HERO4 Waterproof Housing Depth Rating
Question
What is the depth rating for the HERO4 waterproof housing?
Where does it apply?
 HERO4 cameras
Answer
The depth rating for the camera depends on what housing you are using.
 Each of the HERO4 cameras come with the Standard Housing that is capable of
withstanding depths of up to 131 feet (40 meters).
 If you are using the Dive Housing, it is waterproof to 197' (60 meters)
If you are using a BacPac, here are the depth ratings:
 If you are using the Dive Housing BacPac Backdoor, the depth rating is 197' (60 meters).
 If you are using the Standard Housing with the Standard BacPac Backdoor, the depth
rating is 131' (40 meters).
 If you are using the Standard Housing with the Touch BacPac Backdoor, the depth rating
is 10' (3 meters).
Before taking the unit in the water you'll want to be sure to verify that there is no dirt or debris
along the white rubber gasket that could compromise the integrity of the waterproof case.
To ensure that the camera is fully sealed, push the housing backdoor all the way in before
securing the black latch on the top of the case.
If you are using the camera in salt water, it's always a good idea to safely remove the camera and
wash the housing with fresh water.
