Ikelite Sony a1 Underwater Camera Kit

The Ikelite Sony a1 Underwater Camera Kit is a full-frame mirrorless camera, 12-24mm lens, and underwater housing combo that’s waterproof down to 200 feet. Key features include:

50.1MP Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor
Up to 30 fps shooting; 8K 30p and 4K 120p video in 10-bit
Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens included
Small Ikelite housing waterproof down to 200 feet

Sony Alpha a1. Sony’s Alpha a1 is the heart of this kit. A 50.1 megapixel sensor and internal 8K capture should give you everything you need for most underwater situations. The included Sony NP-FZ100 battery should give you up to 430 shots per charge.

Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens. This Sony ultra-wide zoom boasts a fast autofocus system and an advanced optical formula. Its bright, constant f/2.8 aperture is great for shooting underwater, where it’s often darker than you might imagine. This rental includes the Ikelite DL 37mm Port Extension to accommodate this lens.

Ikelite Underwater Housing for Sony a1. Ikelite’s heavy-duty housings are contoured to the camera, completely corrosion-free and super durable. The transparent backing allows for a clear view of the main o-ring seal, port o-ring seal, and camera controls. We choose to rent Ikelite-branded housings because they give you access to almost every camera control underwater.

Ikelite Base with Dual Quick-Release Handles. This rental includes Ikelite’s Base with Dual Quick-Release Handles, which aids underwater maneuverability, is easy to attach and remove from the housing, and doesn’t interfere with the housing’s operation.

Underwater Housing Assembly Tips. Always assemble the housing first without a camera in it on dry land. Then slowly submerge the empty housing into a bathtub or a bucket, rotate the housing all around, and look for escaping air bubbles. This could be a sign that the housing is not assembled properly and water could be getting into the housing. Only after a few assemblies and dunks with no leaks do we recommend putting the camera in the housing. Again, slowly submerge the housing into a bathtub or a bucket, rotate the housing all around, and look for escaping air bubbles. As a courtesy to our gear-cleaning team, try to give the housing a quick freshwater rinse and dry off before sending it back if possible!

Underwater Shooting Tips. Practice using the camera and housing on dry land to get comfortable with adjusting settings before you get underwater. Get as close as possible to your subjects. Too much water between the lens and your subject reduces contrast and sharpness. Keep your shutter speed high—you’re often moving more than you realize when you’re not standing on the hard ground.

Q & A

What kind of accessories should I consider adding to my rental?

We have a plethora of compatible Ikelite accessories that have different uses depending on what you need.
Most Ikelite users like to add dive weights to help balance things while you’re down under, and you can find a few choices to pick between in the Recommended section of your screen.
These dive weights will require the Ikelite Trim Weight System for Underwater Housings to attach to your Ikelite housing.

Can I leave the camera installed when not in use?

Always recheck the o-ring after opening the housing.

Can I use other Sony E-mount lenses with this kit?

This package only includes the port extensions that are necessary for the 12-24mm f/2.8 lens. If you would like to use different lenses, we recommend you rent this housing along with a Sony a1 and the compatible lenses of your choosing.

How do I clean the Ikelite lens port and housing?

Please note, the housing should always be sealed before coming into contact with any water. It is also recommended that the camera be removed from the housing before cleaning. Do not use cleaning agents on the housing or lens port as incompatible chemicals can compromise the plastic or o-rings, resulting in leaks.
