Review on SHOOT Dome Port Lens for GoPro HERO8 Black - Dual Handle Stabilizer Floating Grip, Enlarge Trigger, Overall Waterproof Case - Enhanced Underwater Shooting Experience by Cho Screeton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but leaked water after repeated use

I love this dome and he made the coolest video of my snorkeling - the turtle comes up, takes a breath and dives again in front of the yacht we are on were. The photo posted here does not match the video clip as it is difficult to get a perfect picture when there is a wave. The controls are easy to use and reliable. You can't see your GoPro's screen at night while night diving so I haven't been able to reliably use it for that, but I'm not sure how to fix this issue. Also, it's pretty difficult for me to see the screen underwater during the day, but good enough to know what settings you have enabled (time-lapse or video/recording, not not). It was easy to hold and float. It was perfectly waterproof for 5 days of constant use without even condensation. However, by day 6, a significant amount of water was seeping through the front (not the back) through the bolts/gaskets connecting the two halves of the dome. I haven't dived with it so it's not a depth issue. I'm not surprised it leaked - when you buy a dive light you have to lube the battery compartment seal to keep water out and you have o-rings and this one doesn't have an o-ring. I think you just need to lubricate the dome halves like a flashlight battery case every few days of use. So bring some petroleum jelly and some hex wrenches so you can take it apart and then seal it with grease. We called it the "bubble".

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Not all fit

Leaked after two uses snorkeling. Shutter button is very hard to press enough to work.
