Frequently Asked Questions
Which GoPro models does this housing fit?
It is compatible with the GoPro Hero 4, Hero 3+, and Hero 3. It will not fit the Hero 5 or newer models, which have different body dimensions.
How deep can this housing go underwater?
The housing is rated for waterproof protection suitable for diving, surfing, and snorkeling, keeping the camera sealed against water intrusion at recreational depths.
What does "blackout" mean for this housing?
The blackout design uses a non-reflective dark finish that conceals the camera's indicator lights, making it less conspicuous during filming.
Can I access the camera buttons while the housing is closed?
Yes, the housing includes external buttons that align with the GoPro's controls, allowing you to power on, start recording, and change modes without opening the case.
Does the housing affect image quality or field of view?
The flat front lens port maintains image clarity. Some minor vignetting may appear at the widest angle settings compared to shooting without a housing.
