Ikelite Underwater Housing for Olympus Tough TG-6 with Dome Port for FCON-T02 Fisheye
‹ BackDescription
Underwater Housing for OM System TG-7, Olympus Tough TG-6 with Dome Port for FCON-T02 Fisheye
A full featured and durable waterproof housing for OM System TG-7** and Olympus Tough TG-6 cameras. If you're looking to shoot everything from split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) to wide angle fisheye to macro on the same dive then this housing is for you. Recommended for use in conjunction with the FCON-T02 Fisheye Lens (sold separately). Suitable for scuba, snorkel, surf, pool, and any application in or around the water.
Deeper and More Durable
Enjoy full control of your camera to depths of up to 60 meters. The housing for TG-7, TG-6, and TG-5 cameras is built to last with a rugged design and field serviceable controls.
The Best Lens Support
The included dome port can be used with or without the optional FCON-T02 Fisheye Conversion Lens, which is the lightest and easiest way to go from full fisheye to close up macro on the same dive. A dome makes it significantly easier to shoot split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) and provides a wider field of view when underwater compared to a flat port. If your needs change, the dome can easily be changed over to the optional Flat Port with 67mm Threads at a later time.
Bright, Bold Photos
Pair your housing with the Ecko Fiber or RC165 strobe for instant gratification with automated RC TTL flash exposure.

Constructions
The specially formulated ABS-PC blend housing is highly durable yet lightweight for travel. The light color keeps your camera cooler when shooting in warm, sunny environments.
Lens support
The FCON-T02 Circular Fisheye Converter (not included) provides a circular fisheye perspective when the camera is set to 24mm, and diagonal fisheye capabilities when the camera is zoomed. The resulting image quality is spectacular; comparable in coverage to a Canon or Nikon 8-15mm Fisheye lens on a full frame DSLR body. It's the perfect combination for ultra wide angle, close focus wide angle, and over-under underwater photography.
The optical grade acrylic dome provides super sharp and bright imaging while being lightweight for handling and travel.
This dome port cannot be removed and replaced underwater. The dome port may be used with or without lens attached. Without the lens attached some reflections may be present when shooting towards a bright light source (like the sun).
This housing does not support the use of the FCON-T01 Fisheye Lens which is too large in diameter to fit in the opening of the lens port.
The good news is that you aren't limited to a fisheye or ultra wide-angle perspective. The camera may be zoomed while the lens is attached and can focus up to a 30mm macro equivalent underwater.
The dome port precludes the attachment of external lenses or color filters. This housing is not compatible with the FCON-T01 Fisheye Lens.
Flash options
Due to the position of the camera's flash in relation to its lens, the built-in flash is not suitable to illuminate photos under water. For the best color and clarity, we recommend adding a filter, strobe, or constant-on light. The built-in flash may be used to trigger external strobes via fiber optic sync cord. Two ports are provided for the connection of up to two fiber optic cords.
Any current model Ikelite DS strobe can be triggered fiber optically with true automatic Olympus TTL exposure using the RC1 TTL Receiver # 4412 and Fiber Optic Cord # 4501.
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. We are not aware of any other models which may be used in or adapted to this housing.
