Hello HomeBuiltROVs,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with working with GoPro camera cases that would
a. Waterproof the camera ends
b. Allow a way to mount the camera someway to the frame


Thank you! :D

Are you looking to go deeper than the included case the camera comes with or feed live video from the camera and need a way to seal the cable?

If you are looking to modify the existing case... i have seen a few examples of where they take the backpack door, and mounted a grommet in that. This allowed the 30pin connector to be connected, and extended outside the case to the control system.

Here is an example:

Not my work personally... but I am a BIG fan of the idea!
