Ikelite DC3 6 Inch Dome For Compact Housings (6403)

Technical Information Download

• Want to shoot split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) with your compact digital system?
• Wet lenses will increase your angle of view but create a difficult double water line when used at the surface.
• The answer is a 6 inch diameter dry dome which lengthens and smoothes the waterline yet remains compact and lightweight for travel.
• Underwater, the dry dome increases your angle of coverage significantly compared to a flat port.
• The dome exhibits much less edge distortion than an external wet wide angle lens.
• Underwater, the dome corrects for refraction to provide the full wide field of view.
• That is substantially wider than a flat port, which magnifies the image 1.33x and reduces the field of view.
• Approximately 3/4 of the cameras zoom range is usable with the dome installed.
• At the surface, the large dry dome gives you greater control to get a clean, smooth water line when shooting split shots (half-in, half-out of the water).
• This type of shot can be impossible to get with a flat port, and extremely difficult with a wet lens or dome where you’re fighting double water lines.
• The dome replaces the standard port on the housing. Simply unthread the standard flat port and thread in the DC3 Dome unit.
• The included dome shade reduces reflections, protects the dome, and allows you to set the housing down on its face for easy assembly and disassembly.
