1. Carefully turn the video housing upside down on
a flat surface. Flip the toggle lever up and turn it
90°. Pull up to fully remove the base from the hous-
ing tray. Remove housing from tray by disconnecting
nuts with socket wrench and removing washers.
(If your housing has an aluminum base with lead
weight, see the “Adding Weight” section after
completing the rest of these instructions.)
2. With the housing tray still upside down, take
a mounting nut and place it flat against the oppo-
site side of the housing tray with the stem of the
nut pushed up through the track in the middle of
the tray; the nut should have its flat portion
pointing towards the center of the tray.
(See diagram.)
3. Holding the nut in place with one hand, position
an e-clip against the stem of the nut; the points of
the e-clip should be pointing towards the center of
the tray. Using pliers, gently guide the three points
of the clip into the groove of the nut’s stem.
(See diagram.)
CCaauuttiioonn::
You are not attempting to crimp the
e-clips with the pliers; you are simply moving them
to “lock” into place with the grooves of the
mounting nuts.
4. Repeat step #3 for the other mounting nut and e-clip. Reattach housing to tray.
5. Open the flap of the battery pack pouch and slide the battery plate in so that the holes of the
pouch and the plate are aligned and so the textured side of the plate is pointed towards the Ikelite
logo on the bag.
6. With the video housing upside down, place the pouch against the bottom of the camera tray
so that the ventilated, Ikelite logo side of the bag is pointed towards you. The flap can be pointed
towards the back or the front of the housing, depending on your preference.
7. Drop the two mounting screws into the holes of the pouch and work them through the holes
of the plate and then through the holes on the opposite side of the pouch. Thread them into the
mounting nuts resting in the track of the housing tray.
8. Using a Philips Head screwdriver, securely tighten the two mounting screws.

The Ikelite Lite Head connects to the Ikelite SA-100 Ball Socket Arm System. The system, in
turn, connects to either the bottom of the tray or top of the handle on of the video housing.
The ball socket arm system is compact, lightweight, and offers
flexibility in where you position the lite head.
CCaauuttiioonn::
The lite head’s female connector is not waterproof
and must be capped when not connected to an Ikelite cord (i.e.
the cord with in-line switch). Using the lite head underwater
with the female connector uncapped or unconnected to a cord
will cause the lite head to flood. (See “Flooding” on page 10.)

Slide the arm’s ball mount into the mounting slot on the
bottom of the lite head. Push the mounting bolt through the
hole in the ball mount and thread into the lite head. Using a
flat head screwdriver, screw the mounting bolt completely
into the base of the lite head until it is securely fastened.

The tray mount on the arm can be connected to either
the top or bottom of a housing handle. Decide which end
you’d prefer, then unscrew the black wing nut and
remove the washer from that sec-
tion of the handle. Slide the pro-
truding bolt of the handle through
the hole in the arm’s tray mount;
the ridged side of the tray mount
should be resting against the han-
dle. Return the washer to its place around the bolt and place it over the tray mount. Retighten the
wing nut onto the bolt to secure the mount.

use the ProVideo-Lite above water. The water helps cool the lite head. Using the
Video-Lite above water could overheat the system and damage it.
Turn the primary light bulb on underwater. Loosen the wing nuts on the ball clamps to manipu-
late the arm and lite head. Adjust the positioning to suit your needs. Retighten the wing nuts when
you have everything set up to your satisfaction.
Turn the modeling light on underwater. Look through the camera’s viewfinder and aim the lite
head so that the modeling light shines into the center of your picture area. If your subject’s distance
greatly changes, you should recheck the aim of the lite head.

NNoottee::
Should you ever want to remove the battery pack pouch to replace it with the video hous-
ing’s original base, the position of the tray’s new mounting nuts will change depending on the age of
your video housing. Older style housings will need to have the tray’s mounting nuts pushed inwards
towards the center of the track, with the housing’s mounting nuts projecting through the ends of the
track. Newer style housings will have the tray’s mounting nuts pushed outwards towards the ends of
the track, with the housing’s mounting nuts projecting through the center of the track.

If your Ikelite housing features an aluminum quick-release base incorporating lead weight, please
read the following instructions:
After removing the lead filled base and attaching the battery pack and the rest of the Pro Video-
Lite system, you may have a video housing that’s slightly positively buoyant underwater. This is not
ideal when diving and shooting photos.
To regain neutral bouyancy, you may need to purchase a Double Battery Pack Pouch and place
a weight inside along with the battery pack. (See “Accessories” on page 11.)
