Flash, Waterproof Cable Pass-Through & Tripod Mount — All in One Kit
This add-on kit is an upgrade and requires a Pro Kit to work.
This kit bundles three independent capabilities into one package: a hot-shoe flash mount, a waterproof cable pass-through for any cabled protocol, and a waterproof tripod mount. All three components are possible and can be used independently or in combination, depending on your shoot. Use the comments field at checkout or contact our team if you have questions or need help.
All Add-on Kits supplement a Pro Kit you already own. They are fully compatible with your existing front & rear glass and accessories, adding only the components needed for the new capabilities.
The kit contains:
- Pro Cover FT with flash space and 1 opening (Regular or Large size — your choice)
- Flash Lens (covers the flash light opening)
- Flash Glove (holds the flash lens in place inside the cover)
- Cable Adaptor + Plug (waterproof cable pass-through)
- Tripod Adaptor (waterproof tripod mount, stainless steel)
- Lubricant for plug/cable
The Cover FT combines flash space and a bottom opening in one cover. The flash space accommodates most standard hot-shoe flash units from major brands. The bottom opening accepts either the Cable Adaptor or the Tripod Adaptor — they share the same dimensions and are interchangeable. This is a separate cover from your Pro Cover; you continue using your Pro Cover when neither flash nor adaptor is needed.
Note: if you need to use the Cable Adaptor and Tripod Adaptor simultaneously, you would need a Cover T2 with 2 openings (available separately in Parts).
The Cable Adaptor creates a waterproof pass-through for any cable that fits its opening — audio, video, power, data, or control signals. Cables are not included, since the right cable depends on your specific use case.
The Tripod Adaptor extends your camera’s standard ¼-inch tripod mount to the outside of the Outex housing, creating a fully waterproof external tripod connection compatible with any standard tripod.
Use Cases
- Underwater flash photography — mount a hot-shoe flash for illuminated underwater and surface shots
- Above/below water strobe sync — trigger external strobes above the surface while shooting below
- Tethered capture — connect your camera to a laptop for live image transfer via USB or any cable protocol
- External power — run power cables to extend shooting sessions
- Audio/video output — pass microphone, HDMI, SDI, or other signal cables through the housing
- Tripod mounting — stable poolside or water-level positioning on any standard tripod
- Control signals — connect any control cable your workflow requires

Dome Size Guide
**120mm dome** — Compact, lighter, more portable. Great value for most underwater and split-level work.
**180mm dome** — Larger dome = better optical correction, especially for wide-angle lenses and split-level photography. Recommended for professional and demanding use. Heavier and bulkier than the 120mm.
