The GoPro blackout housing<\/a> is one of GoPro’s latest accessory release. The case<\/a> is based on the same form factor as the Hero 3+<\/a> housing so will fit both the Hero 3 and Hero 3+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In essence the blackout housing<\/a> is identical to the normal Hero 3 housing with the exception that it is made from matt black plastic<\/a> and all of the LED lights are hidden from view. Even the GoPro logo on the front of the housing<\/a> is black on black.<\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/p>\n

In the packet you receive the main housing with the solid door attached. There is also a black skeleton door and four black stickers<\/a> which you can use to hide the LCD screen which is still visible through the housing under normal circumstances.<\/p>\n

\"GoPro<\/p>\n

The housing like the normal one is waterproof to 131’\/40m and feels as robust and as well constructed as the normal housing. One thing I do find odd is the fact that GoPro have billed this as a option if you wish to shoot in a low profile and have gone to the effort of even blacking out their logo, yet the logo on the quick release mount is still a crisp white. The nut used on the mount is also silver, it just seems strange that this hasn’t been considered.<\/p>\n
