What the differences mean when you buy
Camera and lens compatibility
Nauticam NA-R6V Housing for Canon EOS R6V Camera
- Port system
- N120 RF Mount II
Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon ZR 6K Cinema Camera
- Camera fit
- Nikon ZR
- Port system
- DL; separately selected port required
Camera fit is the first pass-or-fail check. Housings for different bodies are alternative complete systems, not interchangeable parts. Identify the exact lens, port, extensions and gears in the current chart. A shared port-family name does not guarantee that every combination or gear transfers between models.
Controls, flash and monitoring
Nauticam NA-R6V Housing for Canon EOS R6V Camera
- Flash support
- No trigger or X-sync
Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Nikon ZR 6K Cinema Camera
- Control exclusion
- Electronic zoom
- Accessory openings
- M16 and M24
Map the controls you actually need to the housing control list. Broad marketing descriptions can omit exclusions found in a detailed table. Flash triggers, monitor bulkheads and cables may be optional or serial-dependent. A surface charging connection is not an underwater charging instruction; use it only as specified by the manufacturer.

Compare the complete ready-to-use rig, not just a bare housing body. Ports, camera, lens, handles, batteries, lights and floats affect total size and handling. Confirm which vacuum components are included and which are optional. A leak-detection or vacuum system does not replace correct manufacturer preparation or guarantee against flooding.
A closer look at both

The NA-R6V is built around Canon’s video-focused EOS R6V and uses the N120 RF Mount II port system. A switchable zoom/focus control and preinstalled handles support a cinema-style rig, with mounting points for additional equipment.
What we like
We like this as a video-led Canon R6 V platform with N120 RF Mount II ports.
What would make us think twice

Ikelite’s Nikon ZR housing pairs a DL port mount with a dual-handle base for a compact cinema-camera rig. The included surface USB-C charging/data connection, vacuum pump and spare seals are practical additions for repeated filming sessions. M16 and M24 accessory positions provide room to plan an external monitor connection.
What we like

- Write down the exact camera body and lens, then confirm the current housing and port-chart combination.
- Check every required control, trigger and monitor connection, including serial-number restrictions.
- Obtain a complete package quote covering ports, gears, handles, vacuum components and required cables.
- Follow the manufacturer setup and checking process with competent support before exposing the camera system to water.
Ask for a quote for the complete kit, including the accessories you need. That makes the price comparison much more useful.
Price, accessories and owning the equipment
The lens-port system can dominate the real buying decision. Include required extensions, gears, lighting connections and view or monitor accessories, and distinguish items you already own from items that must be bought. A Deluxe package may save separate purchases without changing the housing’s control access.
If comparing housings for different cameras, include the camera and lens cost as well as any lost compatibility with existing equipment. Confirm repair support, spare seals and the handling of warranty claims. Manufacturer depth ratings are equipment limits; they do not establish a safe diving depth or eliminate the need for a supported configuration.
How we scored these models & further reading
These are our subjective buying scores out of 100. We weigh the usefulness of the features, the intended diving or carrying job, and the compromises involved in owning the gear. They are not laboratory measurements, safety grades or customer averages. The verdict applies to the two named models, not everything either brand makes.
90–100: one of our first choices for the stated job. 80–89: a strong option with trade-offs. 70–79: a more specific fit. A different fit, camera, valve or dive plan can change which one you should buy.

Product details and further reading →Questions worth settling
Can I swap cameras because the housing dimensions look similar?
No. Compatibility must be explicitly established for the exact camera and lens. Similar external dimensions, a shared mount family or a nearby model name do not prove that controls, ports or the internal fit are interchangeable.
Which is the better buy for this particular comparison?
These are different camera systems, not interchangeable housings. If you already own a camera, its fit comes first. Its 60 m rating and lack of electronic zoom control need to fit your plan. We like this as a video-led Canon R6 V platform with N120 RF Mount II ports.
Our pick is where we would start. Choose the other model if its fit or features better match your setup—especially where a camera, valve, boot or exposure suit needs an exact match.
