For the truly discerning underwater videographer, Ikelite offers the WP-80 Wide Angle Port as an option for select Ikelite video housings. This represents the premium end of Ikelite wide-angle options and delivers the ultimate in resolving power, particularly important in high-definition applications.

This remarkable port is designed by renowned Fathom Imaging and uses only the highest quality optical grade glass elements. The resulting image is exceptionally crisp edge-to-edge, without distortion or vignetting. Its glass elements feature a superb anti-reflective coating to transmit a maximum amount of light. The port is nitrogen purged, vacuum sealed, and water pressure tested to 200 feet. These processes ensure a port that is entirely free of dust, debris, fogging/condensation problems, or leaks of any kind.

The WP-80 is useable above water for up to 90 degree field of view, underwater for up to 80 degree field of view (exact angle of coverage varies with camera model). Also useable at the surface for amazing over-under video.

The WP-80 is a complete unit, no additional lens or port is required. The Wide Angle Port replaces the housing's original port and cannot be removed and replaced underwater. A tool is included to assist in removing the housing's original port, allowing the WP-80 to thread easily into the front of the housing.

This port is too large to accept Ikelite's existing removable UR/Pro filters. A new UR/Pro filter will be available to fit this port sometime in the near future.
