Product Information

The Ikelite 200FL Underwater TTL Housing for Canon EOS 60D DSLR Camera is a polycarbonate underwater enclosure built specifically for the Canon 60D, rated to 200 feet (60 m), and equipped with Ikelite's built-in TTL circuitry for through-the-lens flash exposure control with compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes.

Who it is for

This housing is for Canon 60D shooters who want direct, through-the-lens flash exposure control underwater rather than a basic waterproof box. The rear control layout lets a diver adjust TTL exposure compensation or switch to manual strobe power in half-stop increments without taking a hand off the housing, and nearly every important camera function on the 60D remains accessible once it is sealed inside, with the exception of the Depth-of-Field Preview button.

Key details

  • Depth rating: 200 ft (60 m)
  • Weight: 5.6 lb (2.5 kg)
  • Dimensions: 10 x 7 x 6.5 in (25 x 18 x 16 cm)
  • Buoyancy: slightly negative in fresh water
  • Construction: special polycarbonate blend, clear for full view of the camera and o-ring seal before entry
  • Warranty: 2 year limited warranty
  • Built-in TTL circuitry communicates directly with compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes, eliminating fiber optic slave-flash issues such as shutter lag and false triggering

Compatibility and sizing

The housing uses Ikelite's legacy Four Lock (FL) port system, which accepts a variety of dome and flat ports for zoom, macro, and wide angle lenses secured by four locking latches; a lens port is sold separately. Two universal zoom gear sets are included, one for lenses up to 2.8 inches in diameter and a second for lenses from 2.8 to 3 inches in diameter, and both install without modifying the lens.

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.

Does the Ikelite 200FL housing for the Canon 60D include a lens port?

No, a lens port is sold separately. The housing uses Ikelite's Four Lock (FL) port system, which accepts a variety of dome and flat ports for zoom, macro, and wide angle lenses, and the ports attach with four locking latches for quick changes between dives.

What strobes work with the Ikelite 200FL housing's rear controls?

The rear controls act as a remote for compatible Ikelite DS-series strobes. Built-in TTL circuitry sends direct electrical impulses to trigger the strobe and adjust its power, so you can access plus/minus TTL exposure compensation or set manual power in half-stop increments from the back of the housing.

What lens diameters do the included zoom gear sets fit?

The housing ships with two universal zoom gear sets: one for lenses up to 2.8 inches in diameter and a second for lenses from 2.8 to 3 inches in diameter. Both gear sets install easily with no modification to the lens and are engaged by the housing's oversized zoom knob.

Can I still access all my Canon 60D's camera controls inside this housing?

Yes, all important camera functions are accessible once the Canon 60D is sealed inside the 200FL housing, with one exception: there is no control provided for the Depth-of-Field Preview button.
