Only the Backscatter custom housing offers sharp focus, no vignetting, and underwater removable filters. GoPro finally came out with a flat lens housing to solve the underwater focus problem. Due to popular demand, we have continued production on our custom housing as hundreds of our customers are still asking for the flexibility of underwater removable filters.
The standard GoPro housing has blurry focus underwater.
The new GoPro Dive housing does not accept removable filters.
We take the standard GoPro housing and hotrod it with our custom glass lens and machined aluminum filter mount.
Only our custom filter mount allows you to add or remove filters underwater.
Use any creative filter (55mm) above and below water for special effects and exposure correction.
No messy glue, professionally installed, and pressure tested to 180 feet.
We remove the original dome port to prevent image killing reflections.
Unlike the new GroPro Dive, our housing features a rubber gasket to prevent image killing flare.
Unlock your creativity above and below the water with our filter options.

Custom Options
Add the Camera
The Backscatter Custom Underwater GoPro Housing does NOT include the camera. If you do not already have a GoPro, then add one of the systems below.
Add a Light Package
GoPro cameras perform best in bright light. Add a compact Sola light to bring out the best colors on close-up reef shots.
Add our new Aluminum Handle & Tray
Get a grip on stability with our new compact aluminum handle. Includes GoPro tripod mount.
Add a Protective Port Cap
Snap on this tough lens cap to protect your housing optics from the bumps and grinds of travel. Not for underwater use.
Add an Underwater Color Correction Filter
We commissioned the experts at Magic Filter to design an underwater removable filter tailored to the auto white balance characteristics of the GoPro. No other underwater filter offers better color saturation!
Add a Polarizer Filter
Use our polarizing filter to reduce glare on water surfaces, add contrast to snow filled scenes, and make clouds pop out of a deep blue sky.
Add a Graduated Split ND Filter
Tired of overexposed skies? Our 2-stop split neutral density filter will even out your exposures and saturate sky details.
Add the Joby Gorillapod and GoPro Tripod Mount
This flexible tripod will allow you to set your GoPro just about anywhere. Includes GoPro tripod mount.
Add the LCD Monitor Back and /or Expanded Battery Pack
The GoPro itself does not have a way to view what the camera is recording. With the LCD BacPac, you will be able to view and replay the images and video you take.
Add the Anit-Fogging Inserts
These will help to heep your housing from fogging on the inside of the housing, keeping a clear port for video and photos.

* Manufacturing variance in your GoPro Hero housing / camera / filter might cause shadowed corners. Hero camera is more forgiving than Hero 2 camera. Remove 55mm filter element from threaded ring and use o-ring mount if your filter ring is too thick and causes shadowed corners. Test your configuration before critical use. ** Final image must be cropped to 16:9 format to avoid shadowed corners
