Ikelite B14 Ikelite ICS-5 Bulkhead with M14 Threads
Starting January 1, 2025, Ikelite has transitioned to an improved bulkhead and hotshoe connector system. Read about the advantages of the new system and how to upgrade legacy housings.
Key Features
- Supports TTL or manual strobe exposure, depending on the combination of camera system and accessories.
- Compatible with a variety of camera systems and strobes for optimal underwater photography performance.
- Improved bulkhead for faster and more reliable strobe triggering.
TTL Strobe Exposure
This bulkhead is capable of providing TTL communication when used with a compatible system. TTL (Thru-the-Lens) flash metering ensures accurate exposure by adjusting the external flash power automatically based on the scene evaluated by the camera. TTL exposure is ideal for macro photography and fast-moving subjects, providing perfect exposure without manual adjustments.
TTL requires a compatible camera, TTL hotshoe, DS Link TTL Converter, current model Ikelite DS series strobes, and an Ikelite-to-Ikelite sync cord.
Ikelite ICS-5 Bulkhead & Plug
The Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead offers a more robust and reliable alternative to the Nikonos V bulkhead. It features larger, gold-plated contacts and a half-moon indexing design for easier and correct connection attachment. The ICS-5 system is widely regarded as one of the most reliable waterproof connections for electrical signal transmission.
Housing Compatibility
Compatible with select housings by Nauticam and other manufacturers with a spare M14 threaded accessory port. Hotshoe compatibility depends on camera manufacturer, cable direction preference, and whether a TTL converter is used. Always test the housing for water pressure and seal tightness after installation.
Strobe Compatibility
This bulkhead is recommended for use with newer sync cords featuring black hard anodized plug fittings (starting with "45"). Avoid using older nickel-plated brass fittings to prevent damage to the threads.
