Ikelite Underwater Video system with the housing, light, two cameras and accessories.

[Divers Incorporated]

I am looking to sell an Ikelite Underwater Video system with the housing, light, two cameras and accessories. This system has been used since 2006 and works great. Since it is used, it has some quirks that are listed as each item is described below. I have used this system for a number of years both above water and below and this housing has traveled around the world on underwater adventures. I used it for underwater video and underwater stills and have just recently bought a digital SLR to replace it. I will be happy to show you how to put this camera together and how to dive with it if you are local to Southeastern Michigan or Northwestern Ohio.

This package includes

Ikelite Digital Housing 6038.37 with internal tray - Rebuilt by Ikelite in April 2009 - Molded of clear polycarbonate to provide seamless construction and corrosion proof performance. This “Clearly Superior” design provides full view of the camcorder, control functions, and back "O" ring seal for assurance the system is safe. Maximum operating depth is 200 feet (60 m). The Base removes instantly with a unique toggle clamp for traveling. The handle assembly detaches from the housing by removal of just two nuts for packing. Tray Handle is set up for two lights. One of them is not included in the sale since I would like to keep it for diving but I am leaving the mount for both sides. (if you want the second light we can negotiate that) The housing has scratches and dings from use.. cosmetically it is worn, mechanically it is sound.

• Inon 20mm Wide angle lens - This lens allows you to capture more of the scene for wide angle shots. Enjoy increased clarity and enhanced color that result from widening your camera lens' angle of coverage and getting closer to your subject. This lens has a bungee "bayonet" system that allowed me to quickly change from wide angle to macro while on the same dive. The result is a very functional system that is not cosmetically correct. There are scratches on the lens and the threads are stripped in the housing. Both can be replaced at the factory if needed.
• Blue Water Filter for Inon Lens - Filter to color correct when using the wide angle in the tropical ocean
• Green Water Filter for Inon Lens - Filter to color correct when using the wide angle in the green water lakes and cooler oceans
• (2) Spare main oring - One New, One Used

Sony DCR DVD505 Video Camera with some cosmetic Blemishes but functions well. Used on the surface and as a back up.

Sony DCR DVD505 Video Camera with a touch screen that is intermittent in its function... does not affect recording - I use this one for the underwater housing since it works well for what is accessible in the housing.

Do you think this would be a good first u/w video set-up for a guy looking to make the change from shooting u/w stills?

[Divers Incorporated]

yes i do... that is why i got it...

Rich, Can you take Pic of scratches on the PORT and can you tell me more about the stripped threads? Is it usable as is?

Also watch your White Star Night Dive June 6, 2009, where did you get music?

Cheers,
Roger
