Perfect for surfing or snorkeling, hiking or climbing, the HD Wrist Housing makes it easy to have a camera on hand for video and photo opportunities that occur at times when traditional cameras are too inconvenient to use or carry. No pockets? No problem if you are wearing the HD Wrist Housing. The housing can also be strapped to gear such as kayak paddles and the leading edge of kitesurfing kites. This allows the kitesurfer to film their entire session looking down from above, as though they had a private helicopter camera crew following them while they surf. Compatible with ALL HD HERO Original + HD HERO2 Cameras

One GoPro accessory you can do without.
By Kal
I purchased this accessory to go Scuba Diving with.Firstly, the quality of this wrist housing is what you could expect from something from GoPro. However the retainer ring/hook to keep the housing secured to your wrist is quite sketchy and it does come undone frequently. (I even held the rubber ring back as far as the velcro would allow to keep it taunt, and it would still pop off.) This accessory doesn't allow you to use any other mounts. You can either use it flipped up, or held down by the hook and that is it.I was pretty disappointed that you cannot customize the direction the camera is facing, because you basically have to keep your arm bent and held to your chest as if it was in a sling to get a front-facing shot. While scuba diving this isn't entirely difficult because you can use your other arm to steer while your fins are propelling you obviously.At $40 this is probably the worst accessory offered by GoPro and it's functions are limited. I have since purchased the much cheaper, and more customizable head strap. Also, the chest harness might be another option for those considering this.If I had to pull some positives for this, and since I do own it and need to figure out ways to make it useful. It does conveniently keep your GoPro within reach, and can be flipped up to take pictures. Also, if you don't mind looking like you're wearing a sling then you can take some video as well.As mentioned I purchased this to do some scuba diving with, and this is a video from my Scuba Certification Class I took last year. [...] This is with the Original HD Hero, no additional lighting, and could use an underwater lens. The video is decent but that's all related to the camera and not the wrist housing. As mentioned I'm not satisfied with the functionality of the wrist mount itself and think there are better alternatives.

Your guess is as good as mine
By xoxomomo
I bought this to use while snorkeling and diving in Hawaii. Shipped quickly and landed on my doorstep just before we were about to leave. There are NO instructions included with this and it says to go to their website for complete instructions which I did. I surfed all around their site with no luck. Ended up finding someone else's YouTube video on how to secure the housing properly and improve the stability and then "Ahhhhh!" it all became clear (so THAT'S what that random black strap is for) so minus one star for including mysterious velcro straps and not telling you how to use them.Waterproof: Check!Secure: Check!Easy to operate under water: Check!Turtle proof: Check! Great footage of sea turtle inspecting the camera!Underwater focus: Uhhhhhh...okay so pretty terrible as is but better once you buy an aftermarket flat port. I hear a new underwater housing will soon be coming from GoPro.All-in-all, it did what I needed it to do which is leave me relatively hands free underwater (despite the focus issue) while keeping my camera securely strapped to me...and safe from overly curious turtles.

Not recommended
By Mar
Although I love the gopro and gopro2, this is one accessory that I would not recommend. The strap does not hold the casing in place well, there are zero instructions to help you (although even with them it would not work well). Yes you can fix it by playing McGyver but if you plan on doing that you could do the same with the original casing. As for the shipper, the product arrived in good time and was in new condition, shipper did their part, it is gopro that is lacking here.
