FitStill 60M/196FT Underwater Waterproof Case for Go Pro Hero 8 Black with 3 Dive Filters, Floating Handle & Accessory Kit
Product description
What it is
This is a dedicated underwater protection kit for the Go Pro Hero 8 Black, featuring a 60 m / 196 ft waterproof housing, three colour-correction diving filters, and a buoyant floating hand grip as part of a complete accessory set.
What it solves
If you’re capturing underwater moments on a budget or want to extend your dive photography palette, this kit aims to let you record brighter colours and protect your camera from water and dust while exploring water activities.
How it’s built and what to expect on paper
The housing uses PMMA for the body and a high-transmittance lens area designed to withstand depths up to 60 metres. The three filters (pink, red, purple) target different depths and water colours to help correct colour cast when diving or snorkelling. The floating grip helps keep the setup visible and afloat, while the anti-fog inserts and other included accessories support practical use.
The best parts
You’ll likely appreciate the colour filters for underwater scenes, and the floating grip reduces the risk of losing the camera at depth. The package includes a range of accessories that can simplify the initial set-up for Go Pro Hero 8 users.
Limitations to note
On-water touchscreen use is not possible while the housing is fitted, which means you’ll rely on pre-set shot ideas or external controls. The filters are specifically stated as compatible with FitStill Hero 8 Black Diving Case, so compatibility with other housings or camera models isn’t guaranteed.
Who it’s for
This kit suits divers, snorkellers, and watersports enthusiasts who want a self-contained solution for colour-corrected footage and reliable protection, without buying multiple separate components.
Who it isn’t for
If you prioritise full touchscreen control underwater or want a compact, minimal setup, this may feel bulkier than other solutions. It may not be ideal if you use a different Go Pro model or a non-FitStill housing.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this kit if you’re entering underwater photography with a Hero 8 Black and want depth protection plus practical filters and buoyant handling in one package at a reasonable price.
What to check before buying
Confirm that your Go Pro Hero 8 Black is the model used with this specific diving case, and note that the included filters are designed for the FitStill Hero 8 Black Diving Case. Verify that the depth requirement aligns with your planned underwater activities.
How it compares to other approaches
If you’re weighing options, you could buy a basic waterproof housing and individual filters separately. This kit bundles protection, depth capability, and colour correction, which can save time and hassle for new underwater shooters, though you may trade off some modularity.
Practical use example
Picture yourself descending under a clear blue reef: the red or pink filters can help with natural colour recovery as you go deeper, while the floating grip keeps your camera easily recoverable after a quick dive burst.
Buying decision
Should you buy it? It’s worth considering if you want a single, purpose-built underwater kit for Go Pro Hero 8 Black with depth protection and colour correction filters, provided you’re comfortable with a non-touchscreen underwater setup and the filters’ compatibility scope.
