If you have a GoPro, this is a MUST-HAVE kit to protect and preserve your camera. It comes with a silicone sleeve/cover, two sets of screen protectors, two lens covers, replacement battery door with access to USB-C port, lanyard, and supplies for cleaning and installing the screen protectors.
The silicone sleeve/cover fits like a glove on the GoPro Hero11 Black and the HERO12 Black. (FiTSTILL lists compatibility down to HERO9 Black.) The density and thickness of the silicone are very good. Your camera will be protected from light to moderate impacts and from scuffs and scratches.
There are two sets of screen protectors. They're not a perfect match, dimensionally, to the glass on the camera, but you really don't want them to be. They're just a touch smaller---leaving very, very little uncovered space that would be vulnerable to impact and damage.
To apply the screen protectors, you want to make certain that they go on clean, DUST-FREE glass. Even the tiniest speck of dust or lint will leave an annoying blister that never goes away. Every time you look at the screen, that bubble will remind you that you screwed up the installation. It'll be the permanent pimple on the tip of your nose.
So how do you avoid that pesky, ubiquitous dust that's guarantied to screw up the installation? What's the best way to apply the screen protectors? Glad you ask, Kemosabe...
1. Run a hot shower for a few minutes in your bathroom.
2. Let the steam fill the room so any airborne dust can't remain afloat. They're knocked down by the moisture/humidity.
3. Turn off your A/C or heater, so it doesn't kick in unexpectedly and blow in dusty air just at the wrong time.
4. Clean the camera screens and make certain they're DUST-FREE just before you enter your 'clean room.'
5. Slowly open the bathroom door. Avoid creating air turbulence that picks up and swirls dust. Enter. Close the door.
6. In the bathroom, after one last checking or cleaning of the camera glass, hold the screen protector by the edges and peel off the backing.
7. GENTLY place, DON'T PRESS, a screen protector on the matching glass surface. Use a toothpick to move/slide and (re)position it.
8. When you're happy with #7, press down the center of the screen protector with your fingertip. Watch the protector getting "sucked" onto the camera glass.
9. Hope there's no pimple on the tip of your nose.
***Although it's better to not let too much condensation build up on the camera screen, you're still okay to apply the screen protector even if there is. Any "trapped" moisture will escape, eventually.
Two lens covers come with the kit. One is for the naked camera, and the other is for the camera wearing the silicone sleeve. The latter has an eyelet to connect a tether between it and the sleeve to keep it from being lost. Unfortunately, the smaller cover for the naked camera does not have an eyelet.
Both lens covers are semi-secure. They're a good fit and do hold on the lens, not loose to the point that they'll easily fall off by shaking the camera. However, if you carry the camera in your pocket or bag, it can pull off from rubbing, tossing, and tugging, so keep some rubber bands handy to secure the cap.
*Even the larger of the lens covers will NOT work with the Max Lens Mod 2.0. Just use the cover (half of the case) that came with the lens. I assume it doesn't work with the First Gen Lens Mod either. Also, the silicone sleeve DOES FIT with the Max Lens Mod 2.0 installed.
A replacement battery door is included that gives you access to the USB-C port via a smaller door-on-door. This is a great feature.
There is a corresponding opening on the silicone sleeve that gives you access to the small door-on-door. No need to peel off the sleeve from the GoPro. (To change the battery or Micro SD, you do need to peel off part of the sleeve to open the battery door.)
The only downside to the replacement battery door is that it compromises the waterproof protection that comes with the factory door. With the replacement, the camera is only water resistant. Having said that, I don't trust the factory door to be full-proof waterproof either. (I would submerge the camera only if it's enclosed in the Protective Underwater Housing. I've read about anecdotal experiences that the factory door didn't prevent water seepage.)
What they call the lanyard is actually a wrist strap. I don't use it. The nylon rope around the wrist is fine, but I don't trust the line that attaches to the sleeve/camera. It's too thin for my liking. Better safe than sorry.
Because it is so thin, the first visual cue that hints that the line may fail is the camera launching into the sunset or tumbling down a cliff as I'm twirling the GoPro...not that I twirl.
A 10" length of a braided, nylon line also is included that's meant to be used as the tether for the larger lens cover. I believe it's the same, thin line that's on the wrist strap.
Lastly, you get a plastic case that contains the two sets of lens protectors, two small patches of microfiber cloths, two sets of wet/dry wipes for cleaning the camera screens, and two sets of stickers to facilitate aligning and installing the protectors.
If you own a HERO12/11/10/9, get this kit. I wholeheartedly recommend it. It'll be the best $16 +/- add-on to and for your GoPro.
With this kit installed on your camera, the perfect complement is FiTSTILL's "Mini Carrying Case" ($9.99). It's a zip-up case with a semi-rigid polyurethane outer shell. Between the two, your GoPro will be well p*r*o*t*e*c*t*e*d in your bag or luggage. And with or without the lens cover, a naked or sleeved GoPro fits in the case. Unfortunately, with the Max Lens Mod 2.0 installed, the camera will not fit.
