Substrobe DS51
The Substrobe DS51 covers the equivalent of a 28mm lens. It is the
ideal choice when using only the camera lens with no accessory
wide angle lenses attached.
Using Non-Ikelite or Ikelite Non-DS Substrobes
(Substrobe 50, 100A, 200, 400) with this Housing.
The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used
with a Non-Ikelite or Non-DS Substrobe. These Substrobes can be
used in their manual mode utilizing any power settings provided
on the Substrobe.
Using Ikelite DS Digital Strobes
For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend
adding an external DS-digital strobe connected to the housing with
a #4103.51 TTL Sync Cord and a SA-100 Ball/socket arm
(Page #11)
.
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm,
even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from
the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the
illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate
backscatter. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the
DS51 Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller
provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.

Flash Deflector
A flash deflector (supplied) can be installed over the back of the
housing port next to the housing exterior. The deflector will
deflect the camera flash when using an EV Manual Controller.
T
he deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV
Controller which controls the external strobe output. To attach,
push the deflector over the back of the housing port, until the
deflector clips into position, blocking the camera flash.
NOTE:
The deflector is
not
needed when an Ikelite DS digital
strobe is connected (hard-wired) directly to the housing
(recommended).
Using External Strobes
For the best photographic results underwater, we recommend
using Ikelite External Strobes. This housing has Conversion
C
ircuitry built into the housing back, eliminating the need for
an EV Controller. The Conversion Circuitry provides real Canon
TTL flash when used with an Ikelite DS Digital substrobe(s) and
the #4103.51 single or #4103.52 dual sync cord, connected
directly to the housing.
See
page 13
for DS Substrobe compatibility with the Conversion
Circuitry.
Please Read If Using an EV-Controller
TTL flash control is not available when using an EV-Controller,
and therefore an EV Controller is not recommended for use
with this housing.
NOTE:
Do not attach the housing hotshoe to the camera when
using the EV Manual Controller. If attached, the camera flash
may not fire, which is necessary to trigger the external strobe.
