GoPro Sleeve + Lanyard in White Hot (HERO7 Black/HERO7 Silver/HERO7 White/HERO6 Black/HERO5 Black) - Official GoPro Accessory

I've been using GoPros for a number of years, and have most of their official accessories such as the telescopic sticks, tripod mount, gimbal, etc.But with each new iteration, the built-in stabilisation has continued to improve, and it's now (with the 7 series) reached the point where even handheld footage from a rough rollercoaster comes out incredibly stable. Which is why this sleeve is pretty much the only accessory I now take with me.It's made from thick, tight-fitting rubber, putting it over the GoPro is almost like it donning a diving suit. It's not difficult to take off when you need to access the charging port, but once it's on there is no way it's going to fall out of it no matter how much you shake or swing it around. The cord is also reassuring thick, doesn't chafe your neck. It's run through a rubber latch on the body to connect the two parts together, and it's super study, you could swing this thing around your head for days and there is no way the cord will snap or detach from the body.The materials are lightweight, so it doesn't add much bulk or weight to the device at all. And being able to just wear your gopro around your head and forget about it until you need it is so much better than having to keep it in a rucksack.

The material is great, nice colour, smooth to touch and stretchy so it’s easy to put on and remove. The lanyard is strong and has a sliding locking clasp, with a detatchable neck link.The sleeve has holes where the speakers and microphones are, and offers protection to the screen due to the proudness of the edging of the sleeve should it be placed screen down on a surface.The only improvements I would suggest to GoPro for a new version would be, a cut out for the front screen of the black edition, and a small hole so the red LED can be seen from on the front of the camera (as the material is too thick for it to show through). But great job GoPro, another accessory that is practical for those moments where you can have the camera ready to start recording instantly.

I don't use the GoPro for filming 'Action Stuff' like slow motion 360 jumps over ski ramps. It's a family camera that's great for days out and water parks on holidays. I use it mostly on a tripod but this lanyard is great for walks out where you can just stick it around your neck and have it to hand when needed. It's as good as it needs to be and the lanyard is thick and comfortable - although the go pro feels heavier than you think if not warn over a jumper. It feels like it should be half the price but... it's a genuine go pro and they aren't cheep.

Nicely made cover but quite expensive. I would have liked a lense cover to go with it but it feels very tactile and will protect the body. It looks good when on but is not particularly easy to get on and off. The lanyard that comes with it is also good quality but has one of those built in weak point clips that means it will disconnect if it gets caught on something when you are wearing it round your neck.

Bought a GoPro for our trip to Thailand - this sleeve/lanyard seemed like a good idea for extra protection and to keep it attached to us whilst doing different activities. The sleeve was great but the lanyard got a small hairline crack in it after just one use which then grew and meant it wouldn’t click together from then on.
