Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant as some other
brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o’rings Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth
Lubricant is not a sealant it is used to reduce friction Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing

The two halves of the Zoom Clamp are held together by springs
This allows the Zoom Clamp to be stretched to fit over the zoom
grip on different diameter lenses The Zoom Clamp should fit
tight around the lenses zoom grip so that it does not slip when
using it to rotate the camera’s zoom ring If the Clamp is loose
adhere the thin black rubber strips to the inside of each half of
the Zoom Clamp as shown above The Zoom Clamp has two
extended ears with grooves These grooves accept the Ribs on
