Re: Anyone use Ikelite w/Nikon D500?

Hi Ken

I have been using Ikelite housings for around 8 years now.

They are much cheaper than Nauticam/subal/seacam but still very reliable and functional. Out of the box the ergonomics are not good but they are easily customizable

The reason I like Ikelite is I can replace all orings myself (full service) without sending it to the dealer and the dealer will sell me pretty much what ever I ask for in regards to the housing. jean from Ikelite always replies to emails and trys to always offer a good solution.

To make my housing really shine I added a Nauticam 45 degree viewfinder, vacuum valve, XIT 404 control knobs, aquatica surveyor and a ULCS TR-SLBD tray.

Check out David Fleetham, Ken Keifer and Grant Thomas, they all use Ikelite gear.
