Waterproof housing Ikelite for NIKON Z8

DL200 (DRY LOCK) Underwater Housing for Nikon Z8 – Ergonomics and Security

The DL200 housing offers excellent handling and optimal security for underwater photography. Its transparent Lexan rear door allows you to check the proper positioning of the camera and controls.

Its gray color reflects sunlight, reducing the risk of overheating, especially during 4K recording. Compared to black or transparent housings, the gray color enhances contrast for better LCD screen visibility.
