Hi

Does anyone have experience with the dive case? How good is the gasket - does it need silicone grease?

Thanks

  • Hi there, used the dive case for the first time for a kitesurf, no issues with the gasket dry as a bone inside after several heavy water impacts though obviously no great depth.

    Case comes with desiccant inserts which I didn't bother with today and fogging wasn't an issue.

    As for the rest of the case be warned it is MASSIVE I used it on the wrist mount today and the size/weight increase over the 'naked' virb is quite considerable.

    Also my biggest gripe is that you can't access any of the buttons on the right side of the camera- no stills or changing settings once in the case!!

    Hopefully the +ANT remote will be released soon but that's not got to help for proper underwater use cases!

    Hope this helps ;-)
  • The ANT+ Remote hit GPSCity on Friday, so it is out there now.
