Ikelite USB Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead for DL Housings

If you're looking for a way to save time and reduce stress during your next dive trip, this is your answer.

The USB Charging & Data Transfer Bulkhead installs in the M16 port of select 200DL Underwater Housings. The Hyper-Flex USB-C to USB-C Cable connects the port to your camera on the inside of your housing.

This allows you to attach a high quality (3.0 or above) USB-C cable [not included] from the outside of your housing to charge the camera and offload photos and video to your laptop. Simply replace the waterproof cap on the bulkhead when you're ready to go diving.

An optional Right Angle USB-C Adapter is required for use with select models. Refer to the Housing Compatibility section below for details.

Housing Compatibility

Charging has been confirmed with the manufacturer's standard battery. Some cameras including the Canon R5 prevent USB charging of off-brand batteries i.e. Promaster.

Compatible with the following 50DL and 200DL Underwater Housings:

** This camera requires the Right-Angle USB-C Adapter # 46009 due to limited clearance space inside of the housing. The Nikon Z8 camera separates charging and data transfer into two different USB ports. For this reason, the bulkhead can only be used for either charging OR data transfer, not both at the same time.

This bulkhead is not compatible with Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housings for DSLR cameras or 200DLM Underwater Housings due to spatial limitations. We have not confirmed compatibility with any housing models except as listed above.

Spatial Requirements

This bulkhead fits into an M16 threaded accessory port.

Housings must have a minimum of 3/4" free space between the USB-C port on the camera and the inside left of the housing (looking from the back).

Housings must have a maximum of 4" between the USB-C port on the camera and the inside bottom of the M16 port.

See product photos for indicators of spacing requirements.
