle images and easier split shots.
Who it is for
This adapter is built for Ikelite housing owners who want to shoot super wide-angle and split shot (half-in, half-out of the water) images. Because the dome must sit very close to the front of the housing for optimal image quality, it suits photographers who are comfortable shooting a fixed focal length lens rather than zooming during the dive.
Key details
- Connects a Modular 8-inch Dome to any Ikelite housing with the DLM port system.
- The 8-inch dome is injection molded from optical grade acrylic and is sold separately.
- The dome's close proximity to the housing precludes use of a lens's zoom function; lenses must be used at a fixed focal length.
Compatibility and sizing
Compatible with any Ikelite housing featuring the DLM port system. The Modular 8-inch Dome itself is sold separately and is required to complete the port setup.
What's in the box
- Extension piece
- O-ring #0132.41, pre-installed

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this adapter include the Modular 8-inch Dome?
No, the Modular 8-inch Dome is sold separately. This adapter only provides the connection between the dome and any Ikelite housing featuring the DLM port system, along with the extension piece, O-ring, thumbscrews, and lubricant needed to mount it.
Can I use a zoom lens with this dome adapter?
No. Because the dome must sit very close to the front of the housing to deliver the best super wide-angle image quality, the port's proximity precludes use of a lens's zoom function. Lenses must be used at a fixed focal length with this adapter.
Which Ikelite housings work with this adapter?
This adapter works with any Ikelite housing that features the DLM port system. It is designed specifically to connect the Modular 8-inch Dome to those DLM-equipped housings, so check that your housing uses the DLM port system before ordering.
What hardware comes with the DLM Adapter for the 8-inch dome?
It ships with an extension piece, a pre-installed O-ring (#0132.41), a pre-installed set of three thumbscrews (#9249.6), and a 1cc tube of silicone lubricant for maintaining the O-ring seal.
