GoPro AADIV-001 Super Suit - Protection + Dive Housing for HERO7 Black, HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black and HERO 2018

Originally I thought this was a little bit overpriced, but with negative reviews on the cheaper alternatives I took the hit and ordered it.I am glad I did, it’s a great bit of kit. It’s constructed from robust and tough plastic, which once you work out how to remove the lens cover on your go pro, is easy to fit (it comes with instructions). The interchangeable doors (In total 2 Waterproof, 1 Skeleton) are easy to change over, they just fold down and pull off. The buttons are easily operated with one hand, and the screen detail is easy to see through the waterproof door, as long as there isn’t much sun glare.The reason for the three interchangeable doors:Waterproof 1 - for use so screen can be seen when using the GoProWaterproof 2 - so a float can be mounted to the door (and not removed every time)Skeleton - so the touch screen can be operated when using the GoProI am yet to test it underwater, but the ‘put paper towel in it and put it in the sink test’ worked! It hopefully will offer added protection when fitted to the mountain bike.It doesn’t add too much bulk either, and spending less than £50 to protect a camera that is much more expensive is surely worth it.I’ve have attached some extra photos of the bits I was unsure of...

After spending that much on a camera it was a pain to spend another £50 on this but wouldn't risk a cheaper knock off (personal choice). I'm unlikely to go deeper than 10m but wanted the option and the increased ruggedness. The super suit is needed if you want to use different filters on the gopro. Buttons are easy to use and it comes with a full back door to completely seal the unit for diving and a skeleton back panel (has a hole/window) allowing access to the touch screen but I believe this compromises the waterproofing. When you update the firmware on your gopro you can use the buttons to cycle through the recording options via the front LCD screen so you can alter settings without removing the unit from the case. To put the camera in the case you need to remove the lens from the gopro! This is a bit tricky at first (pull and twist) but with a bit of practice becomes easier. Overall a well known bit of gopro kit and glad I have one.

When I first bought my gopro I didn't feel the need to buy a suit for it, since the camera is waterproof up to 10m, and since I didn't dive deep nor practiced though sports, I felt I did not need more gear. But it reached a time I did in fact, and at the time I saw this gopro super suit as too expensive and ended up buying a 3rd partie one for £12. It served its purpose of underwater casing and external protection. But yet again as I experienced more with the gopro I started buying underwater filters, and the very good ones have an attachment only for this super suit. Humm... I was thinking if it was really worth it, and as I started thinking more and more, I thought "screw it let's buy it since the price dropped to £35". So when I got it my inicial though was "wow.. This is really solid!!" yes, it's plastic but a very solid very well designed one! Nothing like the 3rd partie one!! And works beautifully!So, is it worth paying more for an authentic super suit? No doubt! This solid piece of gear will last you a long time!

Happy with this! Couple of spare back doors included, which is a nice touch. One works without blocking the touch screen, three other keeps it water tight. My only concern is that I can see the case opposing against the screen when I'm about 20 metres under water. Hoping this doesn't damage the go pro but I guess they are meant to be tough! Much better value than my full sized camera system, that's for sure.

Recently received this from ShopVIP for a bargain price.I was a little worried that at such a good price the housing might not be genuine - but need not have worried, the housing arrived in genuine packaging and all components, labels and leaflet inside oozed GoPro quality.If your after GP Super Suit grab one of these bargains before they're all gone.The only negative is that you still have to remove the camera lens protection cover before it will fit in the housing - I would have thought by now GoPro's R&D would have re-jigged the housing design to allow the complete camera to fit inside - I don't like the idea of having to remove the waterproof lens protector every time I want to put it in the housing!

ProsExactly what one should expect from GoPro: high quality and perfect fit for a GoPro. Everything works fine, all buttons are easily accessible.ConsI don’t like the fact that I have to remove the lens protector of the camera every time I have to use the supersuit.As the batteries don’t last long, one has to open the super suit etc, hence exposing the camera, and exposed lens, to the elements, i.e water, dust, etc.

Works well. Tested & used down to 20.1m to date.I found it easy to control the GoPro on my tray and I could easily see the LCD panel.The extra back covers may be useful for the future. For now, I intend to leave the original one in place.As I'm using it on a tray and don't have a suitable case to carry everything together, I am using a velvet bag to cover the case when I'm not diving. The intention is to protect the case and lens from damage, such as scratches.Originally I purchased a housing with a power pack supplied. Sadly this flooded after a couple of uses, hence me purchasing this case. The clamp on that was very long and easy to knock. I believe that the size of the clamp and the metal "spring retainer" may have contributed to the flood.With this case the is no such worry. The unlocking system requires more than a simple unlock and this reduces the possibility of opening it during the dive. There is also no metal "spring retainer" as in most other GoPro housings or copies.I have also had to purchase a couple of spare batteries to go with my GoPro. The battery pack was a nice idea, but there were issues.I'm happy with this case now. :-)
