Ikelite Sony a7S III Underwater Camera Kit

The Ikelite Sony a7S III Underwater Camera Kit is a full-frame mirrorless camera, 12-24mm GM lens, and underwater housing combo that’s waterproof down to 200 feet. Key features include:

12MP full-frame Exmor sensor, BIONZ XR processor
UHD 4K 120p video; 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording
Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens included
Small Ikelite housing waterproof down to 200 feet

Sony Alpha a7S III. Sony’s Alpha a7s III is the heart of this kit. A impressive ISO range, and internal 4K capture should give you everything you need for most underwater situations. The included Sony NP-FZ1000 battery should give you up to 650 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 a Ikelite DL 37mm Port Extension to accommodate this lens.

Ikelite Underwater Housing for Sony. 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.

Vacuum Pump with Gauge. This rental includes Ikelite’s Hand Pump with Gauge, which lets you check for leaks and create a vacuum seal inside the camera housing to confirm that it’s watertight.

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 use other Sony E-mount lenses with this kit?

This package only includes the port extensions that are necessary for the 12-24mm f2.8 GM lens. If you would like to different lenses, we recommend you rent this housing along with the compatible lenses of your choosing.

Can I leave the camera installed when not in use?

No. You should always remove the A7S III for travel and storage. For best performance, store the camera and Ikelite housing in a shaded place when not in use to protect from overheating.
Always recheck the o-ring after opening the housing.

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.
