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

Following the launch of its Ecko Fiber and Ecko DS strobes, Ikelite has launched two new kits bundling the fiber-optically triggered model. The kits combine the OM System Tough TG-7 camera, housing, one or two strobes, and various accessories.

The “Wide Angle Kit” (see above) comprises the camera, housing with dome port, Olympus FCON-T02 fisheye lens, tray with dual handles, two Ecko Fiber strobes, strobe arms, and fiber-optic cords—everything you need to shoot a large variety of subjects, from macro to wide angle. The six-inch dome even makes it possible to shoot splits.

The “Deluxe Kit” (see below) consists of the camera, housing, tray with single handle, Ecko Fiber strobe, strobe arm, and fiber-optic cord. With this housing, Ikelite gives you the option of adding the FCON-T02 lens and dome port later—and, of course, a second strobe if desired.

Available from Ikelite, the “Wide Angle Kit” currently retails for $2,825, while the “Deluxe Kit” costs $1,645—the former giving you a $160 discount, the latter saving you almost $90. Similar—but more expensive—kits bundling Ikelite’s DS51 II strobe are no longer available, as the DS51 II has been discontinued. The DS160 II and DS162 have also been discontinued—replaced by the new DS165 and RC165.
