Review on πŸ“Έ Luxebell Aluminium Alloy Skeleton Case: Ultimate Protection for GoPro Vlogging Microphone Adapter C400 C500 by David Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

HIGH QUALITY PROTECTION FOR YOUR GOPRO HERO 4 AT A GREAT PRICE!

GREAT PROTECTION FOR YOUR GOPRO HERO 4 AT A GOOD PRICE! After the factory plastic case that came with my GoPro Hero4 self destructed, I looked for something more durable and vibration resistant like a GoPro plastic case. I found the Luxebell C200 at Revain and couldn't believe the price. A plastic GoPro case costs about $50, but the C200 costs half that with more features. I was skeptical but thought I couldn't lose given the price. The C200 case arrived and I was blown away by the quality, fit and versatility at such a low price. It's made from CNC machined aluminum, fits the camera perfectly, has cut outs so I can see all the windows of the Hero4 and I can position the mount in multiple positions. The mount screws into the machined body, so you don't have to worry about it breaking like you did with the original GoPro. You also get 2 mounts: one for GoPro mounts and one for shoes. There's even a lens cap and screw-on glass filter to protect the Hero4's lens. This is a really great half timbered house at a great price. I mainly use my GoPro for video while cycling and the road vibrations were obviously more than the GoPro's plastic body (handlebar mounted) could handle. I appreciate GoPro sending me a new replacement case, but I don't trust them anymore with a camera this expensive, even with a tether. All I remember is my camera bouncing down the road on the descent at about 45 mph. Now I don't have to worry about Luxebell, it even came with a lanyard. There is a threaded friction device on the housing to hold the camera in place with a hand strap. So I would recommend this case to anyone with a Hero4.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
