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!

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!
