GoPro housing for deeper depths

6 posts
  1. Does anyone know of a housing for the GoPro cameras that is capable of depths deeper than 200'? Looking for a housing that would be adequate for trimix diving.

    Thanks!

  2. I've been using a custom housing made by this frenchie, however it had no buttons so you had to start recording and close the housing (this was problematic).

     

    I just received the Golem one, more info on them here Rebreather World post. Jury is still on the vignetting at 1080p and wide.

    I recently place my order on Golem gear housing. I also found very nice housing made by UK-Germany but it is a bit pricey:) 500 euro!

     

    Here is the link UK-Germany housing

    Let's see:

     

    - Cheap

     

    - Tiny package

     

    - Huge depths

     

    - Good low light performance

     

    - Fairly wide angle

     

    I think it's an amazing package even with a tiny bit of vignetting. I'm excited about it. I suspect my D7000 and aquatica is going to be spending a lot more time out of the water.

     

    There are a couple of easy ways to cure the vignetting - either stay shallow and use the backscatter housing, or blow 10 times the money on a huge camera and housing.

    I heard Patima will announce 300m/980 feet depth rating housing for GoPro this Mar.
