ideal choice when using only the camera lens with no accessory
wide angle lenses attached.

The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used
with a Non-Ikelite or Non-DS Substrobe. These Substrobes can be
used in their manual mode utilizing any power settings provided

For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend
adding an external DS-digital strobe connected to the housing with
a #4103.51 TTL Sync Cord and a SA-100 Ball/socket arm ((PPaaggee #
#1111)).
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm,
even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from
the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the
illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate
backscatter. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the
DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller
provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.

A flash deflector (supplied) can be installed over the back of the
housing port next to the housing exterior. The deflector will
deflect the camera flash when using an EV Manual Controller.
The deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV
Controller which controls the external strobe output. To attach,
push the deflector over the back of the housing port, until the
deflector clips into position, blocking the camera flash.
N
NO
OTTEE:: The deflector is nnoott needed when an Ikelite DS digital
strobe is connected (hard-wired) directly to the housing
(recommended).

For the best photographic results underwater, we recommend
using Ikelite External Strobes. This housing has Conversion
Circuitry built into the housing back, eliminating the need for
an EV Controller. The Conversion Circuitry provides real Canon
TTL flash when used with an Ikelite DS Digital substrobe(s) and
the #4103.51 single or #4103.52 dual sync cord, connected
directly to the housing.
See ppaaggee 1133
for DS Substrobe compatibility with the Conversion
Circuitry.

The DS161 Movie Substrobe combines all of the functionality of our
renowned DS160 with a powerful 500 lumen LED video light.
Three super-bright LEDs are arranged behind a special optical
element to provide 45 degrees angle of coverage free of hotspots.
