Gopro storage

[mervyndcouto]

What is the best way to store a gopro when not in use.
I mean, should the housing be closed or left open (obviously in a dust secure place)
I ask this because when the housing is closed, the O-ring is under compression. Will this cause the O-ring to lose its elasticity?

Thanks

I usually leave it open but with the latch hooked loosely.

I have an INTOVA sport HD which fits the same question. What I did is to leave it full open, with the O-ring removed from it's groove and placed inside the housing but in the opposite groove, where it can relax with plenty of room to accommodate to a non-tensional status. Of course covered with a alveolar film.

you can't remove the GoPro o-ring, so leave the housing open. I have mine inside a ziploc baggie, that along with all the pieces and parts, clips hooks inside a plastic bin.

U can remove the gopro gasket( o-ring)
But u can just leave it un latch and store in a cool dry place.

I leave it open and store in sealed in a ziplog bag

Ditto for removing the o-ring. Lubing it and into a ziplock bag.

Just bought two of these neoprene pouches, I think they'll work out great on a dive boat.


at $6 they're cheap

The Large SP case I use hold 2 cameras and lots of little bits. If you're asking about o-ring care, that's pretty basic basic basic.

O-Ring: definitely do not keep it in the housing compressed. I use the sandwich PE film to cover it when not in use.

GoPro: I put it in my thick sock
