"I have to state in advance that I didn't give it a try under water yet, but I'm very satisfied about the build quality (very good polymer rubber) and mostly about the high visibility through the rubber. At least out of the water, you can clearly see the back screen. The water seaing seems to be very good as well. Deeply satisfied"
"It arrived very poorly packaged as if Outex had just slung a few of the parts without careful wrapping. There are no instructions just advice to follow a video which doesn't help sort out the external strap. Hoping it will work!"
"It doesn‘t make sense to buy the Entry Kit. You can‘t see anything and its very difficult to pull it over a Camera like Canon 5d. Unfortunately i have to buy the pro Kit - because no exchange"
"I got the basic kit and love it. The housing has worked flawlessly every time. It was a little tough the first time to put it on, but that was to be expected. Plan to upgrade to the done kit."
"I like it. Tried it in waves at Jupiter inlet Florida."
"literally one of the best investments i have ever done"
"I had a really hard time seeing through the plastic. I shot blind basically. Since I can't return it, I suppose its a good strategy to get people to upgrade to the pro kit."
"Overall decent product for the price. My cover material was very thick around all sides except for the left side where it was obviously much thinner, as if was a manufacturing flaw, like it wasn’t made evenly. I tested it to ensure it’s waterproof as per the instructions and it is, however, the thinness of the one side makes me worry about how long it will hold up before it’s tears there. Not a good worry to have when submerging an expensive DSLR. It also makes me worry that it will year there when I put the camera in and out of the cover. The front glass that came also had a few marks on it that I attempted to clean off thinking it was just dirt or adhesive but it isn’t coming off making me think it’s actually permanent scratches. However, so far none of these marks have appeared in photos or had any effect on the quality of the images."
"I have not received it yet."
The GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS is weatherproof, not waterproof. The Outex Entry Kit changes that — giving you professional waterproofing to 10 metres / 33 feet while preserving full operational use of your camera and whichever Micro Four Thirds lens you choose to shoot with.
This kit is configured specifically for the MISSION 1 PRO ILS and its MFT lens mount. Select the front glass port size that matches the filter thread of the lens you'll be using (printed on the lens barrel), and Outex will ship the correctly matched optical glass port with your cover.
The GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS is smaller and more compact than most mirrorless and DSLR camera bodies. When installed inside the Outex flexible cover, you'll notice some additional cover material around the body — this is by design and does not impede operation in any way. The flexible cover conforms naturally around the camera and lens, and the extra material simply folds and tucks without affecting:
The Outex architecture wasn't moulded around one specific camera body — it was designed to accommodate the full range of camera shapes and sizes. The MISSION 1 PRO ILS fits naturally and securely within that system.
Unlike hard housings that place a fixed viewport in front of a predetermined lens position, Outex front glass ports attach directly to the filter thread of your lens — the same way a photographic filter does. This means the optical glass port:
Common MFT lenses compatible with the GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS include the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8, Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8, Panasonic 7-14mm f/4, Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4, and others. Check the filter thread size printed on the front of your chosen lens and select that size at checkout. Not sure? Choose "Other / I don't know" and we'll contact you to confirm.
Optional: add wrist or neck straps at checkout for hands-free transport and added security in the water.
The Entry Kit is an excellent starting point — but if you want the full capability of your GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS underwater, the Outex Camera Pro Kit goes further.
The Pro Kit adds a rear optical glass panel behind the camera body, which enables:
Over 80% of Outex camera customers choose the Pro Kit for this reason. You can also upgrade your Entry Kit to Pro at any time by purchasing the Pro Cover and Rear Glass Assembly separately from our Parts collection.
**120mm dome** — Compact, lighter, more portable. Great value for most underwater and split-level work.
**180mm dome** — Larger dome = better optical correction, especially for wide-angle lenses and split-level photography. Recommended for professional and demanding use. Heavier and bulkier than the 120mm.
