Ikelite 71069 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Digital Cameras
Product Details
LENS PORT REQUIRED (Sold Separately)
For the underwater photographer, the Nikon Z8 is one of the most exciting mirrorless cameras ever released. Nikon has taken all the photo and video performance of their flagship Z9 camera and shrunk them down into a package that is easy to travel and dive with.
The Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing is ideally suited to making the most out of this powerful Nikon camera. Every element is optimized for lightweight strength, reliability, and field serviceability. The Ikelite 200DL is the only housing that allows you to clearly see the camera and o-ring after assembling the system. Ikelite products are made in the USA and backed by a team of customer service staff who dive and use their equipment.
Add an optional Ikelite USB-C Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead to keep diving all week without opening and closing your housing.
Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing Lens Port Recommendations.
A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation (sold separately). Choose the correct port components on the lens you will be shooting.
Ikelite DL-series lens ports are optimized to be the lightest on the market with superb image quality. The materials chosen for Ikelite housings and lens ports are chosen to maximize durability and corrosion resistance while minimizing travel weight and cost.

Pre-Dive Checks
There is no greater assurance than being able to see your camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing. Ikelite’s signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Once the housing is closed you can see the o-ring form a solid, waterproof seal.
Ikelite recommends using their #47011 Vacuum Pump with Gauge to pull a vacuum on the housing and check for leaks prior to entering the water.
Construction
Ikelite’s specially formulated ABS-PC blend housing is highly durable yet significantly lighter than aluminium. The light colour keeps your camera cooler when shooting in warm, sunny environments.
Lens Support
Ikelite lens ports are the lightest on the market, yet robust and capable of standing up to rough surf.
Ikelite support a wide variety of lenses. Most popular zoom lenses and select focus rings can be engaged using simple gearing that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using.
Lens ports and zoom gears are sold separately. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility information.
Wi-Fi Transfer
Use the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The Wi-Fi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.
Compatibility
Unless otherwise noted, this housing does not accommodate the use of add-on grips, battery grips, eyepieces, LCD covers, or other accessories.
Differences in lens and control placement prevent other camera models from being used in or adapted to this housing. We are not aware of any other models which may be used in or adapted to this housing.
