GoPro Protective Housing for HERO8 (Black)

Bought the GoPro 8 to use for several different projects I have going on around with the family. Most notably going hunting, 4 wheeling, playing with the dog. Almost immediately I was concerned about how the camera and its lense and touch screen were going to hold up going through bushes and whatever else might come up going down the trail.I really liked that the case came with two separate back plates that could be swapped out quick and easy: one is a full back plate and the other is open to allow access to the touch screenThe full back plate, which I keep on the camera, fits tight and per the packaging is supposed to add to the water resistant rating of the GoPro.

Most notably going hunting, 4 wheeling, playing with the dog. Almost immediately I was concerned about how the camera and its lense and touch screen were going to hold up going through bushes and whatever else might come up going down the trail.I really liked that the case came with two separate back plates that could be swapped out quick and easy: one is a full back plate and the other is open to allow access to the touch screenThe full back plate, which I keep on the camera, fits tight and per the packaging is supposed to add to the water resistant rating of the GoPro. And while it limits the ability to use the touch screen, I did like that the GoPro, with its two buttons. Was still able to move between different camera modes without being removed from the case.So far we’ve mounted this case to two different 4 wheelers, my son’s bike, and used the vice grip to mount this to two separate guns to go hunting. We are still waiting on the harness to mount this to my dog, but that’s a shipping issue.You can see several light scratches on the case from rocks and such but the case is definitely doing it’s job keeping the camera itself protected.One thing I noticed immediately on reviewing footage taken, the mic on the camera is definitely muted because of the case, but because I mounted this on the front bumper of my 4wheeler, this muffled the roar of the engine directly behind it, as well helped to muffle the rifle going off while we were dear hunting so for me it’s not a huge detractor. Especially since I’m editing the videos down into a montage to share with family out of state.I am definitely happy with this purchase as it’s keeping the camera protected so I can use it for a lot longer.

Great product, I know it will last forever with the added guarantee of the lifetime warranty. *I THINK THE ACTUAL GOPRO WILL DIE BEFORE THIS CASE DOES!* The only downside is the price, obviously. But *DO NOT!* buy any GoPro accessories that are not from GoPro, they are cheap and easily break. *SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR ACTUAL GOPRO PRODUCTS!* I know they are expensive *BUT THEY WORK!* Anyway, get this if you are getting the GoPro HERO 8 Black. PS: sorry if my writing is yelling at you. lol :)

It works. It's reliable. It does the job. It's too bad the Hero 8 this enclosure pairs itself with breaks every time someone sneezes, but this enclosure is excellent.
