Housing for Nikon P6000 Digital Camera
For the most discerning of underwater photographers we offer a full-featured yet affordable camera housing for the Nikon Coolpix P6000 digital camera. This durable housing is molded of crystal clear polycarbonate for corrosion free operation up to a depth of 200ft (60m).
Every camera function is accessible in this very sophisticated housing installation. Housing measures 7" wide (10" wide with the removable handle bar attached), 6" high, and 6" deep.
The housing comes standard with an optical grade glass flat port which allows full use of the camera's zoom range without vignetting. The optional Ikelite W-20 and other 67mm threaded external accessory lenses attach directly to the front of the housing's lens port and provide increased angle of coverage. Zooming the camera three stops is recommended to eliminate vignetting when the W-20 lens is attached.
The included tray and release handle offers balance and exceptional handling while providing a convenient attachment point for optional Substrobe mounting arms. Strobe arms can be released easily at the touch of a button whether above or below water. The optional Dual Handle and Tray assembly #9523.32 provides even greater stability and allows for the addition of a second Substrobe.
A diffuser is included to improve lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. We recommend adding an external strobe for best results. Read on for more information on lighting options.
Special conversion circuitry built in to the housing provides true Nikon iTTL exposure connected to any current model Ikelite DS Substrobe. The camera controls the Substrobe's output resulting in effortlessly perfect exposure.
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm, even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. We recommend convenient and affordable strobe with sync cord packages that provide everything you need to take advantage of "automatic" TTL exposure.
All current model strobes are fully compatible with this TTL system. Existing DS substrobes may require circuitry updates.
Special sync cords are available to connect non-Ikelite strobes from Nikonos, Inon, and Sea & Sea. Non-Ikelite strobes can be used in manual modes only.
Strobes with a slave feature can be triggered by the camera's flash. An included flash deflector prevents the camera's flash from creating backscatter in the image.
The optional #9571.3 features a 1" (2.5cm) ball for attachment to the top of the release handle. This provides a mounting point for Ultralight, TLC, and other non-Ikelite arm systems.
