Hello,
was wondering if it's me or the issue is real. I've used GP 5 and 7 in Gopro housings for a while. I learned that that housing hitting its limit at about 190 fsw. Housing kinda caves in and touch screen looks pressed in, with kinda rainbow look to it. At that point buttons may or may not work. Now I got Gopro 9 and original Super Suit. Camera works great but is unusable at anything deeper than 150ft. Feels like "record" (the button on the top) button is pressed in. I think the spring is too weak and water pressure just compresses it. At that point if you turn on the camera, it will start recording time lapse until you power it down with Mode button (the one on the side). Once ascended to above 150 ft or so - camera works as expected, with better colors and less noise than Gopro 7.
Gopro has replaced the housing already (easy customer support) but I just learned yesterday that it works (or, rather, doesn't work) the same way. I have escalated the case to higher level of support to figure out if it's a design flaw but was wondering if anyone else has had similar experience (or, perhaps, someone whose case works fine till advertised 196ft).
