A:AnswerThere are button relays on the top and the side of the Protective Housing that will allow you to press the buttons on the GoPro. You will not be able to control the camera using the rear touch screen, but nearly all functions can be controlled using the buttons as well.
A:AnswerWhen the GoPro is in the Protective Housing, the camera is fully enclosed. There is no way to connect a cable to the GoPro while it's in this housing.
A:AnswerThe skeleton door is a separate door. You can replace the back door on the Protective Housing, so you'll have the choice of using the solid/waterproof door or the skeleton door depending on how you're planning to use the camera that day.
A:AnswerIf the filters you're using fit directly on the GoPro, then the GoPro will not fit into the Protective Housing. However, if you're using the PolarPro filters designed for the HERO9 Black, those filters are designed to fit onto the housing itself.
A:AnswerIf the GoPro is in the Protective Housing, it will not fit into the Floaty. The Handler would be a better option if you're looking for something to connect to the Protective Housing that will add some buoyancy to the setup.
A:AnswerThe Protective Housing can be used with most ski helmets, but you may need an additional piece or mount to connect it to a ski helmet. One of the most frequent ways people attach their GoPro to a ski helmet is by using an adhesive mount like the one that comes with the camera. With that mount, you can attach the camera to the helmet whether the camera is in the Protective Housing or not. Another option would be to look at the Helmet Front + Side Mount. This mount will work with the camera whether it's in the housing or not and should give you a few more options.
A:AnswerThe GoPro MAX is a different form factor than the HERO models, so this housing will not work in the MAX. GoPro does not make a protective housing for the MAX, but there are protective lenses available.
