Backscatter Gopro red fliter cover

[scubadiver sparks]

Now as most of us know the lens cover that came with our Gopro dive housing will not work with the Backscatter flip up red filter.... And we all know its a bummer. So I decided to make one. Its really easy. All I did was take some neoprene that I wasnt using and made a "Gopro Cozy" if you wanted to call it that. Just a tube of neoprene that fits around the case and filter. Works good for me, keep it on wen I'm not holding the camera in the water or when in a camera bucket, and off when in the filming. Just make sure to clip it off or put it in a bcd pocket because it will float away... had it happen once so far... thankfully I say it on the surface and went up to get it. Here are some photos. Hope this helps!

Nice. I was going to use a wrist sweat band.

Great idea. I also have found that the thin premade neoprene cozys can be stretched over the housing as well, after a few stretches they seem to fit perfectly if you dont feel like making one. I got mine for free from Divers Direct.
