Ikelite Announces Updated Cases for Canon EOS R6 and R6 II

Ikelite has revealed a updated version of its housing give Canon EOS R6 which can also contain new ones Canon EOS R6 Mark II. The successor model has a higher resolution 24.2MP sensor and can shoot continuously up to 12fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 40fps with the electronic shutter. The Mark II is no slouch in the video realm either, with its ability to capture 4K/60p 10-bit 4:2:2 video that is oversampled from the entire sensor width—that is, minus the small crop of the sensor. Mark I

Curiously, Canon decided to move the power switch from left to right of the camera, and in the same place as the on/off switch before, there’s a new switch to toggle between stills and videos. However, this odd decision hasn’t stopped Ikelite from creating a case that works with both models—the case includes a pair of camera mounts for use with the Mark I or Mark II.

Other case features are typical of Ikelite: ABS body with transparent back; Dry Lock port system (DL); oversized joystick for shutter release and autofocus; port M16; and manually activate the strobe light via the Ikelite baffle. With option DL5 DS . Link TTL Converteryou can get TTL exposure using one or two compatible Ikelite DS series wardrobes.

Check before diving

There’s nothing more secure than being able to see your camera and o-ring through the back of the case. Our signature open-groove design hangs the rear o-ring in a natural position, making it easier to maintain and more reliable than tying the o-ring to the groove. When the case is closed, you can see the o-ring forming a sturdy, waterproof gasket.

We recommend using a metered pump to vacuum the housing and check for leaks before putting it in the water.

Construct

Our specially formulated ABS-PC composite housing is highly durable yet significantly lighter than aluminum. Bright colors keep your camera cooler when shooting in warm sunny environments.

Lens support

Ikelite lens ports are the lightest on the market, yet sturdy and capable of withstanding rough ocean waves.

We support a wide range of lenses. Most popular zoom lenses and selective focus rings can be used using simple gears that put adjustments at your fingertips. The zoom and focus gears vary depending on the type of lens you are using.

Lens port and zoom gear sold separately. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility information.

Wi-Fi transmission

Use the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the case. The Wi-Fi feature is only available on water within close proximity of the connected device.
