FitStill 50M/164FT Waterproof Underwater Case with 3 Diving Filters and Floating Handle, Suitable for Go Pro Hero 7/6/5/2018 Black
Quick take
This FitStill underwater housing kit is made specifically for the GoPro Hero 7/6/5 (2018) Black, offering a waterproof case rated to 50 m (164 ft), a set of three color-correction diving filters, and a floating grip to help keep your setup on the surface. The biggest practical drawback for many buyers is that the touchscreen can’t be used through the case, so you’ll be relying on controls you can operate with the housing closed. Buyer-review feedback is mixed, with most users describing good value and accessory performance, but a small number reporting leak issues.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Made for GoPro Hero 7/6/5 (2018) Black, including a matched adapter dock and mounting hardware.
- Includes 3 diving filters (pink, red, purple) plus 12 anti-fog inserts to support clearer underwater footage.
- Floating grip design intended to reduce the chance of losing the camera setup in water.
- Rated waterproof to 50 m (164 ft) with a lens section made of high-transmittance steel glass.
Cons
- No touchscreen use while the camera is inside the case.
- Not compatible with GoPro Hero 7 Silver/White edition.
- Review evidence includes limited but serious reports of leaks and latch failure, so it’s important to follow seal and latch setup carefully every time.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence for this kit is limited, but the available snippets suggest two clear themes: value and convenience on one side, and occasional reliability problems on the other. Several buyers describe the kit as a complete set with good accessory performance, including useful filter lenses and a sturdy floating handle, and some say they would buy again. At the same time, there is at least one report of immediate leaking and a latch issue, which is the kind of failure you want to avoid in a dive setup. Overall, buyer-review evidence is too limited to quantify a true failure rate, but it does support taking compatibility, sealing steps, and pre-dive checks seriously.
What’s included and how it works
This is more than just a shell. The kit is built around a waterproof plastic housing for GoPro Hero 7/6/5 (2018) Black and includes:
- Underwater waterproof case (waterproof up to 50 m / 164 ft), with a high-transmittance steel glass lens area.
- Anti-fog inserts (12 included) meant to help reduce internal fogging that can ruin shots.
- Floating grip monopod to help keep the camera and accessories on the water surface.
- Three diving filters (pink, red, purple) designed for different water colors and depth ranges.
- Screw and adapter dock for mounting and setup.
Waterproof depth and optical setup
The housing is rated waterproof to 50 m (164 ft). For underwater image clarity, it uses a lens section made of high-transmittance steel glass, and it’s paired with anti-fog inserts to address one of the most common underwater problems, fogging. This combination is aimed at keeping both the view and the interior conditions stable for underwater recording.
Filters for different water colors and depths
A standout feature of this kit is the three-filter bundle, each intended for specific conditions:
- Pink filter: for snorkeling areas, especially in blue water or clear freshwater, roughly at 2 to 15 feet depth.
- Red filter: for deeper blue or tropical water, roughly 15 to 85 feet, including scuba and freediving use.
- Magenta (purple) filter: for correcting greenish water effects, roughly 7 to 70 feet, including freshwater that is green beyond 7 feet.
If you commonly shoot in mixed conditions, having multiple filters can be useful, since underwater color shifts with depth and water type.
Pros and tradeoffs to consider before buying
Best for
- GoPro Hero 7/6/5 (2018) Black owners who want a matched underwater case kit, not a loose assortment of accessories.
- Divers, freedivers, and snorkelers who want a set of color-correction filters to improve underwater footage.
- Buyers who value a floating grip to reduce “drop risk” when filming in open water.
Who should avoid it
- Anyone who needs touchscreen operation while underwater, because touchscreen use isn’t available with the case on.
- GoPro Hero 7 Silver/White edition owners, since the case is not applicable to that model.
Important reality check on reliability
Waterproof housings only work as well as their seal and latch setup. While most buyer snippets highlight satisfaction, there are limited reports of leaks and latch failure. That doesn’t guarantee the same outcome for every unit, but it does mean you should plan for careful fitting, confirm the seal, and do appropriate pre-water testing before relying on it for a trip.
Is the FitStill 50M/164FT case worth it?
If you have a GoPro Hero 7/6/5 (2018) Black and you want a single kit that includes a waterproof case, anti-fog inserts, a floating grip, and three depth-targeted filters, this option is built around that exact use case. The value angle comes from bundling the accessories you would otherwise buy separately. The main reason to pause is the touchscreen limitation and the presence of a small amount of negative feedback centered on waterproof performance and latch reliability. If you’re comfortable doing careful setup and checks every time, the filter bundle and depth rating make it a compelling pick for underwater shooting.
