Ikelite Now Supports Mirrorless Cameras

Ikelite Announces New Line of Mirrorless Camera Housings or the Olympus E-M10, E-PL7 and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema

By UWPG News, November 25, 2015

Ikelite has entered the mirrorless housing category with three new housings for some of the most popular mirrorless cameras for underwater photo and video. These include the Olympus OM-D E-M10, PEN E-PL7 and the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. The new housings signal a trend that UWPG and the Bluewater Photo team is well aware of: mirrorless cameras are popular and getting even more popular.

The latest generation of mirrorless cameras have grown by leaps and bounds, with fast autofocus systems, a wide selection of lenses (for underwater photographers) and great image quality for their compact size. Almost everyone views a mirrorless camera is a worthy upgrade from a compact setup, while others are selling their bulky DSLR gear in favor of the much smaller mirrorless kits. Be sure to check out Bluewater Photo's Best Mirrorless Cameras for Underwater Photography.

These new Ikelite housings bring us everything we have come to expect from Ikelite DSLR housings, but in much smaller sizes.
