It’s does what it says on the packaging
I have bought aftermarket products in the past and it has not done the job it’s says in the packaging. Used this product on my new GoPro 13 due to old GoPro getting water damage due to aftermarket product failing. Took great shots diving in the Philippines and now can relive those moments. Easy to use and put on, all the buttons are accessible.

Disappointed
The housing has already cracked. Used to capture motorsports but unfortunately the product was not structurally strong enough and cracked. Very disappointed.

Totally useless, dont bother.
I purchased this case for a brand new hero 10. One problem, you cant use this case on the hero 10 as it makes the camera overheat. Making the case totally redundant.

An added level of protection for your hero 9 or 10. Perfect for worry free underwater use and added level of protection for when you're filming on your motorbike/racing go kart
Well constructed genuine product from gopro, sure you can buy cheaper versions on ebay but I'd rather pay the extra for extra quality

At a glance
The GoPro Protective Housing is a rugged case for HERO12, HERO11, HERO10 and HERO9 Black users who film in water, mud, snow or sand. Its big strengths are waterproof protection to 60 m, durable construction and a clear lens for sharp footage. A fair limitation is that it adds an extra layer around the camera, so it is less streamlined than using the camera bare.

Things to consider
It is ideal for harsh environments and underwater use, but it adds extra bulk compared with using the camera without a housing.
Mounting flexibility score
7/10 - works well within the GoPro ecosystem, though its main purpose is protection rather than expanding mount options.
Adventure suitability
9/10 - purpose-built for underwater and harsh outdoor conditions including surf, snow, dust and sand.
Compatibility with major brands
Best for GoPro HERO12 Black, HERO11 Black, HERO10 Black and HERO9 Black; not a universal multi-brand housing.
Travel friendliness
8/10 - compact and lightweight enough for travel, though it adds some extra bulk to your camera setup.
Durability rating
9/10 - rugged construction and sealed housing design make it well suited to repeated outdoor and underwater use.
Key benefits
- Waterproof Design: Rated for underwater use down to 60 m, making it suitable for diving, snorkelling and other water-based adventures.
- Rugged Outer Shell: Helps shield the camera from knocks, drops, dirt, dust and sand during demanding outdoor use.
- Clear Protective Lens: The polycarbonate lens is designed to maintain clear, distortion-free footage above and below the water.
- Adventure-Ready Protection: Lets you take your camera into surf, snow and rough terrain with more confidence.
- Portable Form Factor: At about 0.09 kg, it adds protection without making your action camera kit overly heavy to carry.
- Camera-Specific Fit: Built for HERO12 Black, HERO11 Black, HERO10 Black and HERO9 Black for a secure fit around the camera body.
- Control Access: Designed to maintain access to camera controls so you can operate the camera while it is protected.
- All-Conditions Use: A practical choice for filming in wet, sandy or snowy conditions where an unprotected camera is more exposed.
Q: Will this housing fit GoPro HERO12, HERO11, HERO10 and HERO9 Black?
A: Yes. GoPro Protective Housing ADDIV-001 is designed for HERO12 Black, HERO11 Black, HERO10 Black and HERO9 Black cameras. It is not listed for other GoPro ranges or other action camera brands, so fit and button alignment are not assured outside those models.
Q: Is this housing suitable for scuba diving, not just snorkelling?
A: Yes. GoPro Protective Housing ADDIV-001 is waterproof to 60 metres, so it suits diving as well as surface water use. That depth rating applies to the sealed housing, and it is still important to close it correctly before entering the water.
Q: Does the sealed housing reduce the GoPro's built-in microphone sound?
A: Yes. A sealed protective housing can muffle onboard audio, especially underwater or in windy, wet conditions. This accessory is mainly for waterproofing and impact protection, so it makes more sense when camera safety matters more than raw microphone pickup.
Q: Will the case make my GoPro noticeably bulkier to carry?
A: Yes. The housing adds more bulk than using the camera bare or in a slim frame, because it surrounds the body with a rigid waterproof shell. The trade-off is stronger protection from knocks, sand, dust and deeper water use.
Q: Is the front lens clear enough for underwater and above-water filming?
A: Yes. The housing uses a clear polycarbonate lens designed for low-distortion footage above and below the surface. As with any external lens cover, image quality depends on keeping that front window clean and free from marks, droplets and debris.
Q: Can this protective housing work with other action camera brands?
A: No. GoPro Protective Housing ADDIV-001 is optimised for selected GoPro HERO Black cameras and is not listed as compatible with other action camera brands. A different body shape or button layout can prevent a proper seal or full control access.
Q: What is included with the GoPro protective housing accessory?
A: The GoPro Protective Housing includes the housing itself, plus a mounting buckle and thumb screw for attaching it to compatible GoPro mounts. It is an accessory rather than a camera kit, so the camera body is purchased separately.
