GoPro Hero 4 Cases: Pros and Cons of Different cases

Here is a video review of some GoPro cases for the Hero 4. I am reviewing the skeleton case, the regular waterproof case and a protective case that looks similar to the underwater case but has an open side port.



     First off is the underwater case, this case is absolutely necessary if you are taking any underwater footage because the GoPro Hero 4 is not waterproof. This is one of my favorite case, but as it is meant to keep out water, it also does a good job at keeping out noise. So if you plan on doing any vlogging, or if you want to include sound in your video then you shouldn't use this case on land.
     When you take your GoPro out of its case to get decent sound you will quickly notice that there is no protection and you can't mount it to any of your mounts, that is where the skeleton mount comes in handy. It protects the outer edge of your GoPro and has holes where the microphones on your GoPro are and it also has a hole where your side port for audio is located.  This is great, because if you have external audio, it can really improve your audio quality.
     One thing you will notice about the skeleton case is that it doesn't offer any protection for your lens or the LCD touchscreen. This is where the other case comes in handy, it offers plenty of protection and it still has an open side port to connect an external microphone. With this case, you will need an external mic or you could drill holes where the GoPro's microphones are located.
