I'm placing in "Storage" the GoPro with Easydive
by Massimo Boyer
At the moment the market offers a wide choice of Action Cams, among which one in particular remains somewhat the symbol of an entire category: the GoPro, now in the Hero 11 version . Could Easydive have avoided producing a dedicated case?
The answer is no. Thus was born the Easy dive case dedicated to the GoPro Hero 11.
We present it to you, but first we want to ask ourselves a somewhat provocative question...
...do you really need this case?
Or, in other words, why spend more money on an aluminum housing for the GoPro Hero 11?
Previous versions of the GoPro also provided a case as a kit in PVC, guaranteed up to -40 m. From the Hero 9 version onwards, however, this case is no longer supplied. The Gopro is guaranteed for a depth of -10 m, clearly the advice for those who want to take it underwater is to inserta case that guarantees its watertightness beyond 10 m: think for a moment about the subjects you would see pass at -15 m !At this point, since it is advisable to get a case, the question becomes: which one is right for you?
Remember that you have already spent around 450.00 for an Action Cam that will allow you to capture excellent images and videos in 4K, entrust it to a PVC case with only a small silicone o-ring (among other things, very hard to find as a spare) may not be the optimal solution.
Furthermore, by recording in 4k the GoPro heats up a lot and sometimes there is the risk that condensation forms inside the case right in the lens part, and this will not help us to have the best quality.
The logical answer is: buy an aluminum case, investing a little more.
Carbonarm.com makes them, starting with the GoPro Hero3.
The first advantage is obvious: the peace of mind of storing your GoPro in
a very robust case, which also protects against accidental bumps on a boat or at sea. The Carbonarm case has 2 o-rings in all potential water inlets, thus offering maximum safety against flooding, and is tested and guaranteed up to - 250 m.
In addition, being made of aluminum and with a double o-ring, the case does not cause any problems with condensation, which could affect plastic material cases.
The case has many holes with different threads, arranged to allow solid fixing to brackets, helmets, Goodman, or many other applications (e.g. underwater scooters).
Furthermore, to protect the case from corrosion and galvanic currents, this case has as many as 2 zincs (anodes similar to those mounted on boat hulls) that the user it can independently change when it deems it appropriate.Last but not least, the assistance. This case is completely 100% Made in Italy, which implies that in the years to come any spare part (o-ring, or any scratched screen) will be easily found.
Of course, in these many years of GoPro a series of accessories have been developed to further improve the quality of the underwater images, the most recommended ones are the additional wet lenses that are used for the wide angle (environment) and for the macro.
To these is added a complete range of brackets, arms, and Illuminators, which, on the one hand, weigh down a pocket-sized structure and increase its volume.
On the other hand, they improve the image quality and the underwater handling of the device.
In detail, the new Carbonarm housing for GoPro Hero 11 has:
• Anodized aluminum body with 50 micron military treatment to ensure maximum resistance to wear and salt over time.
• All controls are reported externally with extreme precision.
• The side zipper allows you to open and close the case very easily.
• Presence of a double O-ring seal, a zinc for protection against galvanic currents and a cap for preparing an external battery pack, suction system, video output and remote control.
• Preparation for accessories such as filters and additional macro lenses.
• In the upper part there is an M6 threaded blind hole with locking pin, which allows you to implement any accessories or insert an SF / M6 sphere which allows you to add any accessory light.
• In the lower part, the housing has 5 threaded holes, 2 with M6 metric pitch , 2 with Kodak 1/4 pitch, which allow the housing to be easily fixed to a possible pan/tilt bracket. There is also a Kodak 1/4 center hole.
• 2 year guarantee.
The controls are mechanical buttons.
The Maximum Operating Depth is -250 meters.
