Question Diving to 75meters with a gopro 12 witht the official gopro 12 case

[Rich1280]

I've had mine down to 65m max and 55m+ a few times, and the buttons seem to stop working about 50m. I've just ordered a Carbonarm case for deeper stuff.

It might work, some have reported taking the cases deeper, but the buttons will stop working, as they often stop working before even 60m.

What you need is the Golem Gear GoPro case which is good for 150m or 300m.

$450 case and they can't even update the model number on the product pic, shesh.

I considered that thought before — if I’m shelling out the price of a whole gopro for a case, I’d rather get the T-housing version that takes the extra power pack thing (can’t remember the name right now)

edit:
(German) product link, it was called digipower Re-fuel btw

I assume if I go beyond 70m I’ll need the battery life

Hello,
Im doing my first normoxic trimix dive tomorrow, for my IANTD certification.
I really would like to bring my gopro, filming myself with 4 tanks, it is also a nice site where we can see hammerheads (I have a tattoo without ever seeing one).
I know that the case is maximum 60meters and it is not smart to bring it to 75, but I would like to know if there are other divers bringing the gopro at that depth, without anything happening to it.
Thanks

Either be prepared to write it off should the housing fail, or if you can find an older version cheaply to test first?
