Ikelite Underwater Housing Canon R5 II
A full-featured and durable waterproof housing for Canon EOS R5 II full-frame mirrorless digital cameras. Suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and any application in or around the water. The housing provides full creative control over the camera. A dual-action lens release control makes it easy to use either EF or RF series lenses. Ikelite’s custom ABS-PC blend is lighter than aluminum yet strong enough for almost anything you want to throw at it.
LENS PORT REQUIRED (Sold Separately): A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation (sold separately).

Pre-Dive Checks
There is no greater assurance than being able to see your camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing. Ikelite’s signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Once the housing is closed, you can see the o-ring form a solid, waterproof seal.
Ikelite recommends using a pump with a gauge to pull a vacuum on the housing and check for leaks prior to entering the water.
Construction
Ikelite’s specially formulated ABS-PC blend housing is highly durable yet significantly lighter than aluminum. The light color keeps your camera cooler when shooting in warm, sunny environments.
Lens Support
Ikelite lens ports are the lightest on the market, yet robust and capable of standing up to rough surf.
Ikelite supports a wide variety of lenses. Most popular zoom lenses and select focus rings can be engaged using simple gearing that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using.
Lens ports and zoom gears are sold separately. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility information.
Wi-Fi Transfer
Use the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi feature to download photos to another device without removing the camera from the housing. The Wi-Fi feature is only usable above water within close proximity to the connected device.
Compatibility
Unless otherwise noted, this housing does not accommodate the use of add-on grips, battery grips, eyepieces, LCD covers, or other accessories.
Differences in lens and control placement prevent other camera models from being used in or adapted to this housing. Ikelite is not aware of any other models which may be used in or adapted to this housing.
