Review on Luxebell Aluminium Alloy Skeleton Protective Case for GoPro Hero 7 6 5 Vlogging - Black by Josh Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well, not waterproof.

Looks great, easy to assemble and the GoPro Hero 5 Black fits perfectly AND has a "thumb screw" on one side to secure the camera to avoid rattling. The only "problem" is that it has Hero 7 printed on it, with the "Windkiller" sound absorbing coating I can't see much of it. While this adds extra weight to the helmet, it should protect my investment from giant bugs, rocks and pebbles. The camera is waterproof, so it was never intended to provide additional water protection. I just bought a second one to add to my helmet collection. I will be buying another one to complete my collection of 3 modular helmets. . The lens on the front lens cap is loose even if you screw it on tightly. I noticed this during video playback while driving, I can hear the filter/lens rattling because they are NOT attached. To solve this problem I took a needle and added some superglue in 4 places around the edges, inside and outside, to keep it from rattling. Pretty neat work, you hardly see it, and you can't see anything on the video.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
