I took this to Gatlinburg on my white water rafting trip. I think the go-pro could handle a little water but it's nice having peace of mind with a case. As with all branded things go-pro is no-go on the price. Honestly everything is overpriced by them. But if you get any kind of discount it sweetens the deal. Quick thing, I had my go pro fly off my head while extreme go-karting and it took a hefty fall and was still ok outside of the case, but I would of felt much better and it would be less blemished with this thing.

Bought the GoPro 8 to use for several different projects I have going on around with the family. Most notably going hunting, 4 wheeling, playing with the dog. Almost immediately I was concerned about how the camera and its lense and touch screen were going to hold up going through bushes and whatever else might come up going down the trail.
I really liked that the case came with two separate back plates that could be swapped out quick and easy: one is a full back plate and the other is open to allow access to the touch screen
The full back plate, which I keep on the camera, fits tight and per the packaging is supposed to add to the water resistant rating of the GoPro. And while it limits the ability to use the touch screen, I did like that the GoPro, with its two buttons. Was still able to move between different camera modes without being removed from the case.
So far we’ve mounted this case to two different 4 wheelers, my son’s bike, and used the vice grip to mount this to two separate guns to go hunting. We are still waiting on the harness to mount this to my dog, but that’s a shipping issue.
You can see several light scratches on the case from rocks and such but the case is definitely doing it’s job keeping the camera itself protected.
One thing I noticed immediately on reviewing footage taken, the mic on the camera is definitely muted because of the case, but because I mounted this on the front bumper of my 4wheeler, this muffled the roar of the engine directly behind it, as well helped to muffle the rifle going off while we were dear hunting so for me it’s not a huge detractor. Especially since I’m editing the videos down into a montage to share with family out of state.
I am definitely happy with this purchase as it’s keeping the camera protected so I can use it for a lot longer.

While the GroPro 8 is water proof already, it's not sand proof and when going too the beach, snorkeling or diving this sure helps. Just remember you can't use the touch screen with the full back on.

My kids dropped the Go Pro a couple of times but fortunately we had it in this housing. No harm done. A smart accessory to have and well worth it.

Absolutely loved it! I used it to record in Cancun as we were on some jet skis. Definitely keeps the water out without interfering with the quality.

I know Hero8 is supposedly waterproof but you can never be too careful. We bought this to protect our camera during our recent trip to Costa Rica, El Salvador & Belieze and it worked well. I would like to say the clamp is very tight and difficult for my wife to open with her nails but that makes sure it is in my hands whenever she needs it open so there is an added layer of protection if your wife has nails and open it often. It is a bit pricey si I cut the value one notch but in their defence what are your prescious pictures of a once of a lifetime trip worth?

This is a must have if you want to protect your investment. Although the Hero8 Black is shock and water proof already this housing will help protect it in extreme impact conditions or to you to deeper depths while diving. The only downfall is you will loose a little sound quality with this extra housing on but it will make no difference with sound or pitcher quality under water.
