📸 Waterproof Housing Case for Samsung Gear 360 Camera (2016 V1 only) - Excluding 2017 Version Review

Bought Gear 360 2016 v1 and this case because I'm in the water a lot and wanted to take 360 photos and videos underwater. I didn't even put this suitcase in the water and it started leaking; immediately filled with water and ruined my camera forever. Also, I had to order this case twice. The first was sent back as the mounting clip was broken. When I received the replacement it was not waterproof (as stated above). I lost a good 360 camera because this product is not working as…

When I went to buy it I was a bit apprehensive due to some criticisms, although I decided to buy and test it. It was delivered very quickly, I just shot 2 miles of rafting along with 1.5 ziplines and as a result the quality was perfect and the product is excellent. Camera installation right side and position. I think that might have been why some people had issues with cracks and other situations that they considered brittle - just my 5 cents - when I found the plastic to be flimsy. All in all,

Fragile, leaking and internal reflections Used once - leaked on first use - I have used many underwater cases and am very careful with seals and covers. it leaked, end of story. On the way back from Thailand I packed my carry-on and when I opened the bag I found the front of the suitcase was badly scratched - it hadn't been abused, just packed in the backpack I took as carry-on. . Very soft plastic. I tested before driving and noticed internal reflections from the working LEDs as well as the…

I really liked this product. Until the bracket broke. I could still use it (in my hands) but I couldn't use it as intended. I also had a bit of an issue with the latch not staying closed when I jumped into the water from a great height, but it never opened to the point where it leaked. I've tried to fix a broken mount with superglue, but I'm pretty sure it won't be a "permanent" fix. I really want it to stay together. I used it twice before it broke. Once in a situation where I jumped into the…

I got this to protect the Gear 360 and I have a couple of big issues with it: - It adds a noticeable "lens seam" to the 360 video which destroys the seamless glue - it scratches very easily. which is very noticeable in the video - the buttons on the case don't go down far enough so you really have to press down to press the buttons on the Gear 360 - when it's on you can see the red record LED light see it reflecting inside you're recording - it's VERY easy if you drop it - the picture quality…

I have tried many underwater cases for different cameras. The reviews say the case is leaking, but in my case this didn't happen. I used it for snorkeling in almost freezing water. (1-4* C) The image quality is very good and the distortion is not as great underwater as it is above water. The plastic seam was probably designed so that it didn't show up until after the case was submerged due to aberration/underwater light distortion etc. In my case I did not find the case to be leaking but I…

*updated 11/11/2020 I have changed my rating to one star. If it was possible to make it zero, I would. I've only used this case a couple of times and now the latch is broken. Add that experience to the poor optics and leaky seal, and there's really no reason to buy this. Not alone. It was a waste of money. I would avoid this accommodation. I live by a lake and spend a lot of time in and out of the water. I've donated more than my fair share of GoPros to the gods of the lake while playing. It's…
