Ikelite update on Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VII housing compatibility
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 series consistently lands on compact camera “best of” lists for both surface shooing and underwater. It has a large 1″-type sensor, really flexible 24-200mm zoom range with excellent autofocus, and shoots great oversampled 4K video quality.
The newer Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VII is compatible with the existing Underwater Housing for Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VI # 6116.18. There is a slight dimensional difference between RX100 VI and VII cameras which may cause some intermittency of control function with housings that were built prior to the release of the Mark VII.
Housings produced before August 26, 2019 (serial number 72159 and below) were manufactured to the specifications of the older Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VI camera. The screw attaching the rear dial control may interfere with the slightly thicker RX100 VII camera causing intermittency of rear dial and aperture ring controls. Tightening this screw slightly should resolve these issues.
In addition to revisiting the design of this model, we have tested a large sampling of production housings and cameras to confirm fit. Minor differences in camera bodies and housings may affect your results. If you experience any issues with this installation please contact us via email. In your email reference the serial number of your housing and the control(s) that you are experiencing issues with.
The RX100 VII camera cannot be used with or adapted to other Ikelite housing models built for prior model RX100 I, II, III, IV, or V cameras.
