Ikelite Housing w/5510.11 and 8" Dome

[FyshEye]

I just purchased a 6801.7 housing for my Nikon D7000. It came with a 8" Dome and an extension that won't work for the Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye. I need to purchase a 5510.11 extension for the ultrawide lens.

I have been reading some conflicting information. I know I need that extension 5510.11 however what I am confused about, will I need these (Ikelite Locking Device r/ Superwide Port Bodies). Or will I be fine with the standard 4 locks on the housing? Will I need low-profile locks for the ext. and 8" dome port?

Any help and advice is much appreciated.

The port locking device come with 5510.11 package. It recommend to install it to Dome Port whenever you use with 5510.11.

If your housing is the 4 lock model then you do not need to install low profile locks as they are now standard.

You will need to use the additional rotational lock that comes with the extension.
