A bit too bulky for my tastes but a great idea. It should be futureproof.

It is a pity that they were not able to put a small additional battery or an external bulkhead.

Yes, I totally agree to that Davide. This should be the main purpose of 3rd party action camera housings.
..as well as giving access to magnified screen ( via HDMI or USB-C ) option.

However... with the GoPro HERO 13 being the last ActionCam to offer an HDMI-Out and no HERO14 introduced in 2025 the future for buying an external monitor and moving this onto the next action cam looks dim.

For Cameras like the Osmo Action 6 or Insta Ace Pro 2 you need to grab the screen signal via USB-C (Webcam Mode).

Hey @Nando Diver

Thanks for sharing this news, it looks very interesting and look forward to seeing more when they are released.

Got my genuine gopro13 housing on the festive sales for £22 so I think I'll skip this one :)

Thank you @Nando Diver , i did a lot of trouble with original gopro case, so the new AOI case might be a good alternative.

Have a nice year to everybody

Bye Giacomo

Seems to be a brilliant approach for 3rd party housing and yes, i wanna see a more space-based housing to have extra battery as the WFH-GP1.
