Ikelite iTTL adapter
Ikelite's Nikon iTTL conversion circuitry is now available in a detachable adapter. Take advantage of true Nikon TTL exposure to get perfect results every time
Ikelite #4301, #4302, iTTL adapters Ikelite #4301, #4302, iTTL adapters
Features:
- Same iTTL conversion circuitry as in Ikelite housings for Nikon dSLR cameras (1)
- TTL exposure for current Ikelite DS Substrobes when used with non-Ikelite housings
- Convenient switch allows for toggling between TTL and manual exposure
- Reliable Ikelite bulkhead connection at strobe end for attachment of single or dual sync cord (2) cord not included
- Compatible with many brands of underwater camera housings. Adapter is not intended for use with Ikelite housings.
- Delrin Nikonos-style connector on #4302 adapter prevents corrosion or seizing

Requirments:
- Nikon D-40, D-50, D-70, D-70S, D-80, D-200, or Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR camera and non-Ikelite housing
- 5-conductor TTL hotshoe and Ikelite- or Nikonos-style bulkhead in housing (3)
- Current model Ikelite "DS" Substrobe(s). See strobe circuitry requirements by serial number (on Ikelite website). Adapter is NOT compatible with non-Ikelite strobes.
- Ikelite #4103.51 or #4103.52 digital TTL sync cord for connection of Adapter to Ikelite Substrobe(s)

Notes:
(1) Exposure compensation is not provided through the adapter, but can be accessed via the camera's built-in menus
(2) Dual strobe use requires dual sync cord. Two strobes cannot be operated by independent adapters. Two Substrobes cannot be controlled by individual adapters even if the housing is equipped with two bulkhead connectors.
(3) Refer to housing specifications or contact manufacturer for connector style and wiring information

Strobes using the Nikonos TTL flash protocol do not operate correctly with D/iTTL and eTTL cameras, but most housing manufacturers bring all of the DSLR hot-shoe connections out to the Nikonos socket anyway. This is done so that you can use a camera-dedicated strobe in an underwater housing, but unfortunately, most strobes designed for land use have inadequate output and coverage for general (i.e. wide-angle) underwater photography. Users of these cameras must therefore use manual flash if they want to use conventional underwater strobes (fortunately not difficult if the camera provides a histogram display), and must somehow disconnect some of the wires leading from the hot shoe to the strobe. The Ikelite cables listed above leave out the connections which cause problems, allowing any Ikelite Substrobe to be used in manual mode. Strobes which offer variable power settings are recommended. The DS-50/51, DS-125 and DS-200 strobes can be used with the Ikelite EV controller to provide 10 output settings at 1/2-stop increments.

Ikelite wiring for sync cable
To use a normal Ikelite - Nikonos sync cord, or other Nikonos compatible strobe with the Nikonos socket on a DSLR housing; you can disconnect the hot-shoe contacts shown in the illustrations (left and right) or cover the contacts with insulating tape. Always leave provision to put the connections back as standard: you may later wish to upgrade to iTTL or eTTL compatible UW flash equipment.

Connector Spares
Notes: 1) Flexible vinyl push-on cable caps provided with earlier Ikelite cables (not current ones) should be discarded. Leaching of plasticiser from the cap to the O-ring may reduce the service life of the O-ring. Rigid caps and current Delrin caps shown below are free from this problem.
2) Ikelite O-rings are nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR). The correct lubricant is silicone grease.

* The O-ring 0118 has a smaller cross-section diameter than the P9 O-ring used on Japanese conectors (the O-ring groove diameter of Ikelite plugs is 9.35mm, whereas Sea & Sea plugs have an O-ring groove diameter of 9.1mm). Hence the Ikelite O-ring should only be used on Ikelite connectors. Using a Japanese O-ring on an Ikelite connector will make the plug stiff to insert, but poses no flooding risk.



Connectors and hole plugs
Note: The price of these OEM / service parts does not include technical support. Fitting of electrical connectors requires considerable soldering skill. All newly made waterproof assemblies require pressure testing before use. Cameras Underwater accepts no liability whatsoever for faulty assembly or installation.
See the Nikonos TTL article in the technical section for a description of the flash interface.
