Underwater Housing for OM System Tough TG-7, TG-6 and Ecko Strobes Wide Angle Kit
 

After launching of its Ecko Fiber and Ecko DS strobes, Ikelite released, in June, two kits bundling the fiber-optically triggered model with the OM System Tough TG-7 camera, housing, and various accessories—one bundling a single strobe and another bunding a pair of strobes.

The kits are perfect for shooters starting out with nothing, since the camera itself is included, but for owners of the OM System TG-7 or the Olympus TG-5 or Olympus TG-6 (all of which have the same basic functionality), Ikelite has introduced two new kits that bundle the Ecko Fiber with just housing and accessories.

The first kit, the “Wide Angle Kit” (above), comprises the housing with six-inch dome port, tray with dual handles, two Ecko Fiber strobes, strobe arms, and fiber-optic cords. The camera is not included and neither is the Olympus FCON-T02 fisheye lens for which this setup is specifically designed. Note that you’ll still get the benefits of the dome port even without the fisheye lens, but it’s highly recommended for a proper wide-angle perspective.

The second kit, the “Deluxe Kit” (below), comprises housing, tray with single handle, single Ecko Fiber strobe, strobe arm, and fiber-optic cord. The camera itself isn’t included. With this housing, you still have the option of adding the FCON-T02 lens and dome port later—and, of course, a second strobe if you want.

Available from Ikelite, the new “Wide Angle Kit” is retailing for $2,020, while the new “Deluxe Kit” costs $1,145.
