Help me to select Ikelite set up...

22 posts
  1. Unfortunately, I can't, John. I only have standard 6" ports - the non-modular ones. Hopefully, someone with the modular ports will answer, or maybe you could start a separate thread just to ask that question.

  2. Use a small piece of line from your SMBs spool to tie the diffusors to the strobes. Ikelite have made some small holes in the diffusors and strobes for that purpose.

     

    The ports should be screwed in the dome so the inside of the dome is slightly below the port. I think you should have the same amount of force with the extenders. And don't forget a small amount of lube on the o-rings that suffer from friction (strobe cables, port body to extension and dome, housing to 10,5mm port body with bayonet) and in my opinon no lube on the o-rings that have the force right on the o-rings (strobe to battery, housing back to housing, housing to port body without bayonet)

     

    AND DON'T DIVE WITH THE CAMERA IN THE HOUSING AT THE FIRST DIVE!!! Too many have had their housings flooded on hte first dive because thay dind't assemble the housing correct the first times... Put a large stone or some lead wrapped in a towel in the housing instead.

     

    Happy diving.
