Ikelite has launched two distinct underwater housings for Canon's latest offering in the G series. The Ikelite TTL Housing for the Canon Powershot G16 (£549.99) features a large, simple dial directly above the camera's LCD monitor that acts as a remote control for Ikelite DS-series strobes. An aluminium tray with left-hand rubberised grip is included with the Ikelite TTL housing for the Canon G16, providing balance and comfortable hold. The TTL housing will be available in December. The Ikelite Fibre Optic Housing (£449.99) is a more compact offering geared toward owners of optical strobes. This housing is just as rugged as the TTL version, but shrunk way down with comfortable thumb grips replacing the tray and handle assembly. The Fibre Optic housing will be available later this month.

Press Release

Ikelite makes a choice of  Canon Powershot G16 housings

Ikelite is proud to offer two distinct options for Canon's latest offering in the G-series. Both housings are built by divers in the USA and depth rated to 60m.

TTL Housing for the Canon G16

Ikelite TTL circuitry has been a long-time favourite for lighting fast recycle time and seriously accurate exposure throughout the years. Now we are also bringing the convenience of exposure control right to your fingertips. Tweak your TTL exposure or take total manual control without taking your hand off of your housing. A large, simple dial directly above the camera's LCD viewfinder acts as a remote control for Ikelite DS-series strobes. Access plus/minus exposure compensation in TTL mode, plus 7 manual power settings in half-stop increments.

For a system of this calibre, a tray and handle is essential to good handling, balance underwater and attachment of a compatible TTL strobe. An aluminium tray with left-hand rubberized grip is included with the Ikelite TTL housing for the Canon G16, providing balance and comfortable hold, plus a quick release point for your external strobe. The complete handle assembly removes with just two screws for travelling or to add the digital tray with dual handles.

Fibre Optic Housing for the Canon G16

For those shooters looking for the most compact and durable housing possible, we are also offering a second, more compact Canon G16 housing geared towards owners of optical strobes. This housing is just as rugged as our TTL version, but shrunk way down with comfortable thumb grips replacing the tray and handle assembly. Drop-in camera loading and a visible o-ring seal make it easy to set up and go. Two built-in ports accept Ikelite-type fiber optic cables for the triggering of single or dual Manta optical TTL strobes.
