Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ GoPro Dome Port: Waterproof Housing Case for GoPro HERO9 Black - Underwater Protective Diving Dome with Trigger Pistol, Anti-Fog Insert, Hand Grip - Lens Accessories Included by Lance Levatte

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very disappointed with this product. Twice the size

The relationship with Telesins GoPro dome products started with my Hero 7. I only had good reviews for this dome, so when I got the Hero 8 I bought a product made for the new camera from Telesin was developed. When the goods arrived I got everything ready for kayaking that weekend. I loaded the dome with other cameras and headed to the boat. When I went to charge the GoPro, like many other reviewers, I noticed that the plastic clip that closes the case was broken. I ordered a second replacement dome thinking this issue was due to what I had done. The second arrived and sat unopened in the box until last Friday, the day before another trip to the crystal clear river here in Florida. Everything was good. I went and prepared everything. The GoPro loaded and when I tried to lock the door...CLICK! The cheap plastic latch broke again in the same spot as the previous one. It rendered the device unusable...again. As I mentioned above, I had a Hero 7 dome and noticed a definite difference between the two. There was a piece of metal on top of the Hero 7's dome mechanism that seemed to reinforce the locking mechanism, which the Hero 8 didn't seem to have. can withstand fairly intense conditions. Not easy to crack when opening the case to insert or take out the camera. I am very disappointed as I missed TWO trips due to the poor quality of this canopy. Would love to try this product again...just wish they would go back to the old metal reinforced version.

Pros
  • Easy to install: No need to remove GoPro dome before inserting camera into case. Simply open the back of the bag, insert your camera and close the bag. With the pistol trigger we have given you, you can easily take pictures and videos underwater. This design can also provide better protection against accidental impact of GoPro lens.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
