Ikelite Underwater Housing, Olympus Tough TG-5 Camera and Strobe Deluxe Kit

You can capture sharp, detailed photos and brilliant 4K video at depths as great as 200' beneath the surface, thanks to Ikelite's dedicated Underwater Housingfor your Olympus Tough TG-5 digital camera. Dual fiber-optic ports enable the connection of optional, external strobes for illumination and color correction. Ergonomic mechanical controls, including push-buttons, knurled knobs/dials, and levers, afford access to virtually all camera functions.

Built for durability, the enclosure is made in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It is white/light gray on the front, top, sides, and bottom, but clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera's rear controls. The built-in, flat glass lens port features a 3.0" diameter, and accepts optional wide-angle and macro conversion lenses to increase your field of view and enable extremely clear, detailed close-up shots, respectively. Optional color-correction filters can also be added to restore hues that get absorbed by the water.

Designed for the adventurous type, the red Tough TG-5 Digital Camera from Olympus is a durable point-and-shoot with a rugged physical construction and apt imaging capabilities. Utilizing a 12MP BSI CMOS sensor and TruePic VIII image processor, the TG-5 offers notable image clarity and low-light performance, to ISO 12800, along with fast 20 fps continuous shooting, 4K/30p video recording, and high-speed Full HD 1080p shooting at 120 fps. Balancing the imaging capabilities is a versatile 4x optical zoom lens, which spans a 25-100mm equivalent range, and has an f/2 maximum aperture to benefit working in low-light conditions. Additionally, the Variable Macro System also positions this lens for close-up shooting with subjects just one centimeter away for true macro photography.

Complementing the sensor and optical attributes of the TG-5 is a robust set of features for withstanding the elements, tracking your adventures, and sharing your images. The camera is rated for underwater use, as well as tested to withstand falls and crushing, and is hermetically sealed against dust and moisture for assured use in trying conditions. Making use of these stats, a Field Sensor System incorporates GPS, a manometer, compass, and a thermometer for recording the details of your environment and embedding this data onto your photos and movies. Using built-in Wi-Fi and the OI.Track app, the recording log data and the imagery can be shared to a mobile device for compositing and sharing online.

The Ikelite Digital SubStrobe DS-51 was created specifically for use with digital cameras because of their use of preflash metering, but it is completely compatible with all film cameras and film camera housings.

The DS-51 offers 50 watt-seconds of power in a compact size with coverage adequate for lenses as wide as 28 mm, or add the included diffuser for wider coverage and softer lighting. Combine multiple strobes to cover very wide angle lenses with minimal illumination of particles suspended in the water.

The DS-51 operates TTL when connected by an appropriate sync cord to some Ikelite housings. Alternatively, the DS51 provides a manual exposure mode with six manual power settings in one-half f-stop increments for precise illumination of subjects.

For even more precise control the DS-51 can be connected to The Manual Controller. This provides ten power settings in half/stop increments. The Manual controller can operate as a wireless sensor triggered by another strobe, or it can be connected by one of the Ikelite sync cords.

Benefit from improved balance and handling, while gaining an attachment point for a lighting arm, with this Action Tray II with Left Handle for Ikelite Action, ULTRAcompact, and compact underwater camera housings. The tray is designed to prevent the rotation of an Action housing, so your equipment stays right where you want it as you're composing and shooting.

Every ounce matters in travel, so you'll appreciate the fact that this model is lighter in weight than Ikelite's standard tray and handle. Additionally, the grip placement on the Action Tray II is closer to the housing than it is on the standard version, allowing for easier, more comfortable use. Add the optional Action Tray II Extension with Right Handle to enable the connection of a second lighting arm for a strobe, focus light, or video light.

Built for durability, the tray is constructed from an aluminum alloy that has been hard anodized for exceptional resistance to corrosion. The grip is made from aluminum and ABS plastic, and features a comfortable, non-slip rubberized exterior to help you maintain a solid hold, even when wearing diving gloves.

Using this Compact 1" Ball Arm for Quick Release Handle from Ikelite, you can add an optional strobe or constant light source to your underwater photography or video system. The arm segment, measuring 7" long, connects to a QR mount that enables easy attachment to the top of the quick-release handles on Ikelite's trays for camera housings. In addition to a standard ball clamp, this package includes a second clamp with an auxiliary mount to allow for the attachment of a focus light, or a top handle if you're using two arms.

The ball mounts measure 1" in diameter and work with all standard 1" ball arms and components, including those from Ikelite, Aquatica TLC, Sea & Sea, Inon, Ultralight, and Nauticam. The ball clamps enable attachment to the QR mount at the bottom of the arm and the required strobe or video light mount at the top. Additional extensions and clamps are available separately and allow for different lighting angles and effects.

The slotted design of the arm extension allows for the connection of lightweight accessories along its length via the addition of a Sliding Ball Mount. To prevent slipping and enable a better hold with less force, the ball mounts have grooves and O-rings. The clamps can be finger-tightened underwater and allow you to adjust the position of your lighting without loosening them. The arm and balls are made of aluminum that has been treated with a hard, type III anodized finish for long-lasting resistance to corrosion.

Use the RC1 Olympus and Panasonic TTL Receiver for DS Strobes for true Olympus or Panasonic LUMIX TTL strobe exposure via fiber optic connection with your compatible Ikelite DS strobe. The receiver plugs into the strobe, and accepts the fiber optic cable from the underwater camera housing. TTL capability will provide accurate and consistent performance, but the setup can also easily be switched to manual control and back.

This Coiled Fiber Optic Cable from Ikelite connects an external strobe flash to an underwater camera housing with a Sea&Sea or Olympus type fiber optic connection. Multi-core construction allows for optimal signal transmission, and a molded covering provides built-in strain relief, minimizing the risk of damage to the cable's core when it is bent. Additionally, the coiling of the cable's middle section enables flexible length and reduces the likelihood of snagging when the cable is slack.

The LI-92B Rechargeable Lithium‑Ion Battery from Olympus is compatible with several of their digital cameras. It features 3.6V of output power, a capacity of 1350mAh, and a rating of 4.9Wh. It can be recharged externally with the optional UC‑90 charger, or in-camera via the compact F‑2AC Adapter, which is supplied with the camera, or the optional F‑3AC Adapter. The battery is included with the camera and offered here as a spare or replacement part.

The 26" CB-USB8 Cable from Olympus transfers data between your camera and computer without having to remove the memory card. The cable is designed for the following series:

X series
SH series
SZ series
TG series

Charge your camera from a wall socket with this replacement F-5AC Adapterfrom Olympus which features a standard North American plug and a female USB port.
